Hi , thanks for your official announcement of your first draft of the ESB roadmap. It reads quite interesting. Of course I have some questions and comments. ;-) What about the integration of the WSO2 registry and the ESB? I haven't read something about it in your release plan. Nevertheless I have seen some commits in that area. We would be very interested to be able to model the service dependencies (including service versions) as our producers do face some problems in that area. On the other side I'm not sure if the versioning support of the WSO2 registry does offer the same functionality/flexibility one has in using just plain synapse.xml and cvs/subversion or any version control. In order to rollback to an old set of configuration I simply need to execute a script to check out the last version from the repository and restart the cluster. Does the WSO2 registry supports some versioning over the whole content (not only single entries)? Or would that mean to backup a database and do a restore? Will the graceful shutdown support incl. some central storage of all cluster members as well as shell scripts for operational purposes or do we need to write something around the JMX support in order to make this more "admin friendly"? Do you plan to extend the number of mediators shipped with the distribution (including UI support)? For example the Route-Mediator from Ruwan seems to be very flexible and useful. Anyhow I have a question regarding the configuration UI. Is this meant for education purposes only or do you expect any of your users to use this for real life scenarios? I mean it really looks great, but is not very suitable if the number of "object/elements" in each area reaches real life dimensions. Just to give you one example. The UI of the switch mediator wastes a lot of space. On field for the expression and below a simple table with two columns (value and endpoit/sequence) would be more sufficient. Do you plan some improvements in that area or is the UI only meant as an example how one could visualize the config? The point "Better pagination, searching/filtering and ordering of the service, endpoints and sequence list and statistics" gives some hope you are planning enhancements for the 2.0 release. This is one point were I really would love to see some touch-up. Right now it is more likely we will use the plain xml-file approach. Regarding statistics I would see another business requirement. Currently the user has only some kind of "snapshot" statistics. You create a service and the counter starts. As far as I know you are neither able to reset specific endpoints/service, nor to see some trend information (process of time). But this is very important, if you want to make a statement about the usage of your services. Also a last access time (probably easy to add) would help to identify services which are not used and might be taken offline. >From the research area the following points sound interesting: "Raise Alerts from mediation, and provide ability to view Alerts from monitoring console" Does this go into the direction of defining some SLA and reporting violations? This would be a really useful feature. "Enhanced JMX reporting and Cluster management" In that area you seem to be on a good way. Going ahead in that direction would be fine as this is a need probably many customs will express. Keep up the good work guys. I hope some of my feedback is useful to further improve this product! Regards, Eric
