Hit send to soon. Also wanted to add that the JBoss ESB EditorSmooks action configuration is out-of-date. Smooks Transformer Action should really be Smooks Action and the class should be org.jboss.soa.esb.smooks.SmooksAction. Also there are additional properties that could be configured (e.g., resultType and javaResultBeanId) and the From Type and To Type under Advanced are out-of-date as well.

I have been using prior release of jboss tools for the past several weeks and have had good success using the jboss-esb config editor. I actually downloaded CR2 today, but had a couple issues: 1) I tried to use the Smooks Config Editor to configure a Java to XML transformation. I could not use the Graph view to connect the lines. So I edited the Source by hand, and then the Graph view correctly displayed the lines. 2) It is not clear how to create an esb archive and deploy it to jbossesb. Is this functionality supported in this release? Any documentation?

I should have prefaced the original message with "Please feel free to forward to anyone else (internal to RH/JB or under the appropriate agreements for this sort of internal information) who you might think would be interested in testing." If you do, please let me know, so I can add them into the list of people receiving these email updates. 2. Related to (1): Why not just use a mailing list like soa-tools? There are a couple of reasons: (a) There is no single list, or small set of lists, that covers everyone involved (and, no, I am not sending this request to thecore ;) ), (b) this is a short term, focused request, (c) list requests are like talking to a stadium of people, whereas this subset shows that I am talking to *you* :) 3. (Thanks, Len and Trev!) For the SOA-P download please use: http://jawa05.englab.brq.redhat.com/released/soa-p-4.3.0.GA/ 4. (Thanks, Max, Len, and Jeff!) Ignore the "all plug-ins" zips for the tooling, and use the installer jar instead. You might find that your browser attempts to open this jar directly instead of downloading it, in which case you'll need to do a "save as" on the installer jar. Once downloaded, from the command line issue "java -jar ...." with the jar name to start the installer. 5. If you test but don't find any problems, still please drop an email to Max and I saying that you've tried. Since "no response" does not mean "tried it and found no problems to report," these notes will help Max and I determine the test coverage in place for this combination. 6. Particular importance of this JBDS release: This is the release that we'll take to EclipseCon in March, and we'd like to push it hard, especially in the SOA area. We just need to be sure that what we push doesn't fall over. :) Thanks again!
