Hi Greg,

Please find my responses to your query below

 - If you are using a single standalone ServiceMix, when does ActiveMQ be
used ?

Servicemix uses ActiveMQ to support flows such as the JMS and JCA Flows. It
also uses the ActiveMQ in order to allow JMS Components, Services and
Endpoints to connect to a running ActiveMQ Broker. For more detail check the
servicemix.xml file and Servicemix configuration documentation

- Per example, if I create a simple file poller/file receiver, is ActiveMQ
being used ?

No it is not unless the File Poller and File Receiver are wired together
using a JMS/JCA Flow in which case the answer is Yes. Each of these
components will be wired/connected to each other using a JMS Queue which can
be easily verified using a JMX Console.

- Is it possible to start ServiceMix without ActiveMQ ?

It is possible but it will take some work. The default configuration in
servicemix.xml will need to be re-worked so as to not invoke ActiveMQ and
start a broker. This assumes that no use of JMS components should be made.
Also other configurations for JNDI, Transaction and others should be
suitably modified. It is definately possible but may not be worth the effort
:). 

Cheers,

Ashwin...
