In my current project we use Camel (via ServiceMix) to handle all of our integration with our other applications. The application I'm personally working on uses Sling/JCR to store most of its content, but a large amount of other stuff it uses is held in data stores in these other applications.
Currently, I'm creating servlets for every external application operation I want to expose, then manually invoking Camel to fetch/push data across the ESB. Lately, I've been thinking of creating a ResourceProvider to expose all my camel endpoints as Resources, which would mesh a lot more cleanly with Sling. Looking at the Sling source, I can see the ResourceResolver for JCR; ResourceProviderFactories for Servlets; and ResourceProviders for each of the filesystem, servlets, bundles, users, and the JCR. My question is, what parts do I need to implement myself to have integration with ServiceMix as transparent as the other types of resources? -Jason
