Thanks for reply. I do not have a spring configuration file yet but I
get the point that a single file will suffice.
Let me explain what I mean by integration. We have an abstract layer on
top of EJBs and a layer of business components (lets call them BCs) on
top of this abstract layer. These are equivalent of EJBs in any other
architecture. I want these BCs to be callable from other JBI components
and vice versa. I also want these BCs to be manageable via Sping JMX and
want to switch their persistence to Hibernate via Spring.
To achieve this, as far as I understand, I need to to as follows:
1. Create an adapter that will expose these BCs as JBI components.
2. When J2EE container starts, load spring via some one time load
mechanism (J2EE containers provide such facilities).
3. When each of these BCs gets loaded (BCs are lazy loaded), (somehow)
plug into service mix dynamically to be able to receive/send normalized
messages.
4. Also, register with Spring (somehow) so that these components become
manageable via JMX. I think I need another adapter here.
5. I will be able to use hibernate as spring is already loaded.
Does this make sense? Thanks for your input.

I am thinking of integrating spring and esb into our enterprise
application. I am not sure how to get started about this. Here are a
few thoughts and questions.
1. I am thinking that once I integrate servicemix, it means spring is
automatically integrated. I will be able to use the same configuration
file for hibernate, jmx etc. Or should the integration points be
different for different components?
If you (will) already have spring configuration files, the easiest way
is to add the ServiceMix configuration to it (or import it from the
existing one).
You do not need to have several unrelated spring configuration.
2. How can I integrate servicemix with a j2ee application assuming the
application server doesnt have servicemix in it already? Any thoughts?
