Bus (ESB) and Messaging broker; features pluggable connectivity with JMS and JBI
integration. Initially sponsored by SymphonySoft (now operating as Ricston), now
startup MuleSource is supporting Mule. |
Built from the ground up on the Java Business Integration (JBI)
specification JSR 208 and released under the Apache license. LogicBlaze seeded
the project, and built the Fuse SOA platform on ServiceMix. Launched as an ASF
incubation project Dec. 2005. |
Based on JBI specification JSR-208. The JBI engine and a few components from
the OpenESB project are included in the Java EE 5 SDK which was launched at
JavaOne this year and the associated tooling was released as beta as part of
NetBeans 5.5 and the Enterprise Pack also at JavaOne. |
In October 2005, JBoss announced its SOA strategy and positioned the JBoss
Enterprise Middleware Suite (JEMS) as the Open Source Platform for SOA. Its
roadmap includes expanding JEMS to include an ESB. |
