Build ServiceMix using Maven 1.0.2 or greater and Java 5.

Code Block

The recommended method of building ServiceMix is the following:
cd [servicemix_install_dir]
  where [servicemix_install_dir] is the directory in which ServiceMix was installed.
maven 

If the above build fails on some tests, type the following:
cd [servicemix_install_dir]
maven install -Dmaven.test.skip=true

Info

title	ServiceMix on Java 1.4

Some modules can be built on Java 1.4. To compile, run the following command
maven -Dservicemix.jdk14=true install

Start ServiceMix from the target directory, for example:

Code Block
cd [servicemix_install_dir]\servicemix-assembly\target\servicemix-3.0-SNAPSHOT\bin\servicemix-3.0-SNAPSHOT\bin servicemix

Proceed to the #Testing the Installation section.

Release

This procedure explains how to download and install the latest developers' snapshot. NoteNOTE: ServiceMix can be run on a Java 1.4.x system, however, Java 5 is required to compile/build ServiceMix.

From a browser, navigate to www.servicemix.org.
Click the Download link in the navigation pane (the left pane).
Click the "Current development SNAPSHOT release" link.
Select the version of ServiceMix to download (if necessary, scroll down to see the ServiceMix snapshots).
Extract the files from the zip ZIP file into a directory of your choice.
If a binary snapshot was downloaded proceed to the #Starting ServiceMix section of this document.
If a source snapshot was downloaded perform step 6 and step 7 of the #Windows Source Installation procedure.
Following start-up, proceed to the #Testing the Installation section.

...

Download the ServiceMix gzip file to the Unix machine, either using a browser or using a tool, i.e., wget, scp, ftp, etc.

Code Block

If the Unix machine has a browser:

a. Navigate to [www.servicemix.org|http://www.servicemix.org].
b. Click the "Download" link in the navigation pane (the left pane).
c. Click the "ServiceMix 3.x Release" link under the "Latest Releases" section. This brings up a new page.
d. Under the "Download Here" section, select the desired distribution (if necessary,
scroll down to see the "Download Here" section). For a binary Unix distribution, the filename
will be similar to: servicemix-x.x.x.tar.gz.

OR

If the Unix machine does NOT have a browser, tools such as wget, scp, or ftp can be used to download the ServiceMix distribution.
It is beyond the scope of this document to explain the use of those tools. For convenience an example is provided below using
a Windows machine (that has a browser) and a Unix machine with "wget" installed on it.
Note*NOTE:* There are several alternative ways to perform this type of installation.

a. Obtain the link to the ServiceMix distribution file. On the Windows machine with a browser, navigate to [www.servicemix.org|http://www.servicemix.org].
b. Click the "Download" link in the left navigation pane.
c. Click the "ServiceMix 3.x Release" link under the "Latest Releases" section. This brings up a new page.
d. Under the "Download Here" section, roll-over the desired distribution (if necessary, scroll
down to see the "Download Here" section). For a binary Unix distribution the filename will be
similar to: servicemix-x.x.x.tar.gz.
e. Right-click on the distribution name and "Copy Shortcut."
f. On the Unix machine, change to the directory in which ServiceMix will be installed, e.g., /usr/local.
f. Download the ServiceMix distribution to the Unix machine using the "wget" tool. For example, type "wget" followed by the saved shortcut:

      wget http://dist.codehaus.org/servicemix/distributions/servicemix-3.0.x.tar.gz

Extract the files from the gzip file into a directory of your choice. For example:
Code Block
gunzip servicemix-x.x.x.tar.gz tar xvf servicemix-x.x.x.tar
If the servicemix start-up script is not executableexecuted, change its permisssions. The servicemix script is located in the bin directory. For example:
Code Block
cd [servicemix_install_dir]/bin where [servicemix_install_dir] is the directory in which ServiceMix was installed. chmod 755 servicemix
Proceed to the #Starting ServiceMix section of this document.
Following start-up, go to the #Testing the Installation section.

...

This procedure explains how to download and install the source distribution on a Unix system. This procedure assumes the Unix machine has a browser. Please see the previous section #Unix Binary Installation section for ideas on how to install ServiceMix without a browser. NoteNOTE: ServiceMix can be run on a Java 1.4.x system, however, Java 5 is required to compile/build ServiceMix.

From a browser, navigate to www.servicemix.org.
Click the "Download" link in the navigation pane (the left pane).
Click the "ServiceMix 3.x Release" link under the "Latest Releases" section. This brings up a new page.
Under the "Download Here" section, select the desired distribution (if necessary, scroll down to see the "Download Here" section).
For a source distribution, the filename will be similar to: servicemix-x.x-src.tar.gz.
Extract the files from the zip ZIP file into a directory of your choice. For example:
Code Block
gunzip servicemix.x.x-src.tar.gz tar xvf servicemix.x-src.tar

Build ServiceMix using Maven 1.0.2 or greater and Java 5:

Code Block

The preferred method of building ServiceMix is the following:
cd [servicemix_install_dir]
  where [servicemix_install_dir] is the directory in which ServiceMix was installed.
maven clean test

If the above build fails on some tests, do the following:
cd [servicemix_install_dir]
maven m:clean
maven -Dmaven.test.skip=true

If the servicemix startup start-up script is not executableexecuted, change it's its permissions. For example:
Code Block
cd [servicemix_install_dir]/assembly/target/servicemix-3.x/bin/servicemix-3.x/bin chmod 755 servicemix

Start ServiceMix from the target directory, for example:

Code Block
cd [servicemix_install_dir]/servicemix-assembly/target/servicemix-3.0-SNAPSHOT/bin/servicemix-3.0-SNAPSHOT/bin servicemix

Proceed to #Testing the Installation section.

Release

This procedure explains how to download and install the latest developers' snapshot. NoteNOTE: ServiceMix can be run on a Java 1.4.x system, however, Java 5 is required to compile/build ServiceMix.

From a browser, navigate to www.servicemix.org.
Click the Download link in the navigation pane (the left pane).
Click the "Current development SNAPSHOT release" link.
Select the version of ServiceMix to download (you may have to scroll down to see the ServiceMix snapshots). The filename will be similar to: servicemix-x.x.x-tar.gz or servicemix-x.x.x-src.tar.gz.

Extract the files from the gzip file into a directory of your choice. For example:

Code Block
For a binary developer's snapshot: gunzip servicemix-x.x-x.tar.gz tar xvf servicemix-x.x.x.tar For a source developer's snapshot: gunzip servicemix-x.x.x-src.tar.gz tar xvf servicemix-x.x.x-src.tar

If a binary snapshot was downloaded the servicemix script may need its permissions changed to make it executable:
Code Block
cd [servicemix_install_dir]/bin where [servicemix_install_dir] is the directory in which ServiceMix was installed. chmod 755 servicemix
For a binary snapshot, proceed to the #Starting ServiceMix section of this document.
If a source snapshot was downloaded perform steps 6 - 8 of the #Unix Source Installation procedure.
Proceed to the #Testing the Installation section.

The If ServiceMix is up and running without problems, the Window's console window or the Unix command shell will display something similar to the following log line if ServiceMix is up and running without any problems:

Code Block
INFO - JBIContainer.init(421) \| ServiceMix JBI Container (http://servicemix.org/) name: defaultJBI running version: 3.0-SNAPSHOT

...

If ServiceMix was started in the background on Unix, the process can be killed, for examplewith the following:

Code Block
ps -ef\|grep servicemix kill [PID] where [PID] is the process id of the servicemix process.

...

After the installation, ServiceMix is running with a basic configuration, but no components. For details on configuring options, please see refer to the Configuration section.
