  | The long term goal is to use either MC, OSGi or both (not MK).

  | In any case the ESB services need to be configurable/constructed by as many frameworks as possible and need to be isolated from whichever one is in control.

  | The intention is to have integration layers for these frameworks, where needed, in much the same way that TS does with AS.

  | As for componentising the ESB, I was talking about the possibility of componentising into finer grained deployments than the jars we already have :-).

I can't remember who I was talking to in Berlin, but the image I have is of one of my 4 year old son's toys: it's a jigsaw but the pieces come held into place by a foam wrapper. 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 ;-)
