Starter guide for Apache ServiceMix

Question

What is the definitive guide to start with Apache ServiceMix? The howto's and guides on the website are way too complicate for a clean start.

Answer 1

I am still learning Apache ServiceMix myself. ESB's in generally are pretty complicated. The best book I found is "Open-Source ESBs in Action" published by Manning. It runs MVN/ANT to setup your environment and walks you through with some pretty basic examples. Let me know how you like it.

Answer 2

I like the six page ref card at DZone which can be found here. There's a lot of information packed on it.

You can read it online, or have a download link emailed to you.

Good luck!
