Welcome to the Community Wiki for Java Business Integration (JBI), JBI Component Development, and Open ESB

Java Business Integration (JBI) is a Java standard (JSR 208) for structuring business integration systems along SOA lines. It defines an environment for plug-in components that interact using a services model based directly on WSDL 2.0.

Project Open ESB is an open source community comprising of Users, Developers, Partners, and Evangelists creating a next generation SOA based Integration Platform using Java Business Integration. It is part of a collection of Open Source Middleware Communities; all these communities are intended to work well together but, in the usual Open Source tradition, we encourage pluggability and reuse across many other communities and projects

Project Open JBI Components is an open source community for the development of components that are compliant to JBI technology. These components are complex service engines like BPEL, IEP, ETL etc. or simple bindings like File or more conventional adapters like SAP or HL7. You can use the components available here, as well as contribute your own stuff.

We are also establishing a new community and project called GlassFishESB. Check it out. With this project, we are launching Open ESB v3 with Project Fuji. These new projects are designed to take advantage of the powerful combination of JBI and OSGi.

This Wiki is a valuable informational resource addressing the requirements of this broad community. The wiki is open for reading to all. Contributors to existing or new wiki topics need to have a registered user id.
