Overview of the ServiceMix 2.x Quartz Example

This document describes how to run the Quartz example in ServiceMix and provides details about what the Quartz example does. For information on the business use case, please refer to: Use Case for Quartz.

The Quartz example illustrates the following:

The source code for the Quartz example is located in the ServiceMix installation directory under the examples\quartz-binding directory in the servicemix.xml file. It is recommended that you refer to the source code while reading this document.

This example shows how to use a Quartz component to set off a trigger, that sends messages to a trace component. The trace component logs the messages to the console as they arrive

Running the Quartz Example

From a command shell, go to the Quartz example directory:

cd [servicemix_install_dir]\examples\quartz-binding

Then type:

[servicemix_install_dir]\bin\servicemix servicemix.xml

where servicemix_install_dir is the directory in which ServiceMix was installed.

Add $SERVICEMIX_HOME\bin directory to $PATH variable to simplify execution of the example.

Stopping the Quartz Example

To terminate the Quartz example type "CTRL-C" in the command shell, in which it is running and answer "y" to the "Terminate batch job (y/n)?" question.

How it Works

The diagram below illustrates the flow of messages through the Quartz components.



Messages flow through the components as follows:

  1. Every 5 seconds the timer component sends a message to the trace component, through the Normalized Message Router (NMR).
  2. the trace component then transforms the normalized message into a string and logs it to the console.

Details

The following table provides more details about the function of each component and bean in the servicemix.xml file.

Component or Bean ID

Description

timer

The timer component shows the use of the QuartzComponent class. Every 5 seconds, until the program is terminated, the timer component kicks off an instance of a SimpleTrigger, which is associated with an instance of JobDetail. The job has a property called "name", with a value of "My Example Job" and another property called "group", with a value of "ServiceMix." The resulting message is converted to a normalized message and then routed through the NMR.

trace

Receives normalized messages via the NMR. It transforms the normalized message into a string and logs it to the console.

Issues

The ServiceMix 2.0.2 distribution has a known logging bug, so output is not logged to the console, currently. There are two ways to fix this problem. The first solution is to upgrade to 2.0.3 or greater. Please see Download for the latest releases. If 2.0.2 is still the latest/current release, then download a developer's release of 2.0.3.

The other solution is to replace the jencks-all-1.1.1.jar with the jencks-all-1.1.2.jar file. Note: This can only be done for the source version of ServiceMix 2.0.2. To apply the fix, perform the following steps:

  1. Download the jencks-all-1.2.jar here.
  2. Copy the jar file to [servicemix_src_install_dir]\assembly\target\servicemix-2.0.2\bin\servicemix-2.0.2\lib, where [servicemix_src_install_dir] is the directory in which the ServiceMix distribution is located.
  3. Delete jencks-all-1.1.1.jar from that directory.
  4. Place a copy of the jar file in the ServiceMix web directory at [servicemix_src_install_dir]\servicemix-2.0.2\tooling\servicemix-web\target\servicemix-web\WEB-INF as well.
  5. To run the example in the source distribution:
cd [servicemix_src_install_dir]\assembly\target\servicemix-2.0.2\bin\servicemix-2.0.2\bin

..\..\bin\servicemix servicemix.xml

NOTE: It is not necessary to build the source distribution if you have done so previously. If ServiceMix has not been built, execute the steps above, before building. The procedure on how to build the source distribution can be found here.
