Autogeneration of jbossesb-listener.xml and jbossesb-gateway

[ajaymenon.k]

How are the jbossesb-listener.xml and jbossesb-gateway.xml files autogenerated ? Which class handles the logic for this autogeneration ??
Why is it autogenerated ? What all processes reads these files ?

org.jboss.soa.esb.listeners.config.Generator is the class which handles this (along with its associated mappers).

The reason for this is that the original codebase consisted of two configuration files, one for gateways and a second for listeners. Administering these files, and keeping them consistent, proved to be an error prone process.

To simplify matters the configuration was changed into a single file but we had to keep the internal notion of two configurations to prevent existing code from breaking.
