I hope you have enjoyed this last chapter. The samples demonstrated here, especially the usage of the JMX tool to look into the artifacts inside the bus will be highly useful when you run your own components inside the ServiceMix JBI bus.

If you have gone through all the previous chapters also in this text, by now you should have "hands on" knowledge of what an ESB is and what JBI has to do in defining ESB-based architectures. This will give you an edge over your peers in understanding ESB and in preparing yourselves to leverage ESB to solve your integration problems.

In my entire career I have interacted with a lot of people who talk and write a lot on ESB in white papers, but they never gave me any code to play around with. It is in this context I decided to spend a few chapters on ESB with code. I hope you enjoyed reading just as I enjoyed writing it.
