Reference Manual feedback please!

[Mark Fisher]

Spring Integration Community,

We have an open issue for Reference Manual typos to be fixed in 1.0.3:
http://jira.springsource.org/browse/INT-676

Please feel free to add to that!... not only typos but also suggestions for any material that is unclear or lacking sufficient detail. The 1.0.3 release is planned for the end of next week, and we also have plenty of other issues, but we will try to address as much as possible based on comments added to that issue.

I will soon be posting another thread for 2.0 roadmap suggestions - as soon as JIRA is reorganized a bit to reflect our current plan.

Regards,
Mark

"The no-argument send and receive methods block indefinitely. Note however, that calling the no-arg versions of send() and receive() will block indefinitely."

I think you have said the same thing twice. It may be that you have repeated yourself.

It would be great if the reference manual also concentrates on API based usage of spring integration . This would help in dynamic creation of channels and dynamic addition of adapters and their removal.

I see the reference document,
I see javadoc.

But where would I find a complete explanation of all the various tags on things like:

<rmi:inbound-gateway>
<rmi:outbound-gateway>
<jms:inbound-gateway>
<jms:outbound-gateway>
...etc

what is 'expect-reply', what happens if I set it to true/false?
what is 'remote-invocation-executor'..

If it wasn't for my IDE, I wouldn't even know these tags existed...
etc etc...

Hello , I would like to see better explaination of the route from using default directChannels to asychronous messaging.

The manual does tackle the config for each type of channel, but it would benefit from a larger section on tips/why/when etc.

Can you also help with tips for logging/debugging an async system. e.g. are there plugins/tools to show performance of the channels etc.

thanks
Rob

any tips as well on how to use ApplicationEvent?

if springapp services could be managed via JMX?

A pdf version would be good.

An overview of how spring integration compares with other intergration frameworks (or esbs) such as mule or servicemix would be useful.

Detailed documentation on the tags would be useful. If there are annotation versions of the tags, it would be best if the xml tags were documented by reference to the annotation classes as well as comments in an xsd.

In section 7.1 Router Implementations - HeaderValueRouter there is no information about the attribute ignore-channel-name-resolution-failures. The default-output-channel seems to be ignored as long as one doesn't set this attribute to true.

I think the manual could use more detailed information on RMI integration. Specifically, exposing existing services using RMI and consuming an RMI service (i.e. hooking up to existing code.) I think I've finally figured out how to do this, but it took a fair bit of trial and error.

Also, the request-channel/remote-channel semantics for inbound and outbound gateways are a little confusing. It would be nice if they were clarified explicitly in the documentation.

Thanks!
