RE: [servicemix-dev] openadaptor

James,

 

I had an e-mail dialogue with Steve Howe and Kevin Scully about JBI yesterday.  Although they are aware of it, it’s not part of the next generation OA architecture.  They’ve had that pretty locked down for a couple of months now.  That said, the new architecture should make it possible to develop a nice bridge between the two projects.  We expect to get a “pre-release” copy of the code sometime later this month.

 

In the mean time, I’ve been looking into how to bridge the existing OA code with ServiceMix.  I think the best solution will be to use the ServiceMix client APIs to build openadaptor components that can produce and consume messages to/from ServiceMix.  That said, I’m open to other suggestions. 

 

Any chance you have some time for a quick chat on this subject?  We are definitely interested in helping, but want to make sure that we go about it the right way.

 

Thanks,

Steve.

Greetings,

I’ve been playing around with ServiceMix for the past couple of weeks.  I’ve a bunch of the examples and have been poking around the source code.

I just noticed that you have openadaptor bindings as a planned enhancement for release 1.1.  Any update on where you stand with this effort?

We've not actually started yet - so any contributions are most welcome :)



dbConcert has been partners with the openadaptor group for almost 4 years now.  We’ve got a very good understanding of the current code base and have been working with the core team on the plans and architecture of the next major release.  We’d love to help with if possible.

 

Great!

 

BTW I know most of the openadaptor team; I had beers with them a little while ago - its been far too long, must be time for another :). 

 

If they're looking at the next architecture of openadaptor it might be good to consider making a JBI ca core piece, or at the very least providing clean JBI gateways in & out. In many ways the JBI NormalizedMessage is a fairly similar concept to the DataObject in openadaptor - it'd be interesting to look at the openadaptor components and investigating how easy it'd be to migrate to JBI.



What do you suggest as a next step?

 

We should chat to the openadaptor guys about their new architecture to see if JBI could play a part. In the meantime I was thinking it'd be a good idea to create an openadaptor component in ServiceMix that could go in/out of JBI via openadaptor and vice versa then openadaptor and JBI can work well together.
