FYI, the servicemix-bean component can act as a complete replacement of the lightweight components / lightweight container, while being a compliant SE. I have began to document it: http://cwiki.apache.org/SM/servicemix-bean.html
The possibilities of this component are endless. Especially if we can find a way to use the concept of BeanFlow there (or maybe something alike with the use of annotations) ... On 3/1/07, Terry Cox <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
> What are the advantages of using 'real' components? It is very simple to build a single business story in a LW manner, however there are constraints upon the way you can deploy LW components. Dependencies of LW components must be managed manually and all component definitions are in the same servicemix.xml file. Once you start to reach an environment where you have multiple, independent business stories , each deployed with their own lifecycle, a mechanism is required to simplify deployment and management. Full components can be deployed using the JBI Service Unit / Service Assembly pattern and each SA can be managed independently. -- Terry Cox Meta-Concepts Ltd
