Hi all,
I have several questions around SMX4.
1/ cxf-nmr and cxf-osgi example
Both example are quite the same except that the <jaxws:endpoint> tag address
attribute is not the same :
- in the case of the cxf-nmr, the address is set to nmr:HelloWorld
- in the case of the cxf-osgi, the address is set to /HelloWorld
Does it mean that to register the OSGi bundle in the NMR, I need to use the
first
address format ?
I guess that registering the bundle in the NMR is the only manner to expose the
bean via another component (such as JMS, http, etc). Correct ?
2/ Using bean for jaxws implementor
In the cxf examples, Guillaume uses the <jaxws:endpoint> which looks like the
<cxfse:endpoint> previous component.
In my SMX3 services, I uses a SU with something like :
<bean id="myOtherBean" class="MyOtherBean">
<property name="arg0" value="test"/>
</bean>
<cxfse:endpoint endpoint="MyService" service="GlobalService">
<cxfse:pojo>
<bean class="myBean">
<property name="otherBean" ref="myOtherBean"/>
</bean>
</cxfse:pojo>
</cxfse:endpoint>
Using the <jaxws:endpoint>, I have seen only the implementor attribute taking a
classname. Is it possible to use bean ref as implementor ?
3/ My first bundle
I have wrote my first bundle to migrate one of my cxfse components.
In the META-INF/spring/beans.xml, I have define something like this :
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xmlns:cxfse="http://servicemix.apache.org/cxfse/1.0";
xmlns:fsb="http://fsb.fimasys.com";
xsi:schemaLocation="
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
http://servicemix.apache.org/cxfse/1.0
http://servicemix.apache.org/cxfse/1.0/servicemix-cxf-se.xsd";>
[...]
<cxfse:endpoint endpoint="myService" service="Services">
<cxfse:pojo>
<bean class="myClassImpl">
<property name="proxy" ref="ejbProxy"/>
</bean>
</cxfse:pojo>
</cxfse:endpoint>
</beans>
myClassImpl contains the @WebService annotations and implements an interface
with
@WebService annotation too.
In the pom.xml, I have :
[...]
<packaging>bundle</packaging>
[...]
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-bundle-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<instructions>
<Bundle-SymbolicName>${pom.artifactId}</Bundle-SymbolicName>
<Import-Package>
javax.jws,
META-INF.cxf,
META-INF.cxf.osgi
</Import-Package>
<Private-Package>MyServicePackage.*</Private-Package>
<Require-Bundle>org.apache.servicemix.bundles.woodstox-3.2.3</Require-Bundle>
</instructions>
</configuration>
</plugin>
[...]
I have build my bundle using :
mvn org.apache.felix:maven-bundle-plugin:bundle
I have installed this bundle (using the shell) using :
osgi install file:/....
osgi start bundle_id
The bundle is installed and started correctly.
But, doing nmr list in the SMX shell, I can't see any endpoints defined.
Now, how can I expose this bundle using another bundle (or component) for
example
in HTTP (SOAP), file or JMS ?
4/ Advice to migrate from SMX3 to SMX4
As I don't have a lot of services in my SMX3, I would like to fully migrate to
SMX4 to be ready for the future :).
In my mind, the best way is to reimplement all my old SUs/SUa using OSGi
bundles.
Is it a good way ?
Freeman has said to me that it's possible to have a myServices.xml file in the
deploy directory containing all my services definition (endpoints, beans, etc).
In this kind of file, how can I refer OSGi bundles (that I have previously
installed and deploy) (it's quite the same question that in the point 3) ?
Is OSGi bundles is the good way to provide services in the NMR or should I use :
- basic jar files containing my beans
- a myServices.xml in the deploy directory containing services/endpoints
declaration using my beans
Thanks a lot for your feedback :)
Regards
JB
