I know similar questions have been asked before but either questions did not cover my concerns or the responses were not clear enough. Let me know if this should be posted in some other forum. I did not post in Red Hat forum intentionally though. Here is the question:
I am in process of upgrading to latest SM. We earlier went with the Fusesource version of SM as we liked the support behind it even though we never required it. Now with RH in the picture, upgrade is not that straightforward. We now have to choose between Fabric 8 vs SM 5 vs Jboss Fuse. Our requirement is: Distributed KARAF containers which can talk Camel, Spring DM, CXF and have support for ActiveMQ. * SM fits the bill perfectly but then I am unable to add fabric to the latest SM version (5.1.0.). I am not sure If I am missing anything by not being able to add Fabric * Fabric 8 to me seems overkill as we are not planning to provision using Hawtio. We are also not planning to deploy other than KARAF. Cloud support is a future thing for at this point for us. We want to base our application on OSGI+Spring support. Additionally vanilla Fabric 8 does not work; you have to configure Fabric to behave like SM (Camel+ActiveMQ+CXF). On top of everything the production release of Fabric 8 is not out yet * Jboss Fuse comes with subscription fee. It is very similar to deploying on SM. I am not sure whether Fabric features give us any more value than what cellar can give on SM given that we are not planning to use Hawtio To me looks like sticking to SM + Cellar is way forward. Also I read some blogs from guys who worked on SM earlier saying that SM is dead. I find completely opposite. I find quite a few recent releases of SM. I have sense that some people are intentionally trying to kill SM brand but I am not sure. Look forward to what others have to say about it. -- View this message in context: http://servicemix.396122.n5.nabble.com/Servicemix-5-and-cellar-or-Jboss-Fuse-and-Fabric-tp5721456.html Sent from the ServiceMix - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
