Endpoints being deployed using the Fuse Service Framework binding component are packaged into a service unit. The service unit will container the WSDL document defining the endpoint's interface and a configuration file that sets-up the endpoint's runtime behavior.
A service unit that configures the Fuse Service Framework binding component will contain the following artifacts:
xbean.xmlThe
xbean.xmlfile contains the XML configuration for the endpoint defined by the service unit. The contents of this file are the focus of this guide.![[Note]](imagesdb/note.gif)
Note The service unit can define more than one endpoint.
- WSDL file
The WSDL file defines the endpoint the interface exposes.
- Spring configuration file
The Spring configuration file contains configuration for the Fuse Service Framework runtime.
meta-inf/jbi.xmlThe
jbi.xmlfile is the JBI descriptor for the service unit. Example 8.1 shows a JBI descriptor for a Fuse Service Framework binding component service unit.Example 8.1. JBI Descriptor for a Fuse Service Framework Binding Component Service Unit
<jbi xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jbi" version="1.0"> <services binding-component="false" /> </jbi>
For information on using the Maven tooling to package endpoints into a JBI service unit see Appendix C: Using the Maven JBI Tooling.
You can package Fuse Service Framework binding component endpoints in an OSGi bundle. To do so you need to make two minor changes:
you will need to include an OSGi bundle manifest in the
META-INFfolder of the bundle.You need to add the following to your service unit's configuration file:
<bean class="org.apache.servicemix.common.osgi.EndpointExporter" />

When you deploy Fuse Service Framework binding component endpoints in an OSGi bundle, the resulting endpoints are deployed as a JBI service unit. |
For more information on using the OSGi packaging see Appendix D.
The elements used to configure Fuse Service Framework binding component endpoints are defined in the http://servicemix.apache.org/cxfbc/1.0 namespace. You will need to add a namespace declaration similar to the one in Example 8.2 to your xbeans.xml file's beans element.
Example 8.2. Namespace Declaration for Using Fuse Service Framework Binding Component Endpoints
<beans ...
xmlns:cxfbc="http://servicemix.apache.org/cxfbc/1.0"
... >
...
</beans>In addition, you need to add the schema location to the Spring beans element's xsi:schemaLocation as shown in Example 8.3.
Example 8.3. Schema Location for Using Fuse Service Framework Binding Component Endpoints
<beans ...
xsi:schemaLocation="...
http://servicemix.apache.org/cxfbc/1.0 http://servicemix.apache.org/cxfbc/1.0/servicemix-cxfbc.xsd
...">
...
</beans>
