ServiceMix provides the servicemix-eip component as a standard JBI-compliant component. This provides implementations for many of the patterns discussed in the EAI patterns book. When I first read the EAI patterns book, I was wondering whether we have all these patterns together in some reusable form, other than just patterns and diagrams. But as we all agree, patterns are nuggets of guidelines which we can implement in many ways, using any technology or platform.

In fact, if we look at many MOM for integrations such as Websphere MQ, Microsoft Biztalk, TIBCO, Webmethods, and Microsoft MQ, they already provide many of these patterns at the framework-level. Perhaps, we didn't notice them as patterns in the first go, but surely as experience builds up we cannot miss a repeated way of addressing a problem...
