Service configuration improvements

• The infrastructure is now in place to simplify service configuration.

Component pluggability (simplify the addition of new service types)

• A new infrastructure for dynamically adding support for new service types is now in place. All existing service types have been migrated to this new architecture, and the Web UI and NetBeans IDE support it.

Aspects / Interceptors

• Deprecated Aspect Framework has been removed
• Support for dynamic creation of aspects from properties defined in any bundle, using properties defined in the META-INF/aspects/ or META-INF/aspects/aspect-type folder

Improved Tooling

• Web UI
  • Support for pluggable service descriptors
  • First phase of round-tripping support. The IFL field in the web tooling is now editable. The edit results are merged into the message flow.
  • Various bug fixes
• NetBeans IDE
  • Support for pluggable service descriptors
  • New GUI to view/edit the configuration properties of a service
  • Added editor support for new IFL constructs:
    • service grouping
    • "calls" keyword
    • operation name on service specification
    • new "tee" syntax for configuration properties
  • Added support for generating service artifacts after service configuration changes
