Page Edited : SM : servicemix-bean servicemix-bean has been edited by Torsten Mielke (May 19, 2008). Change summary: added sample code for accessing message content as string in "Message processing example" (View changes) Content: ServiceMix Bean The ServiceMix Bean component provides integration with beans (POJOs) with the JBI bus to make it easy to use POJOs to process JBI message exchanges. Like in an Message Driven Bean in J2EE a POJO will receive a message from the NMR and process it in any way it likes. Unlike in a JMS component where the coding is already done the Bean component gives the developer the freedom to create any type of message handling but it must be hand coded all the way. POJOs There are several kind of POJOs you can deploy to servicemix-bean. MessageExchangeListener The first kind of POJOs you can deploy implement the MessageExchagneListener interface. In such a case, servicemix-bean acts as a replacement of the lightweight container component. This level offers the most control on the exchange received and sent. This is usually used with the injected DeliveryChannel to send back the exchanges, or if the POJOs needs to act as a consumer (i.e. creating and sending exchanges to other services). These POJOs are low-level POJOs: you need to understand the JBI Api and Message Exchange Patterns to correctly handle incoming exchanges. Note that at this point (v 3.1), there is no base class that you can inherit to speed you in this process of implementing a POJO to handle JBI exchanges, but hopefully it will come in the future. This example on the right shows the most simple bean. When it receives an exchange, it will print it to the console and set the status to DONE before sending the exchange back. This bean can not handle InOut exchanges, as it does not set any response (an exception would be thrown in such a case). Trace example import org.apache.servicemix.MessageExchangeListener; import javax.annotation.Resource; import javax.jbi.messaging.DeliveryChannel; import javax.jbi.messaging.ExchangeStatus; import javax.jbi.messaging.MessageExchange; import javax.jbi.messaging.MessagingException; public class ListenerBean implements MessageExchangeListener { @Resource private DeliveryChannel channel; public void onMessageExchange(MessageExchange exchange) throws MessagingException { System.out.println("Received exchange: " + exchange); exchange.setStatus(ExchangeStatus.DONE); channel.send(exchange); } } This example will handle an InOut exchange and will send back the input as the response. Note that this example would fail if receiving an InOnly exchange, as setting a response on an InOnly exchange is not a legal operation. Echo example import org.apache.servicemix.MessageExchangeListener; import org.apache.servicemix.jbi.util.MessageUtil; import javax.annotation.Resource; import javax.jbi.messaging.DeliveryChannel; import javax.jbi.messaging.ExchangeStatus; import javax.jbi.messaging.MessageExchange; import javax.jbi.messaging.MessagingException; public class ListenerBean implements MessageExchangeListener { @Resource private DeliveryChannel channel; public void onMessageExchange(MessageExchange exchange) throws MessagingException { if (exchange.getStatus() == ExchangeStatus.ACTIVE) { MessageUtil.transferInToOut(exchange, exchange); channel.send(exchange); } } } This is similar example as the one from above (also works only for InOut exchange) but it shows how you can extract message from an exchange in order to process it and send back. Message processing example import org.apache.servicemix.MessageExchangeListener; import org.apache.servicemix.jbi.util.MessageUtil; import javax.annotation.Resource; import javax.jbi.messaging.DeliveryChannel; import javax.jbi.messaging.ExchangeStatus; import javax.jbi.messaging.MessageExchange; import javax.jbi.messaging.MessagingException; import javax.jbi.messaging.NormalizedMessage; import javax.xml.transform.Source; public class ListenerBean implements MessageExchangeListener { @Resource private DeliveryChannel channel; public void onMessageExchange(MessageExchange exchange) throws MessagingException { if (exchange.getStatus() == ExchangeStatus.ACTIVE) { NormalizedMessage message = exchange.getMessage("in"); Source content = message.getContent(); //process content according to your logic //e.g. to access the message body as a String use String body = (new SourceTransformer()).toString(content); message.setContent(content); exchange.setMessage(message, "out"); channel.send(exchange); } } } Disclaimer In versions 3.1 to 3.1.2 the ServiceMix Bean component will not handle asynchronous messages correctly because the final send of the message marked as DONE back to the NMR will be handled as a consumer message and that fails because there is no corresponding provider message. The only workaround is to send the messages synchronously. Note: This was resolved in 3.1.3, 3.2.x and later via SM-1110. Deployment Currently (v 3.1), servicemix-bean supports two different deployment models. The first one uses an xbean.xml configuration file where one can configure the different endpoints / beans that will be used. The other one only works with a static configuration file (servicemix.xml) and can not be used with standard JBI packaging but allows automatic detection of the beans to expose. xbean.xml <beans