SAP and Other Application Connectivity

Does JBoss ESB provide adapters to connect specifically to SAQP or other application platforms?

Not out of the box. I believe that some users have done so (with SAP) but not contributed the code back to us. If you're interested in doing that, it would benefit the entire community.

This is an area where JBoss falls down in comparison to its commercial cousins. Having this capability would go a long way towards making JBoss a bigger enterprise player, especially for those organizations looking to buy not build.

Not quite. We don't have them in open source (yet), but we have formed partnerships (http://www.informationbuilders.com/cgi-shell/press/intpr/f_intpr.pl?intpr_code=02_12_08_JBoss) that do. In fact, iWay offers far more than any other open source alternative and most of the closed source equivalents. Give it a try if you can.

Plus of course as I mentioned before, get involved and contribute :-) We're a very open community and would welcome help.
