I feel like I'm missing something because: If I'm using J/JS internally to do the core transport work and hide it behind a bunch of language neutral interfaces that pass around, for example, XML documents between applications, does it matter anymore? If I implement my ESB at it's core in 'C', don't I face the same kinds of issues? Surely I'd be exposing my ESB as a bunch of web services or similar and I'd be doing that so as to keep my ESB accessible from all platforms and prevent them from being aware of how my ESB is implemented? Think I must be mis-understanding you, Dan. > On 3/13/06, *Gregg Wonderly* <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> > wrote: > > Anne Thomas Manes wrote: > > An ESB should support interactions using J/JS-like technologies, > but I would > > not recommend building an infrastructure that uses J/JS as its core > > foundation.
