What does Open ESB offer?
Open ESB offers a core runtime which implements a standards-based, service oriented architecture (SOA) paradigm for providing ESB capabilities, based on the [JBI specification|http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=208]. Open ESB provides the ability to plug in a number of JBI components which manage the runtime connectivity and integration with external systems and expose them as services. This allows the developer to write mediation, routing, transformation and orchestration logic using a standard SOA-based approach to integration, thus leveraging existing skill sets. The Open ESB runtime can [run in a bare JVM|http://wiki.open-esb.java.net/Wiki.jsp?page=OpenESBJavaSE] or can be embedded inside a Java EE application server such as [GlassFish|https://glassfish.dev.java.net/] which exposes ESB capabilities in an efficient manner to developers writing servlets, EJBs and web services using the Java EE service engine. Using GlassFish also provides the ability to secure and configure the desired
