JBI Descriptors

The descriptor file (jbi.xml) for Service Assemblies, JBI Components, and Shared Libraries provides the following information:

■Service Assemblies: Lists the Service Units contained in the Service Assembly and the target for each Service Unit. Some Service Units may also show information on connection endpoints.

■JBI Components: Lists the type of the JBI Component (Binding Component or Service Engine), a description of the component, information about relevant classpaths for the component, and the name of any Shared Library upon which it depends.

■Shared Libraries: Lists the name of the shared library, and the names of the archive files (.jar files) or class file subdirectories it contains.
