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.

I don't think ServicMix has their own persistence and service layers.
ServiceMix is implementation of Java Business Integration (JBI) What
they have are called Binding Components (BC)and Service Engines (SE). I
see OFBiz applications as another BEs and communicating to each other
using JBI standards.
Also, we can run service mix as standalone as well as embedded
container. For example Apache Geronimo application server embeds
ServiceMix. ServiceMix 4.0 will support OSGi components.
