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)

From SMX_HOME/bin directory, we run this command to create a service unit project named :

in MS Windows:

 
smx-arch sa

in GNU\Linux:

 
./smx-arch sa

Maven executes the archetype and reports BUILD SUCCESSFUL when it's done. (For more information run smx-arch help)

c:\java\apache-servicemix-3.2.1\bin>smx-arch sa
