Introduction
Explain diff between std jbi component and lw component and the static use of ServiceMix.
Two main use cases for ServiceMix:
1. As a ull JBI container - using SMX as a full JBI container in which you can deploy Service Assemblies and standard JBI components. And you may also deploy lightweight components in this mode - they must be deployed to the servicemix-lwcontainer.
2. Embedded - static servicemix.xml file configuration used for testing or encapsulating ServiceMix into a web application as the entire use of ServiceMix. In other words, you will not be able to deploy other stuff onto this type of ServiceMix configuration at runtime. You would have to shutdown, reconfigure and then restart.
This tutorial focuses on deploying lightweight components to the servicemix-lwcontainer.
[ EDIT THIS STUFF: Components can be deployed on ServiceMix in various configurations. For example, components can be deployed on ServiceMix running stand-alone or components can be deployed on ServiceMix which itself is deployed on an application server such as Geronimo.
First some background. A JBI component is either a service engine (SE) or a binding component (BC). These terms are defined in Introduction to ESB and/or the Glossary. A BC/SE is installed on ServiceMix by copying it into the install
directory which resides under the ServiceMix home directory. So what gets deployed? JBI components can act as containers themselves. Artifacts can be deployed to an existing BC or SE to add more functionality to that component. Adding artifacts to installed components is called deployment. To deploy artifacts to a component the artifacts can be placed in the deploy
directory under the ServiceMix home directory. Another term that is important to know is service assembly. A service assembly is a collection of deployment artifacts and metadata. A service unit is a single deployment artifact which is deployed on a single component. For deployment to happen, the artifacts must be in a very specific format, which is specified in the JSR 208 specification. Please see chapter 6 of the JSR 208 specification for more details. In addition to deploying components, ServiceMix allows servicemix.xml
files to be deployed in a similar method to deploying a component. ]
Explanation of Using the Lightweight Container and Deploying the ServiceMix Loan Broker Example
We are going to use the Loan Broker example which can be found Loan Broker Demo for ServiceMix. This example has
This section is included to show how to deploy a ServiceMix component on ServiceMix running stand-alone. It is helpful to see how this deployment is done to build up to the deployment on Geronimo.
Note: These steps work on ServiceMix versions prior to 2.0, but it is now broken. Please see Jira issue: SM-154.
The following example shows a component "org.servicemix.components.servicemix.ServiceMixComponent" being deployed and then a service unit (Quartz) being deployed to the ServiceMixComponent. Note: that the service unit is a servicemix.xml
file.
These steps were performed with a source distribution of ServiceMix 2.0.2 on Windows XP. The existing quartz binding example is modified in this example to turn it into a deployement unit.
Modify the quartz binding
servicemix.xml
file to change it into a service unit. Theservicemix.xml
file is located in[servicemix_src_install_dir]\assembly\target\servicemix-2.0.2\bin\servicemix-2.0.2\examples\quartz-binding
, where [servicemix_src_install_dir] is the directory in which the source distribution of ServiceMix is located.- Create a directory elsewhere, such as \temp\JBIcomponent
- Copy servicemix.xml to \temp\JBIcomponent
- cd \temp\JBIcomponent
- Edit the
servicemix.xml
file. Change the "container" tags to "serviceunit" and save the file. The file should match the following:This file will be used in a later step.<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <beans xmlns="http://xbean.org/schemas/spring/1.0" xmlns:spring="http://xbean.org/schemas/spring/1.0" xmlns:sm="http://servicemix.org/config/1.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://xbean.org/schemas/spring/1.0 ../../conf/spring-beans.xsd http://servicemix.org/config/1.0 ../../conf/servicemix.xsd" xmlns:my="http://servicemix.org/demo/"> <!-- the JBI container --> <sm:serviceunit spring:id="jbi"> <sm:activationSpecs> <!-- lets kick off a timer every 5 seconds --> <sm:activationSpec componentName="timer" service="my:timer" destinationService="my:trace"> <sm:component> <bean xmlns="http://xbean.org/schemas/spring/1.0" class="org.servicemix.components.quartz.QuartzComponent"> <property name="triggers"> <map> <entry> <key> <bean class="org.quartz.SimpleTrigger"> <property name="repeatInterval" value="5000" /> <property name="repeatCount" value="-1" /> </bean> </key> <bean class="org.quartz.JobDetail"> <property name="name" value="My Example Job" /> <property name="group" value="ServiceMix" /> </bean> </entry> </map> </property> </bean> </sm:component> </sm:activationSpec> <!-- Route the event to a trace component that just outputs the event to the console --> <sm:activationSpec componentName="trace" service="my:trace"> <sm:component> <bean xmlns="http://xbean.org/schemas/spring/1.0" class="org.servicemix.components.util.TraceComponent" /> </sm:component> </sm:activationSpec> </sm:activationSpecs> </sm:serviceunit> </beans>
