[ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBESB-2270?page=com.atlassian.jira.plu... ] Richard Burton commented on JBESB-2270: --------------------------------------- Kevin, I recently started to dig deep into the code base in an effort to create some improvements and then I came across this issue. There's a few items I believe would greatly improve the usability of JBoss's ESB which I've listed below (A locally I'm working on patches which I'll send over). An ActionPipelineProcessor should be configured by default via the invocation of the setter methods without having the developer implement BeanConfiguredAction. Required attributes could be identified by using Annotations. e.g., @Required. Defaulting to this behavior will greatly improve the tooling support from within Eclipse, since now reflection can be used to discover what attributes are configurable and which ones are required dynamically. Secondly, it prevents the need for a constructor that accepts ConfigTree to pull the various attributes need for the Action. An abstraction for the construction of the ActionPipelineProcessors should be created within the engine itself. There's a fairly strong dependency on ActionProcessorMethodInfo and the various static methods for the construction of ActionPipelineProcessors, which if abstracted would allow better control and flexibility over the ActionPipelineProcessor creation. I would love to greatly improve upon the Spring integration. Lastly, I have create a pom to build the Rosetta ESB project using Maven. The XMLBeans creates the various generated classes as well and I've identified (but I need to verify) all of the dependency versions used in the project. There's only JARs which I've referenced using the systemPath since those jars are no where to be found in the Maven Central Repository. e.g., FTP Server 1.0 incubator for Apache which is used for test cases only. I strongly recommend building the project using Maven since this will ease the building of the various *.esb and *.sar projects developed those using Maven. If you're interested in any of the patches I am working on, please feel free to contact me. Richard L.
