Agreed Claus, For example, concerning the servicemix-exec component, I provided the WSDL in the component documentation: http://servicemix.apache.org/servicemix-exec.html
By the way, I can add a new page in the user guide concerning architecture and component communication: http://servicemix.apache.org/users-guide.html Remember that I begun a documentation migration to DocBook to provide a more pro one: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/servicemix/sandbox/jbonofre/documentation/ Regards JB Claus Ibsen wrote: > Hi > > Looks like you should add this to a FAQ.
