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.
Thanks Raj! I saw that the ServiceMix download included Jetty and
Hibernate. I admit I don't know enough about it - so I didn't realize
those were optional.
If there is enough interest, it would be nice to get a discussion
going in a Jira issue or on the Wiki.