- Two jar files must be created. These jar files will be copied into the ServiceMix
deploy
directory. The first jar file will contain the service componentjbi.xml
file. When this is copied to thedeploy
directory it deploys theServiceMixComponent
component. The second jar file will contain the service assembly and thejbi.xml
descriptor file. When it is copied to thedeploy
directory of ServiceMix it deploys the service unit (Quartz) to the previously deployed component,ServiceMixComponent
.- The file service component
jbi.xml
file should contain:<jbi xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jbi" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jbi" version="1.0"> <component type="service-engine"> <identification> <name>servicemix-component</name> <description>A ServiceMix Component that can be used to deploy servicemix.xml artifacts.</description> </identification> <component-class-name>org.servicemix.components.servicemix.ServiceMixComponent</component-class-name> <component-class-path/> </component> </jbi>
- Put
jbi.xml
in an empty META-INF directory and put that into a jar file:mkdir META-INF copy jbi.xml META-INF jar cvf service-component.jar *
- Create a zip file of the
servicemix.xml
file you modified above. The zip file should contain theservicemix.xml
file and it should be called su1.zip to match the name it is called in thejbi.xml
file. See theartifacts-name
tag in thejbi.xml
file for the name of the zip file. - Create the second jar file--this is the service assembly jar file. It will contain another
jbi.xml
file that is used for the service assembly and it will also contain the zip file,su1.zip
in the following structure:
The service assemblyjbi.xml
should be match the following:Copy the<jbi xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jbi" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jbi" version="1.0"> <service-assembly> <identification> <name>AU_1</name> <description>Sample AU</description> </identification> <service-unit> <identification> <name>SU_1</name> <description>Sample</description> </identification> <target> <artifacts-zip>su1.zip</artifacts-zip> <component-name>servicemix-component</component-name> </target> </service-unit> </service-assembly> </jbi>
jbi.xml
file to an empty META-INF directory, then create the jar file:In a directory which contains these files, create the jar file: META-INF/jbi.xml su1.zip jar cvf sa_quartz.jar *
- The file service component
Deploy the two jar files. Copy
service_component.jar
andsa_quartz.jar
to[servicemix_src_install_dir]\assembly\target\servicemix-2.0.\bin\servicemix-2.0.2\deploy
. This can be done while ServiceMix is running or while ServiceMix is not running. In the second case, run ServiceMix to see the deployment. Output will be similar to:ServiceMixComponent: deploy ServiceMixComponent: init: SU_1 path: C:\tmp1\servicemix-1.1-SNAPSHOT\target\servicemix-1.1-SNAPSHOT\bin\servicemix-1.1-SNAPSHOT\bin\..\wdir \defaultJBI\components\servicemix-component\serviceunit\SU_1 [INFO] XmlBeanDefinitionReader - -Loading XML bean definitions from URL [file:C:/tmp1/servicemix-1.1-SNAPSHOT/target/servicemix-1.1-SNAPSHOT /bin/servicemix-1.1-SNAPSHOT/bin/../wdir/defaultJBI/components/servicemix-component/serviceunit/SU_1/servicemix.xml] ...

The JBI spec describes in detail how to create a valid JBI deployment unit. In essence, it is a jar file with a META-INF/jbi.xml with other resource jars inside it. Please see Deployment Units for more information.
- Make sure that your geronimo server is running.
- Run the geronimo deploy tool against your deployment unit (in this case jbcomponent.jar):
java -jar geronimo-1.0-SNAPSHOT/bin/deployer.jar --user system --password manager deploy jbcomponent.jar
That should deploy the component to geronimo. To check, just take a look at the geronimo logs for a message similar to:
11:44:24,865 INFO [Configuration] Started configuration example-engine-1 11:44:24,869 INFO [ServiceMixDeployment] Starting: /Users/chirino/sandbox/geronimo/modules/assembly/target/geronimo-1.0-SNAPSHOT/config-store/20/META-INF/jbi.xml ... 11:44:25,783 INFO [DefaultListableBeanFactory] Creating shared instance of singleton bean 'jbi'
