Mule and JBI

After careful consideration of the JBI implementation th Mule team decided that the JBI spec really only covered a sub-set of use-cases that are required when developing an SOA or integration solution. Essentially, the JBI sec if a specification written by vendors for vendors. Mule's whole approach is the exact opposite - it's an SOA/integration platform written for developers by developers.

Note that there is a new JBI-2 effort that has recently started. This approach seems to be recognising that POJO services are the right way to go (you saw it here first ) so we think we made the right choice not to adopt JBI. Also, there seems to have been very little uptake of the specification since it was launched in 2005.