xmlns:bean="http://servicemix.apache.org/bean/1.0"> <bean:endpoint service="test:service" endpoint="endpoint" bean="#listenerBean"/> <bean id="listenerBean" class="org.apache.servicemix.bean.beans.ListenerBean"/> </beans> Attention: The Bean Endpoint schema allows to set a Bean or a Bean Name. The Bean will create a single instance of the POJO per endpoint whereas the Bean Name will create an instance per request (message exchange). Static configuration When used in a static configuration, beans can be automatically discovered amongst spring configured beans: <beans xmlns:sm="http://servicemix.apache.org/config/1.0" xmlns:bean="http://servicemix.apache.org/bean/1.0" xmlns:test="urn:test"> <sm:container id="jbi" embedded="true" createMBeanServer="false"> <sm:activationSpecs> <sm:activationSpec> <sm:component> <bean:component/> </sm:component> </sm:activationSpec> </sm:activationSpecs> </sm:container> <bean id="consumerBean" class="org.apache.servicemix.bean.beans.ConsumerBean"/> <bean id="listenerBean" class="org.apache.servicemix.bean.beans.ListenerBean"/> <bean id="annotatedBean" class="org.apache.servicemix.bean.beans.AnnotatedBean"/> <bean id="plainBean" class="org.apache.servicemix.bean.beans.PlainBean"/> </beans> Such beans can be accessed by resolving a URI: DocumentFragment epr = URIResolver.createWSAEPR("bean:annotatedBean"); ServiceEndpoint se = client.getContext().resolveEndpointReference(epr); exchange.setEndpoint(se); Beans can also be discovered by searching within defined packages: <beans xmlns:sm="http://servicemix.apache.org/config/1.0" xmlns:bean="http://servicemix.apache.org/bean/1.0" xmlns:test="urn:test"> <sm:container id="jbi" embedded="true" createMBeanServer="false"> <sm:activationSpecs> <sm:activationSpec> <sm:component> <bean:component searchPackages="org.apache.servicemix.bean.beans"/> </sm:component> </sm:activationSpec> </sm:activationSpecs> </sm:container> </beans> In such a case, beans must have the @Endpoint annotation. Of course, you can use the endpoint xml element to configure your POJOs: <beans xmlns:sm="http://servicemix.apache.org/config/1.0" xmlns:bean="http://servicemix.apache.org/bean/1.0" xmlns:test="urn:test"> <sm:container id="jbi" embedded="true" createMBeanServer="false"> <sm:activationSpecs> <sm:activationSpec> <sm:component> <bean:component> <bean:endpoints> <bean:endpoint service="test:service" endpoint="endpoint" bean="#listenerBean"/> </bean:endpoints> </bean:component> </sm:component> </sm:activationSpec> </sm:activationSpecs> </sm:container> <bean id="listenerBean" class="org.apache.servicemix.bean.beans.ListenerBean"/> </beans> Note: Please make sure that the namespace specified at the top xmlns:test does match to the namespace used in the endpoint's service test:service. When calling the service by the service name then you need to add the namespace in order to find the service like {urn:test}service. MessageExchange dispatching If the POJO deployed implements the org.apache.servicemix.MessageExchangeListener, every message received for this POJO will be dispatched to the onMessageExchange method. In other cases, exchanges in a provider role will be dispatched according to the MethodInvocationStrategy configured on the endpoint. The default one try to find the method according to the operation name defined on the exchange. If there is only a single method acting as an operation, it will always be used. Annotations The servicemix-bean component can accept different kind of POJOs. These POJOs may be annotated to customize their behavior. All the following annotations belong to the org.apache.servicemix.bean package. Annotation Target Description Callback Method   Content Parameter   Correlation Type   Endpoint Type This annotation is mandatory if the bean is automatically searched from a list of packages. ExchangeTarget Field   Operation Method   Property Parameter   XPath Parameter   In addition, standard annotations can be used: Annotation Target Description Resource Field The Resource annotation marks a resource that is needed by the application. Currently, this annotation is only supported on fields of type ComponentContext and DeliveryChannel. The component will inject the specified resource when the POJO is instantiated. PostConstruct Method The PostConstruct annotation is used on a method that needs to be executed after dependency injection is done to perform any initialization. PreDestroy Method The PreDestroy annotation is used on methods as a callback notification to signal that the instance is in the process of being removed by the container. The following interfaces are part of this API: Interface Description MessageExchangeListener When the POJO implements this interface, all exchanges will be dispatched to the onMessageExchange method. Destination This interface can be used to define a property on the bean, annotated with the @ExchangeTarget annotation. This is a very simple API to send exchanges from a POJO. More complex use cases can use an injected DeliveryChannel directly or to create a ServiceMix client. Examples AnnotatedBean AutoDeployedBean ConsumerBean ListenerBean PlainBean URI You can use a handy URI to refer to beans using the Spring names of beans. bean:someName The above would refer to the bean named someName in the Spring ApplicationContext which is used to boot up the bean component.
