Having read many pages of docs, tried the examples, searched and read this forum, I'm still having difficulties understanding exaxctly what ServiceMix is used for and how to actually use it to solve a problem. In a very basic sense, I still don't exactly understand how my Java app "talks" to ServiceMix. I've seen references to XML but exactly what do I do with the XML? A problem I'm trying to solve with SM is this: I have a service I'd like to make available to a Java portlet, an intranet web app, and an IP phone via a web app. The service looks up a stock quote. I could simply write a web service to look up the stock quote, cache it, and provide it when requested. So how does ServiceMix do this any better? With the web service, I call it with web service client code. How do I call SM and what do I send it? It may seem a simple thing to someone involved with messaging and SOA and ESB for a while, but to a newbie such as myself, it's a bit confusing.
If I could be pointed to good resources (articles, books, etc.) that would help answer my questions I'd really appreciate it. I'm all about doing the research myself, but I'm had a difficult time finding the answers to date. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/What-is-ServiceMix-used-for--tf2370795.html#a6604770 Sent from the ServiceMix - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
