Hi, Since there is hardly any documentation (yet) on both JBI and ServiceMix, I think that the best way to start is by reading the JBI spec (forget the Management chapters, but try to understand the concepts).
Once you understand the concepts, start playing with ServiceMix. (you will probably have to switch back to the spec sometimes..) Just to help you start, there's one thing that was not clear to, so it may be useful for others too : Usually, to be conformant with the spec, you have to provide a jar with a jbi.xml for each of your JBI components (either Binding Components or Service Engines). This is supported by ServiceMix (as well as with Geronimo, which is integrated with ServiceMix). However, it appears that everybody prefers Spring, so ServiceMix provides an alternative way of deploying JBI compoenents : Spring and POJOs.. So basically, all the examples you will see in serviceMix distribution are using Spring and POJOs, so don't worry if you don't see any jbi.xml file. It is still unclear to me as to whether the spring-syntax runs on a unmodified spring distribution, or whether you have to use their spring. ServiceMix site states tha you can use the regular spring syntax, which doesn't seem to work for me, leading to "null source" exceptions. (it may not be related to this exactly..
