Yep, that's the basic idea. Listeners listen for messages provided by a bus.
There's more on this in the configuration section of the programmers guide.

You're dead right there. Some of the listener configurations are a bit messed up.
I've actually logged JIRA issues for this and I think the SQL based configs were in
that.

Not sure about the poll-frequency-seconds and composer-class properties not being
attributes (revert to your previous comment), but I can guess that the
"composer-process" one was left as a property simply because it was considered
to be a bad idea for the same reasons you outlined at the top i.e. that composition should
be done based on an interface and therefore no need to define process methods.
