This page explains how you can create an OSGi bundle that contains both Java code and a Spring XML file with the endpoints definition. The example shows a file poller endpoint with a servicemix-bean POJO

Creating the Maven project

First, create and empty directory and add the following pom.xml file. We add the bundle plugin and configure it to import the servicemix-file and servicemix-bean packages as well as the org.apache.servicemix.common.osgi package

When you're running this example, make sure to configure the correct component version in your pom.xml file
e.g. for ServiceMix 4.3.0, choose the 2011.01 version

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">

          <instructions>
            <Import-Package>
               org.apache.servicemix.file,org.apache.servicemix.bean,org.apache.servicemix.common.osgi,*
            </Import-Package>
          </instructions>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
      <!-- let's use Java 5 -->
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>

        <configuration>
          <source>1.5</source>
          <target>1.5</target>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
</project>

Adding the Java source files in src/main/java

We create the Java source files under the src/main/java folder as usual:

package org.apache.servicemix.pojo;

import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;
import org.apache.servicemix.bean.Property;

public class Pojo {
    
    private static final Log LOG = LogFactory.getLog(Pojo.class);
    
    public void handleFile(@Property(name="org.apache.servicemix.file.name") String name) {
        LOG.info("Handling file " + name);
    }
    
}

Adding the Spring XML file to META-INF/spring in src/main/resources

Any Spring XML file in the META-INF/spring folder will be automatically loaded and started upon deployment. We add a Spring XML file with our endpoint definitions to this folder. Make sure it includes the org.apache.servicemix.common.osgi.EndpointExporter that registers the endpoints with the NMR.

                 targetService="ns:bean" targetEndpoint="endpoint"
                 file="/home/gert/test/poller"/>
    
    <bean:endpoint service="ns:bean" endpoint="endpoint"

    <!-- use this special class to register the endpoints with the NMR -->
    <bean class="org.apache.servicemix.common.osgi.EndpointExporter" />
    
</beans>

Build and test

Now, run a mvn clean install from your project directory to start the Maven build.

After the build has finished succesfully, just copy the JAR file you find in the target directory into the ServiceMix 4 deploy directory. Afterwards, verify that the bundle has been started by typing the osgi/list command in the ServiceMix 4 console.
