Although I agree in general, the problem is I simply don't have time to read someone else's code to learn how to use their product. I work in an office where SOA is being considered and I'm just trying to put together a small example of how ServiceMix could be used. From my newbie perspective, if you haven't been in the SOA/messaging game for a while, all of the info out there is written from a point of view of the reader knowing what's going on - which I don't. ;-)
Luckily, the ServiceMix examples all work as expected once you get past a couple of hurdles (proxy servers, ant and proxy servers, etc. etc.). The best example I've found thus far is the rss-binding example. It's close to what I want to do. This brings up another thing I've notice, there doesn't seem to be an info on how to use ServiceMix as a solution to a problem. For instance, as a newbie to ServiceMix I don't yet understand what I need to configure or build myself to get a stock quote from a service (via http) every five minutes, then cache those results, then allow clients to request the lastest results from the cache. I know I could use the quartz and http components, but what else? How do I cache the results. What do I need to provide in terms of custom components, etc. Unless you've been involved with ServiceMix for a while, this kind of solutions based info just isn't found - or at least, I can't find it. Seems like a good oportunity for someone to write a book: "Real World ServiceMix Solutions" Any takers?
