ServiceMix is an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) that combines the functionality of a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and an Event Driven Arthitecture (EDA)  to create an agile, enterprise ESB.

ServiceMix is an open source distributed ESB built from the ground up on the  Java Business Integration (JBI) specification JSR 208 and released under the Apache license. The goal of JBI is to allow components and services to be integrated in a vendor independent way, allowing users and vendors to plug and play.

Features

ServiceMix is lightweight and easily embeddable, has integrated Spring support and can run at the edge of the network inside a client or server, as a stand-alone ESB provider, or as a service within another ESB. You can use ServiceMix in a Java SE or a Java EE application server.

ServiceMix uses ActiveMQ to provide remoting, clustering, reliability and distributed failover.

ServiceMix is completely integrated into Apache Geronimo, which allows deployment of JBI components and services directly into Geronimo. ServiceMix is being JBI certified as part of the Geronimo project.

Other J2EE application servers ServiceMix has been integrated with include JBoss with more to follow.

JBI Container

ServiceMix includes a complete JBI container supporting all parts of the JBI specification including:

  • Normalized Message Service and Router
  • JBI Management MBeans
  • Ant Tasks for management and installation of components
  • full support for the JBI deployment units with hot-deployment of JBI components

ServiceMix also provides a simple to use Client API for working with JBI components and services.

In addition, ServiceMix provides an implementation of WS Notification.

JBI Components

ServiceMix includes many JBI components including BPEL, Drools, WSIF, and many more ...

Service Oriented Integration with Servicemix Talk

My talk from Javapolis 2007 titled Service Oriented Integration With Apache ServiceMix has been posted on the Parleys website for anyone who's interested. This presentation discusses the definition of an Enterprise Service Bus, Java Business Integration, Apache ServiceMix 3, a little bit of Apache Camel and some info about Apache ServiceMix 4. It also shows a somewhat basic app that wires together various JBI components to demonstrate how apps are built with ServiceMix. So if you are interested in a simple app this might help you.
