I spent a little time looking at ServiceMix. It seems to duplicate a lot of the
OFBiz infrastructure - which may be good or bad. It has its own application
server container and persistence engine. Maybe we could create our own ESB
based on whatever persistence layer OFBiz uses (Entity Engine or some future
existing library) and JBI.
I really like the idea of OFBiz implementing ESB - an OFBiz user could easily
plug in additional ESB applications.
