Amit,
Just gave ServiceMix a try on our system and it works (i.e. ServiceMix
starts and components get installed when copied to the appropriate
directory; I'm still struggling a bit with using ServiceMix myself, so I
didn't try to deploy anything yet). I just had to comment out a few
lines in the servicemix shell script (lines 182-189, where the vendor
specific flags are being set) that is included in the archive to get it
running in QShell using the *nix commands specified on the ServiceMix
website.
If you want to use it on a production machine, you will want to submit
it to batch, preferably in it's own subsystem, because I noticed it uses
a lot of CPU. There are some good articles available on the web for
running e.g. JBoss on a System i (just Google on the words JBoss,
iSeries and SBSD), which show you how to set up such a subsystem. If
you have a recent System i server or if you can upgrade to V5R4, you
might want to take a look at the new IBM Technology for Java VM. Their
are is a redpaper available on this technology, which gives you some
advice on when to use it and when to prefer the classic VM.

Gert,
Thanks for valuable inputs.
My question was whether I can deploy ServiceMix based application on OS/400
and would there be any runtime issues. I also do not see any issue in it.
But on servicemix website, downloads are available only for
linux/windows/unix/Max OS X. Since ours is OS/400 environment, I was
wondering whether it would work on it or not and whether it contains any OS
specific code/apis?

Amit,
It depends on what you mean with your question...
I suppose that ServiceMix (as any standard Java application) should run
fine on OS/400, but you might have to install JDK 1.5 (licensed program)
on your system. I have never tried it myself though. As far as I know,
ServiceMix does not have any out-of-the-box connectors for System i
(e.g. to work with data queues), but I'm sure someone will correct me if
they should exist anyway...
Personally, I'm also looking to replace a legacy XML message handling
infrastructure with a more flexible ESB implementation (such as Apache
ServiceMix) on System i myself within the next few months. Therefore,
if you should run into trouble while implementing ServiceMix on System
i, I'm always willing to help you look into the System i specific issues.
If you would like to have some specific connectors (e.g. to a data
queue), we could always start a joined effort to develop these as part
of Apache ServiceMix. I'm sure the ServiceMix community would welcome
any new component and it would also be a good thing for the System i
users to have an open-source ESB that has out-of-the-box support for
their favorite platform (other than Mule, which already has this support)

Hi,
Does ServiceMix support OS/400?
