Hi I'm new to the list, and have question about the difference between ServiceMix and Synapse, please let me know if I'm asking the qustion on the wrong list.
I know this question probably has already been asked, but my question is regarding this: http://servicemix.org/How+does+ServiceMix+compare+to+Synapse More specifically, the paragraphs: "...Building an SOA on Apache Synapse would presume that all exchanges in the SOA would be Web Service exchanges based on SOAP, that the management of the exchanges would be invoked exclusively by means of WS-*, and that the underlying SOAP technology at each brokered endpoint would be Apache Axis2. ServiceMix is a full ESB that can work with many different SOAP Stacks such as Axis, WSIF, XFire, ActiveSOAP and JAX-WS...." I'm abit confused by the statement "at each brokered endpoint would be Apache Axis2". First, is this statement correct? If it is, why would this be the case? If Synapse acts as a broker that relies on the WS-* in the SOAP header, then shouldn't any other technology (like .NET) that has the same ability be able to send/receive messages with Synapse?
