I have updated JBI CDK modules in the latest open-esb installer (https://open-esb.dev.java.net/Downloads_OpenESB_Addons_NB6.html) which now provide both runtime and design time development support for both Binding Components(BC) and Service Engines(SE). There is still some work in progress for JBI CDK to improve the existing features and develop new features to provide more help on the component development process and yes, documentation on how to use these tools will be very helpful :-). I will post videos and documentation on these tools in the near future.

Here is the summary of changes

• New component code  - The component code generated for BC or SE by the project wizard is now capable of handling the wsdl 1.1 based deployments. The binding code further shows the processing of the wsdl 1.1 extensions using which a binding component can configure the services it provides and consumes. If you go through the code  you will find answers to the following :-)
• Component lifecycle code
• How to handle installation lifecycle
• How to handle component lifecycle
• WSDL 1.1 based deployment code (service unit mgmt)
• How to read service definitions from wsdl files
• How to read service configuration from wsdl extension elements
• How to use jbi wrapper to wrap wsdl 1.1 messages
• How to denormalize, normalize  concrete (protocol specific) messages
• How to handle message exchange events
• Testing code
  
• How to configure Service assembly artifacts ( jbi.xml )
• How to configure service unit artifacts ( jbi.xml, .wsdl, ...)
• How to build service units and service assembly
• How to test the message exchange using external client
• Added new user library to include wsdl1.6.2 library in the component project for handling wsdl1.1 processing in the component code.
• Updated the BC design time plugin generation wizard which now generates generates all the necessary artifacts required to represent the BC design time in composite app project, wsdl editor, wsdl wizard and CASA editor.  Note that there is no tool to regenerate these artifacts with extension schema changes and component description changes and developer can manually add these to each artifact. We are planing to provide the tool that can regenerate these artifacts.
  
• Netbeans module project artifacts
• Project meta-data and  module dependencies configuration
• META-INF/services configuration for lookups
• CompApp hooks in layer.xml for component configuration.
  
• WSDL extension schema configuration
• Create wsdl extension schema file
• WSDL wizard artifacts
• WSDL templates with default extension configuration
• WSDL editor artifacts
• layer.xml configuration for wsdl extension elements
• wsdl extension validator model
• Added SE design time plugin generation wizard - this wizard generates Netbeans module development project which will have code for jbi module project (netbeans ant based project system) required to participate in the composite application project to create and build the service unit archive file targeted to a service engine. The jbi module project code is a netbeans ant based project in the IDE with the required hooks to participate in the composite application project system. To understand the code one should have  understanding of the Netbeans Ant based project system and how it works in the IDE environment. For more details about the Netbeans Ant based project system see  http://projects.netbeans.org/buildsys/howto.html and http://projects.netbeans.org/buildsys/design.html
