What are the advantages of using 'real' components?
It is very simple to build a single business story in a LW manner, however there are constraints upon the way you can deploy LW components. Dependencies of LW components must be managed manually and all component definitions are in the same servicemix.xml file.
Once you start to reach an environment where you have multiple, independent business stories , each deployed with their own lifecycle, a mechanism is required to simplify deployment and management.
Full components can be deployed using the JBI Service Unit / Service Assembly pattern and each SA can be managed independently.
