Integration vs. Applications?

JBI is entirely focused on an API for integreation vendors. Application developers are unlikely to ever use it.
 
Last time I checked, most "enterprise" application development (hell, most application development) has a significant integration component.

If that's really the case, then very few apps should use EJB and most apps should use JBI (unless of course you get your JEE from IBM or BEA).
