James Any idea on the timeline for integrating Java 1.5 components, we might run into this on the CORBA side also so it would be good to know.

Apache ServiceMix is already integrated into Geronimo to provide these same ESB capabilities using the underlying Geronimo services like HTTP, JMS, JCA etc. > One question, does your integration is going to leverage some of > the capabilities of JSR 181 for JEE based endpoints along with JAX- > WS 2.0 etc. I'd recommend doing so - its what we did on ServiceMix too. I'd also recommend an SCA component as well; On ServiceMix we have a variety of different JBI binding components for different SOAP stacks and integration technologies such as a JSR 181 binding component, an SCA/ Tuscany binding component, a SOAP stack with WS-A support, pure JMS, pure HTTP etc. > My feeling would be to get started with the integration based on > current runtime making JSE 1.5 as requirement for enabling Celtix. That's your call on the Celtix team as to what dependencies you want to use; though be aware that AFAIK we can only currently integrate Java 1.4 components into the certified build of Geronimo; I'm not sure if we can do a distribution of Geronimo which is not J2EE certified; so any 1.5 dependent components might have to be left out; but then you could host your celtix components on the celtix website. As as aside we've been working with retrotransformer lately - with help from folks on the JAXB2 team and retrotransformer team - we've managed to get retrotransformer to create 1.4 compliant bytecode that uses JAXB2 RI. So there's a chance you could still work around the 1.5 issue.... http://radio.weblogs.com/0112098/2005/12/29.html#a546 FWIW there's a maven2 retrotranslator plugin James ------- http://radio.weblogs.com/0112098/
