1.06 Creating the service assembly (SA)

On this page, we are going to create a service assembly .

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 that holds your parent pom.xml:

 
c:\home\Diplomka\_mySA\tutorial-wsdl-cxf-service>mvn archetype:create -Darchetyp
eGroupId=org.apache.servicemix.tooling -DarchetypeArtifactId=servicemix-service-
assembly -DgroupId=org.apache.servicemix.examples -DartifactId=my-cxf-sa

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

Configuring 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.

 
<project>
  ...
  <name>CXF WSDL Tutorial :: CXF SA</name>
  ...
</project>

Adding the SU to the SA

We want to add the service unit 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:

 
<project>
  ...
  <dependencies>
  <dependency>
      <groupId>org.apache.servicemix.examples</groupId>
      <artifactId>my-cxf-se-su</artifactId>
      <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.apache.servicemix.examples</groupId>
      <artifactId>my-cxf-bc-su</artifactId>
      <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
    </dependency>
 </dependencies>
  ...
</project>

Running Maven to build everything

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

 
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Reactor Summary:
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] ServiceMix :: tutorial-wsdl-cxf-service ............... SUCCESS [3.031s]
...
[INFO] CXF WSDL Tutorial :: CXF SA ........................... SUCCESS [1.265s]
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] BUILD SUCCESSFUL
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Total time: 3 minutes 47 seconds
[INFO] Finished at: Tue Aug 05 09:44:23 CEST 2008
[INFO] Final Memory: 38M/69M
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, we are ready to deploy our service assembly. For doing this we just copy the created service assembly jar file (my-cxf-sa/target/my-cxf-sa-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar) into the hotdeploy folder of your ServiceMix installation. Watch the service mix 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
