Custom Component Guide [CBESB 1.1]
Use ChainBuilder ESB to create custom Binding Components and Service Engines. Learn how to use the project wizard to build the framework for a new component. The wizard gathers information about the components setup and generates a new Java project. Most of the "plumbing" for the component is generated, leaving the developer to concentrate on the core logic. The project also creates a configuration jar file allowing the new component to be manipulated in the Component Flow Editor.
