When you pull the pieces out you're left with a square within which is the outline of where the pieces go (hey, it's for 4 year olds!) If you consider the wrapper as the core ESB and the individual pieces as services, then that's where I'd like us to be heading: the core is pretty thin but critical to binding everything together; the individual services are implementations the core (or applications) need and they can all be separately deployed (or not) depending on your requirements. Maybe it loses something in translation ;-) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3988744#...
