JBoss support for Enterprise Service Bus

[Harsha Yadalam]

Hello Authors,

I have been trying out ESB for the past week on tomcat. I wanted to know if you have any advantages in using JBoss for ESB rather than tomcat. Also, do you discuss about ESB in your book ?

Thanks with Regards,

We don't cover ESB in our book.

ESB looks interesting, but we haven't tried it yet. If ESB works well in a Tomcat environment and you don't have needs for JMS or transactions, then there's no need to move up to JBoss. I use JBoss for JMS, MDBs, and Container-Managed Transactions within Stateless Session Beans.
