SEAM and JBoss ESB

[mikeeprice]

So if I were using SEAM and building an SOA type system would I need to use something like JBoss ESB or is the ESB type of functionality part of SEAM. It appears that there is some overlap there. Maybe there is the matter of scaling where ESB would facilitate building a larger scale system and distributing things over multiple servers. I am trying to better understand how the different technologies fit together.

Currently Seam does not have any WS support. However, Seam/WS is coming very soon, and will be designed to work elegantly with JBoss ESB. The philosophy of Seam is not not re-build functionality when we can instead re-use.

I'm glad to hear that :) Can you please give us a rough estimate when Seam with WS support will ship and whether it will support messaging over WS or not. Thanks in advance.
