Configuring the cxf-bc-su service unit

On this page we are going to configure the cxf-bc-su to provide our webservice .

Configuring the pom.xml

First of all we move into the created folder my-cxf-bc-su.

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 BC SU</name>
  ...
</project>

Editing service.wsdl to configure our webservice

We have to edit the WSDL file service.wsdl in src/main/resources folder to configure our webservice.
Here is an example for the method SayHello.

service.wsdl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</wsdl:service>
</wsdl:definitions>

Configuring the xbean.xml

Next we will have to configure our new SU to really provide some services. We do this by modifying a file
named xbean.xml in the src/main/resources folder of our my-cxf-bc-su module.
We have to configure it according to the service.wsdl.
Here is an example:

xbean.xml
<beans xmlns:cxfbc="http://servicemix.apache.org/cxfbc/1.0"
       xmlns:hello="http://servicemix.apache.org/examples">

  <cxfbc:consumer wsdl="classpath:service.wsdl"
                      targetService="hello:HelloService"
                      targetInterface="hello:Hello"/>
</beans>

Next, we are going to create cxf-se service unit.

Things to remember

  • In ServiceMix, most service units will be configured by a file named xbean.xml
