Creating the CXF-BC Service Unit
On this page we are going to create the cxf-bc service unit. .
Using a Maven archetype to create the service unit project
ServiceMix provides several Maven archetypes to help you create your projects more rapidly and reliably. We start off by using the servicemix-cxf-bc-service-unit archetype, which is used for creating a servicemix-cxf-bc service unit project.
From our tutorial project directory where we already have the root pom.xml we run the following command to create a service unit project.
Maven executes the archetype and reports BUILD SUCCESSFUL when it's done.
What is being generated?
First of all, the archetype creates the project directory my-cxf-bc-su, containing:
- a pom.xml file for building the service unit project
- a directory src/main/resources with a xbean.xml file for configuring the service unit
- a directory src/main/resources with a service.wsdl for description our webservice.
Because we started Maven's archetype:create from the directory containing our parent pom.xml Maven has also
added a module to the parent's pom.xml <modules> section.
Now, we will have to configure this service unit to provide the services we want.
