title: Spring Integration as embedded alternative to standalone ESB
body: <p>Does anybody has an experience with <a href="http://springframework.org/spring-integration" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Spring Integration</a> project as embedded ESB?</p>
  
  <p>I'm highly interesting in such use cases as:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Reading files from directory on schedule basis</li>
  <li>Getting data from JDBC data source</li>
  <li>Modularity and possibility to start/stop/redeploy module on the fly (e.g. one module can scan directory on schedule basis, another call query from jdbc  data source etc.)</li>
  <li>repeat/retry policy</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong></p>
  
  <p>I found answers on all my questions except "Getting data from JDBC data source". Is it technically possible?</p>
