Is Tuscany an ESB? Well, it could be ;-) - a funny half-answer.
I can do some of the things that an ESB does. But ESBs usually have
specialized component types that do things like message mapping -
Tuscany only has some of
that the pattern isn't
well defined. Otherwise it would be more or less easy to determine whether
Tuscany fulfills what the pattern is specifying, no?
Somebody told me recently that ESBs are about virtualized service
endpoints. So there's a layer somewhere that can map virtual
endpoints to real endpoints
the (increasingly crowded)
ESB umbrella.
I think ESB should be recognized as an architectural pattern. If there is rather
much confusion about what an ESB is, this may indicate that the pattern isn't
well defined. Otherwise it would be more or less easy to determine whether
Tuscany fulfills what
commitment.
Does anyone else think this is an area worth exploring?

Tuscany is not an ESB offering. My understanding
provide a stepping stone to give
people
exposure to SCA without such a big up front commitment.
