Creating the CXF-BC Service Unit

4.01. Creating the Maven project

4. Beginner - Web services with ServiceMix and CXF

On this page we are going to create the cxf-bc 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-bc-service-unit archetype, which is used for creating a servicemix-cxf-bc service unit project.

From our tutorial project directory where we already have the root pom.xml we run the following command to create a service unit project.

 
mvn archetype:create -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.servicemix.tooling 
                     -DarchetypeArtifactId=servicemix-cxf-bc-service-unit 
                     -DgroupId=org.apache.servicemix.examples 
                     -DartifactId=my-cxf-bc-su

Maven executes the archetype and reports BUILD SUCCESSFUL when it's done.

What is being generated?

First of all, the archetype creates the project directory my-cxf-bc-su, containing:

a pom.xml file for building the service unit project
a directory src/main/resources with a xbean.xml file for configuring the service unit
a directory src/main/resources with a service.wsdl for description our webservice.

Because we started Maven's archetype:create from the directory containing our parent pom.xml Maven has also
added a module to the parent's pom.xml <modules> section.

 
 <module>my-cxf-bc-su</module>

Now, we will have to configure this service unit to provide the services we want.
