Getting Started

Before trying to use ServiceMix you might want to read What is JBI and get an idea for the Architecture along with the supported NMR Flows.

Running ServiceMix

To begin working with ServiceMix get a binary download. The quickest way to get started is to try Running ServiceMix as a stand alone service with the included demo components to see it in action.

Then maybe view the statistics and operation of ServiceMix in a JMX Console and see how the Management works.

Working with components

Another simple way to get started with ServiceMix is to try out the Spring Support. Then you can use ServiceMix inside your application right way, using Spring to wire the components together.

To interact with JBI components, you should try out the Client API.

Alternatively you might want to try using our Groovy support to script ServiceMix really easily - or use JSR 223 to use any other scripting engine to script JBI messages and services.

Developing components

To developing components you might want to check out our Component helper classes to take away some of the plumbing required to write JBI components - plus do take a look at the POJO Support for how to drop simple POJOs into ServiceMix.
