Hi No the components / endpoints dont provide meta-data what java types and data formats they support. However we may get there in the longer run. There is a JIRA ticket about this idea. And with the recent component doc enhancements we have an instrument to provide the details. So end users can annotate the endpoints with the details, and then you can get that information at both design time for tooling, and at runtime etc.
