[Mark Little (JIRA)]

    [ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBESB-181?page=comments#action_12344687 ] 
            
Mark Little commented on JBESB-181:
-----------------------------------

One possible modification that might clarify things would be to rename

public static final String CURRENT_OBJECT="org.jboss.soa.esb.actions.current.object";

to something like

public static final String PROCESSING_ELEMENT ="org.jboss.soa.esb.actions.processingElement";

or

public static final String PROCESSING_ENTRY ="org.jboss.soa.esb.actions.processingEntry";

> ActionProcessors need to call "Message.getBody().get(CURRENT_OBJECT)" in order to access the "current" body Object.  Is this not a little obscure?  Would it not be more convenient/intuitive if the "current" object could be accessed via something like "Message.getBody().getCurrent()" - it could wrap "Message.getBody().get(CURRENT_OBJECT)" in the Body impl.
> Also, should CURRENT_OBJECT be defined on the ActionProcessor or Body type?  It's currently defined in ActionProcessor?  Of course this would mean that the current "Message.getBody().get(CURRENT_OBJECT)" calls would all need to be modified to "Message.getBody().get(Body.CURRENT_OBJECT)", but I'd think that is clearer anyway.
> Just some usability thoughts - feel free to delete the issus!
