4. Beginner - Outsource SU configuration in a properties file
This tutorial teaches you how to externalize SU configuration in a dedicated properties file (on a special location or in the ServiceMix classpath).
Using this, you are able to change the service configuration without rebuilding your SU (just a service restart is required).
To do it, we use a Spring PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer.
Here is an example of it in a HTTP SU.
The HTTP SU xbean.xml looks like this :
<beans xmlns:http="http://servicemix.apache.org/http/1.0"
xmlns:myService="http://www.example.com/myService">
<bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
<property name="locations">
<value>classpath:/myService.properties</value>
</property>
</bean>
<http:consumer service="myService"
endpoint="my-service-http-consumer"
locationURI="${service.locationURI}"/>
</beans>
You can see that the HTTP locationURI uses
contained in the myService.properties (located in the ServiceMix classpath).
The myService.properties file simply contains :
service.locationURI=http://0.0.0.0:8081/myService
