Sun GlassFish Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) delivers a lightweight and agile ESB platform that packages the innovation happening with Project OpenESB into a commercially supported, enterprise-class platform. Version 2.1 is the latest release. Sun does offer commercial support for this new version that offers the following new features and components:

1) Support for GlassFish clustering in all components

2) Intelligent Event Processor (IEP) Service Engine:

• Enables complex event processing (CEP) and event stream processing (ESP) using the Continuous Query Language (CQL).

3) Scheduler Binding Component

• Provides scheduling capabilities for initiating JBI services and allows you to schedule triggers to launch other JBI components.

4) New Systems Support:

• NetBeans IDE 6.5
• GlassFish Enterprise Server 2.1
• OpenSolaris 2008.11
