[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss ESB] - Re: Http Gateway - requirements please...

[Kevin.Conner@jboss.com]

It is now time to revisit this work so we need to nail down the requirements.  These are the requirements as I see them.

The purpose of this work is to provide a gateway into the ESB using http as the transport mechanism.

We are not writing extensible frameworks to support any transport but, as the current implementation choice is to use a servlet, we should be modifying the current EBWS codebase to share some of the implementation details.  We should be deploying a single war file which should have its urls divided into ebws and http sections (perhaps /ebws/* and /http/* or more suitable)

All configuration must be done from within the jboss-esb.xml file, with any deployment artifacts (for example web.xml) being generated solely by the ESB.  The HTTP gateway functionality must include the following

- Configurable support for the following verbs: DELETE, HEAD, GET, POST, PUT and automatic support for OPTIONS

- security, covering the following: authentication, transport guarantees, security constraints
- security integrating with Daniel's work

- url patterns

- Configurable synchronous/asynchronous behaviour (mep, timeout, async response)

- No specific servlet integration (e.g. filters/listeners)

There will probably be areas of this that needs to be fleshed out further, but this should provide the integration we need without exposing the specific details of the implementation.
