ServiceMix Exec

ServiceMix Exec component is used to invoke commands (executables, shell commands, shell scripts, ...). The command can be static (defined in the component endpoint descriptor) or dynamic (provided in the incoming message, including arguments).

Installation

Simply drop the servicemix-exec installer zip in an hotdeploy directory monitored by ServiceMix.

How it works

Endpoint

The Exec endpoint can be very simple, waiting for command contained in the in message:

<beans xmlns="http://servicemix.apache.org/exec/1.0"
       xmlns:test="http://test">
  <exec:endpoint service="test:MyService"
                 endpoint="MyExec"/>
</beans>

You can define a fallback command if the incoming doesn't provide a command:

<beans xmlns="http://servicemix.apache.org/exec/1.0"
       xmlns:test="http://test">
   <exec:endpoint service="test:MyService"
                  endpoint="MyExec"
                  command="date"/>
</beans>
