             Summary: Transformer support in tooling
                 Key: SWITCHYARD-815
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SWITCHYARD-815
             Project: SwitchYard
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: tooling
    Affects Versions: 0.5
            Reporter: Keith Babo


This is an umbrella JIRA for various transformer-related features.  We need to add the following capabilities related to transformers for our tooling:

1) Create a new transformer.  There are multiple options (Java, JSON, XSLT, Smooks, JAXB).  Each one will result in config and additional artifacts being generated (e.g. an empty XSL transform).  I suggest we start with Java as the first option, which would be a Java class with an @Transformer annotation.

2) Detect which types need to be transformed.  This is more advanced and can take different forms.  Maybe this is just a list of data types when creating a new transformer.  Or maybe it's a dynamic hash of from/to types that need to be satisfied for the entire set of services.  This information would be culled from the service and reference interface definitions and then presented to the user as a list or maybe as warning icons on the edges between service and reference nodes.
