I am currently trying to configure my JBoss AS5 server with the IBM Websphere MQ JCA adapter so that my JBoss deployed JMS producer/consumer components can interact with legacy MOM destinations hosted by Websphere MQ.

I am finding that the JBoss documented process for this is non-trivial (http://www.jboss.org/community/wiki/UsingWebSphereMQSeriesWithJBossASPart4).

Is there any prospect that what I am trying to do can be done more easily via JBoss ESB's participation?

Or at some level, even with ESB, will I necessarily have to do the (difficult) config work re: a JBoss named Resource ConnectionFactory that references the IBM JCA adapter and AdminObject-ds.xml plumbing to get to MQ?

Beyond just reading the "JBossESB Getting Started" page, I have no familiarity with JBossESB.
