How to expose EJB services as web-services?

Hi,

Could someone elaborate on how best to use mule with web-services?

Basically, we have implemented several entity-centric service for storing business data. These services are implemented using EJB3 entity beans, persisted using JPA.
We would now like to expose these entity-centric services to be used by front-end applications and by more high-level task services.

What is the best way to do this?

Should we expose the EJB entities (POJOs) via a SLSB facade to Mule and let Mule map them to the canonical data format (XML) before exposing them as web-services or should we add a service layer to our entity services and expose them as web-services directly within the app server? And in that case, should we use Mule to proxy these services?

Thanks,
Stikkos
