Sorry to be a PITA but can someone explain to me the connection
between
a JBI impl and a BPEL engine??
JBI is the JSR approved standard API to integration components and an
ESB container is the standard container model for a BPE; so it makes
sense to work on a BPE in conjunction with a JBI container and
component framework along with the JBI community at Apache
(ServiceMix) to ensure they all work nicely together. I'm sure other
projects can reuse the resulting code; just like I'm sure other
projects can use the JBI container etc. (e.g. the JBI container could
be embedded inside Synapse or Tuscany or even Axis).
Why would this not fit better within that project, just as
Twister was made to become part of that?
Given the completed state of the BPE code and the symbiotic nature of
the JBI project and BPE I don't see a big need to put this BPE within
an incubating umbrella project of other in-development workflow engines.
