Many users are interested in developing their own form of gateway and potentially a native listener.  There are at least five levels/flavors for this sort of documentation (and there may be others):
1) The proper use of the ServiceInvoker both async & sync and the impact of security, transactions, exception handling, etc. The concept here is that the user provides a Java library that allows it to receive events/requests over their transport/protocol of choice and then using SI to bundle up the data as an ESB Message and pushing into the ESB.
2) The creation of a gateway provider that can be declared in the jboss-esb.xml
3) The creation of a native listener provider that can be declared in the jboss-esb.xml
4) How to build my own JCA Inflow adapter
5) How to build my own Notifier for the outbound side

My nomenclature might be a little bit off here and I trust you will correct me with comments to this jira.
Comment 1 Mark Little 2008-12-22 04:48:33 UTC 
Tom Fennelly recently made some docs updates for this. Let's create specific issues to improve that if necessary.
Comment 2 Kevin Conner 2009-01-02 10:52:49 UTC 
Tom has only documented the existing approaches, scheduled and scripting IIRC.  There is nothing, yet, about adding a new gateway into the ESB.

We need to extend the current wiki docs to show how to add a new gateway and describe the lifecycle/resource management.
