Great idea conrad.
Since Celtix is an ESB, integrating it into a JEE container would =
provide support for all of the ESB capabilities for all of J2EE based =
endpoints and not just webservices capabilities. This can even provide =
support for multi transport and multi binding capabilities to J2EE =
endpoints including JMS, CORBA etc.

One question, does your integration is going to leverage some of the =
capabilities of JSR 181 for JEE based endpoints along with JAX-WS 2.0 =
etc.

My feeling would be to get started with the integration based on current =
runtime making JSE 1.5 as requirement for enabling Celtix.

cheers,
