Creating the service assembly (SA)
{scrollbar}
On this page, we are going to INLINEcreate a service assembly
.
Using a Maven archetype to create the service assembly
ServiceMix provides Maven archetype to help you create your service assembly.(SA)
Run this command from the folder that contains your root pom.xml:
mvn archetype:create -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.servicemix.tooling
-DarchetypeArtifactId=servicemix-service-assembly
-DgroupId=org.apache.servicemix.examples
-DartifactId=my-cxf-sa
Maven executes the archetype and reports BUILD SUCCESSFUL when it's done.

Configuring the pom.xml
Changing the project name
In order to make the build output a little bit more comprehensible we first change the project name in the generated pom.xml file.
<project>
...
<name>CXF WSDL Tutorial :: CXF SA</name>
...
</project>
Adding the all service units to the assembly
We want to add the service units we created before to the service assembly. The Maven tooling will do this automatically if we add the correct dependency to our SA's pom.xml. We just use the groupId, artifactId and version we find in our service unit's pom.xml:
<project>
...
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.servicemix.examples</groupId>
<artifactId>my-cxf-se-su</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.servicemix.examples</groupId>
<artifactId>my-cxf-bc-su</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
...
</project>
Running Maven to build everything
Now run mvn install from the project's root folder to build all service units and to create
the service assembly:
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Reactor Summary:
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] ServiceMix :: tutorial-wsdl-cxf-service ............... SUCCESS [3.031s]
...
[INFO] CXF WSDL Tutorial :: CXF SA ........................... SUCCESS [1.265s]
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] BUILD SUCCESSFUL
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Total time: 3 minutes 47 seconds
[INFO] Finished at: Tue Aug 05 09:44:23 CEST 2008
[INFO] Final Memory: 38M/69M
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, we are ready to deploy our service assembly. For doing this we just copy the created service assembly zip file (my-cxf-sa/target/my-cxf-sa-1.0-SNAPSHOT.zip) into the hotdeploy folder of your ServiceMix installation. Watch the servicemix console window for success (or maybe errors).
Things to remember
- You can use the servicemix-service-assembly archetype to quickly create a Maven SA project.
- Add SU to your SA by adding dependencies to your pom.xml
