Extend HTTP Endpoint

[Doug Fischer <dg...@dfischer.com>]

I would like to extend the HTTP component in order to make a binding
component for a protocol that I need to implement.  What I have is an xml
protocol that I need to support called SOS.  What I need is an HTTP port
open that will accept this type of xml message, do something with it and
then push it to the bus.  My thought was that I could extend the HTTP
component and create an SOS component.  After looking though the HTTP
component code it looks like I should be able to just extend the Consumer /
Provider Processors to do what I want.  Is this true?  What else to I need
to extend in order to allow me to configure this binding component like:

<sos:endpoint>...</sos:endpoint>

In an xbean configuration file?

Does this sound like the correct way to implement this?

Thanks,
Doug
