Hi all,
I have downloaded and successfully built ServiceMix's code from trunk. I am
running it inside Eclipse. In fact I have managed to boot up the the
file-binding example that you suggest in your "Importing ServiceMix into
Eclipse" wiki page (it's a static configuration file).
My intention is to observe how ServiceMix works behind the curtains, by
setting the appropriate breakpoints in the code and stepping through it.
However, I am finding that most of the starting up work is done within the
following method call inside the Main class:
context = new FileSystemXmlApplicationContext(file,
processors);
I'd like to see two things:
- How the startup process works? --> for this, I imagine I need to
download the source code of Spring and XBean, to get visibility into what
happens within the above method call.
- How ServiceMix operates after the startup process? --> for this, I try
setting breakpoints all over the code of servicemix-file, but the execution
never pauses, perhaps because the code actually executes inside newly
spawned threads? Where should I set the breakpoints to see this in action?
I am unsure as to whether this is actually an Eclipse question rather than a
pure ServiceMix one, but since you guys debug ServiceMix code (possibly in
Eclipse) I've figured out you could give me a hand.
Many thanks,
Raul.
