James, I just realized that you described importing the entire XML file as a blob. We actually extract the contents and store it in the database rather than keep the entire file. This is because half of the contents are *garbage* (stuff we don't use). Are there still generic JBI components that Servicemix provides I can use or must I still create a JBI wrapper around my persistent POJO?
