Hi Resmy, Could you please be more specific on your requirement, specially on what sort of a transport that you intend to use to communicate with ESB? In general, the ESB performs mediation. If the message does not need to invoke a back end service that is still fine with it.
See the comments below as well.

Client ----------(1)---------> ESB --------- (2) -------> Service This is what you can see in most of the samples. As I understand, you want to eliminate the second message flow which invokes a Web service. This is perfectly fine with the ESB. There are many alternatives that you can do other than to invoke a Web service. So if you can mention what sort of a operation that you want to do in the second phase it will be easy for me to come up with a solution for you. Just FYI the first message flow can also be something other than SOAP over HTTP. > thanks > > Remsy > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Paul Fremantle > Sent: September 16, 2008 5:13 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [esb-java-user] endpoints > > > Remsy > > We support files (vfs: urls), email, jms (including MQ), as well as > XMPP, pure HTTP, FIX and TCP. > > See some samples: > http://wso2.org/project/esb/java/1.7.1/docs/ESB_Samples.html#Sample252 > http://wso2.org/project/esb/java/1.7.1/docs/ESB_Samples.html#Sample250 > http://wso2.org/project/esb/java/1.7.1/docs/ESB_Samples.html#Sample254 > > Paul > > Schmilinsky, Remsy wrote: > >> Hi.
