Using a Maven archetype to create the service assembly

ServiceMix provides Maven archetype to help you create your service assembly.(SA)
Run this command from the directory folder that holds contains your parent root pom.xml:

...

Maven executes the archetype and reports BUILD SUCCESSFUL when it's done.

...

Configuring the pom.xml

Changing the project name

In order to make the build output a little bit more comprehensible , we first change the project name in the generated pom.xml file.

Adding the

...

all service units to the

...

assembly

We want to add the service unit units we created before to the service assembly. The Maven tooling will do this automatically if we add the correct dependency to our SA's pom.xml. We just use the groupId, artifactId and version we find in our service unit's pom.xml here:

...

...

Running Maven to build everything

Now , run mvn install from the parent directory to get this output:

...

project's root folder to build all service units and to create
the service assembly:

...

Now, we are ready to deploy our service assembly. For doing this we just copy the created service assembly jar zip file (my-cxf-sa/target/my-cxf-sa-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jarzip) into the hotdeploy folder of your ServiceMix installation. Watch the service mix servicemix console window for success (or maybe errors).

Things to remember

• You can use the servicemix-service-assembly archetype to quickly create a Maven SA project.
• Add SU to your SA by adding dependencies to your pom.xml
