@Adrian what do you use to connect OFBiz to ESB ? @Jacques Camel also supports async routing and much more, like Throttler, Delayer, Load Balancer ... so it might be useful also in your case.
@All I just updated the post with a new example which shows how to run OFBiz and Camel separately and use RMI to communicate. In the demo application [1] Camel will listen for tweets with a given keyword and create a note in OFBiz using createNote service. Something like this might be useful, if you want to follow twitter and see if someone is mentioning your company, products and create a CommunicationEvent, Task in OFBiz. Or even use an ECA to tweet every time a new product is released... Anyway, this is not supposed be included in OFBiz. The idea is if someone wants to integrate OFBiz with an external system, can leverage the available Camel connectors and enterprise integration patterns, by simply connecting OFBiz and Camel.
