Mule vs JBoss ESB

[kumarmaheswaran]

Can somebody tell me which is best to use Mule or JBoss?.I have got biased results from some posts and blogs.I want the comparison with some recent and new research and analysis with some statistical values,since newly added features from JBoss and Mule are there for each releases. Thanks. Mahes

It really depends on what your use cases are for the ESB. Asking on either forum would give you biased results. Its probably better to do an evaluation based on your own needs.

The book Open Source ESBs in Action (http://www.manning.com/rademakers/) has a section that compares a number of ESBs, including Mule and JBoss ESB. The ESB comparison section is probably worth the cost of the book (some companies pay thousands of dollars for similar studies).
