HTTP Binding Example

The following procedure describes how to run the Http HTTP Binding example and provides details regarding what it does. For information on the business use case, please refer to: Use Case for Http HTTP Binding.

The Http HTTP Binding example illustrates:

• use of declarative programming
• how to perform Http binding in ServiceMix

The source code for the Http HTTP Binding example is located in the ServiceMix installation directory under the examples\http-binding directory in the servicemix.xml file. It is recommended that you refer to the source code while reading this document.

This example shows how to use the HTTP bindings to handle a simple http post.

HTTP Binding Example

1. From a command shell, go to the Http HTTP Binding example directory:

   Code Block
   cd [servicemix_install_dir]\examples\http-binding

   where servicemix_install_dir is the directory in which ServiceMix was installed.
2. Then type:

   Code Block
   [servicemix_install_dir]\bin\servicemix servicemix.xml

3. To start sending and receiving of messages from the Http server, send an initial message. To do this, compile and run a simple Http client. The client is built and run from source code using Ant. Execute Ant from the Http HTTP Binding directory: servicemix_install_dir\examples\http-binding. To run the Http client type:
   

   Code Block
   ant

   
   Ant will compile and run the simple Http client, HttpClient, which performs a simple post on the Http Server into the ServiceMix container before returning the results to the console.
