Hi Gert, Sorry for the late response.I am working in my graduation project so i am pretty busy until June which make me not very useful until then but i will glad to help in making things better. Some of use cases of my application i am about to develop are :
- To be able to invoke EJB3 functionality from within SM4 and vice versa - To use BPEL for orchestration of services what is very surprising is the fact that no one have the right answer at least for the first use case, i am may not be very skilled or experimented but i thought that using an ESB is in part about integration between legacy apps and new ones and in most cases they are JEE apps but that's me :) Back to the documentation part i think that the first things to do is to restructure the documentation and to complete the missing parts (especially the blank pages in SM website) as Gert said. the PDF thing is just how to deliver this documentation which very useful for off line usage and can be shipped with SM releases.BTW i think that confluence can generate PDF files thanks to plugins: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence+to+PDF Some folks talked about making an open source book for SM in the users mailing list see : http://cwiki.apache.org/SM/discussion-forums.html#nabble-td22374793|a22374793 i think that is a great idea too.
