Not as far as I can tell. Which is the primary reasons that I'm not a fan of positioning an ESB as the crux of a SOA infrastructure. An ESB is a useful tool for encapsulating legacy functionality and exposing it as a service, but it's primary purpose is integration rather than disintegration. An ESB is rarely used to reduce redundancy of data and functionality.
