Creating the cxf-se service unit
On this page, we are going to create the cxf-se service unit. .
Using a Maven archetype to create the service unit project
ServiceMix provides several Maven archetypes to help you create your projects more rapidly and reliably.
We start off by using the servicemix-cxf-se-service-unit archetype which is used for creating a servicemix-cxf-se service unit project.
From our tutorial's project folder we run the following command to create a service unit project:
mvn archetype:create -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.servicemix.tooling -DarchetypeArtifactId=servicemix-cxf-se-service-unit -DgroupId=org.apache.servicemix.examples -DartifactId=my-cxf-se-su
Maven executes the archetype and reports BUILD SUCCESSFUL when it's done.

[INFO] Reactor build order: [INFO] ServiceMix :: tutorial-wsdl-cxf-service [INFO] A Cxf BC Service Unit [INFO] Searching repository for plugin with prefix: 'archetype'. ... [INFO] OldArchetype created in dir: c:\home\Diplomka\_mySA\tutorial-wsdl-cxf-service\my-cxf-se-su [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] BUILD SUCCESSFUL [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Total time: 11 seconds [INFO] Finished at: Tue Aug 05 08:16:57 CEST 2008 [INFO] Final Memory: 10M/18M [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is being generated?
First of all, the archetype creates the project folder my-cxf-se-su, containing:
- a pom.xml file for building the service unit project
- a directory src/main/resources containing a xbean.xml file for configuring the service unit
- a directory src/main/java containing a org/apache/servicemix/examples/ExampleService.java for implementing our service.
Because we started Maven's archetype:create from the folder containing our root pom.xml Maven also added
the module to the root's pom.xml <modules> section.
<module>my-cxf-se-su</module>
Now, we will have to configure the service unit to provide the services we want.
