Web Services as JBI Service Providers

By default, Application Server exposes web services as Java Business Integration (JBI) service providers for Open Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). Afterwards, flexible protocol binding and the components in the ESB can directly communicate with Java EE applications, using, for example, JMS.

You can disable this feature by using asadmin to set the endpoint's jbi-enabled property to false. For example, to deactivate HelloImpl from the JBI environment, use the commands:

asadmin configure-webservice-management server_HelloImpl#HelloImpl 
asadmin set server.applications.web-module.server_HelloImpl.webservice-endpoint.HelloImpl.jbi-enabled=false

Open ESB implements an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) runtime with sample service engines and binding components. Open ESB enables you to create composite applications by loosely coupling enterprise applications and web services. Additionally, you can easily recompose such composite applications, realizing the benefits of a true service oriented architecture (SOA). The core of the Open ESB SDK is based on Java Business Integration (JBI) technology, defined in the JSR 208 specification.
