What do you mean exactly by logical and physical ?
Let's take the example of jms : when deploy a wsdl with the appropriate
binding information,
the endpoints can be either consumer endpoint or provider endpoint, in
the jbi meaning.
A consumer endpoint will receive requests from the external world and
route them in the NMR.
A provider endpoint will receive requests from the NMR and route them to
the external world.
For a provider endpoint, a jbi endpoint will be activated with a service
name and an endpoint name
retrieved from the wsdl. Binding informations are used to determine the
queue / topic to use.
For a consumer endpoint, informations will be retrieved and a jms
consumer will be created.
Currently, the exchanges are routed to the jbi endpoint defined by the
service name and endpoint
name defined in the wsdl. Binding informations are used to determine
the queue / topic to
listen to.
There is no global store of this informations : each binding component
is responsible for mapping
its own protocol specific endpoints to jbi endpoints. However all jbi
endpoints can be accessed
via the jbi api and the wsdl description can be retrieved for each jbi
endpoint.

Guillaume,
thanks for your quick answer !
Have you got any any idea for my last 2 questions concerning :
* The way used to do the mapping logical/physical endpoint ?
* And where this map is stored ?

The new BC will behave as you say.
So this is true for
* servicemix-http
* servicemix-jms
Note that these components are not finished yet, but i am currently
working on it.
When you will deploy a service unit, it contains informations about
the endpoints to create,
either consumer endpoint or provider endpoint.
Depending on the deployment model you will use (wsdl or xml), the
information is extracted
and use to create endpoints.

Hi all,
I just want to be sure of something about BCs.
My understanding is that BCs are "generic". It means the JMS BC is
deployed into SM only once and then if we want to configure
different endpoints (each partner has its own queue/topic for
example) we only have to deploy (JBI deploy) new service assemblies
containing some artifacts...
Can you just confirm this understanding or tell me if I am wrong...
This question comes to me by thinking about JCA which is a special
case as each partner will have its own JCA connector I think, isn't
it ?
I have another question concerning endpoints. I just want to know
how the mapping is done between logical endpoints and physical
endpoints.
On the web site, I can read that UDDI is not yet supported so where
are stored these informations ?
Thanks,
Regards,
Charles
