Using a Maven archetype to create the service unit project

ServiceMix provides several Maven archetypes to help you create your projects more rapidly and reliably. We start off by using the servicemix-cxf-bc-service-unit archetype, which is used for creating a servicemix-cxf-bc service unit project.

From SMX_HOME/bin directory, we run this our tutorial project directory where we already have the root pom.xml we run the following command to create a service unit project named :

in MS Windows:

 
smx-arch su cxf-bc

in GNU\Linux:

...

.

...

Maven executes the archetype and reports BUILD SUCCESSFUL when it's done. (For more information run smx-arch help)

...

...

Add this SU project to directory of our project

We copy directory my-cxf-bc-su to directory of our project.(where is parent's pom.xml)
Then we add this to parent's pom.xml to element project.

...

Finally, parent's pom.xml looks like this:

...

What is being generated?

First of all, the archetype creates the project directory my-cxf-bc-su, containing:

• a pom.xml file for building the service unit project
• a directory src/main/resources , in which we will create our with a xbean.xml file for configuring the service unit
• a directory src/main/resources , in which we will create with a service.wsdl for description our service.our webservice.

Because we started Maven's archetype:create from the directory containing our parent pom.xml Maven has also
added a module to the parent's pom.xml <modules> section.

...

Now, we will have to configure this service unit to provide the services we want.
