Explanation ----------- The NMR is a general-purpose message bus that applications can use to communicate within the ServiceMix OSGi container. It is modeled on the Normalized Message Router (NMR) defined in the Java Business Integration (JBI) specification. The Camel routes are defined in the beans.xml file that is located in the src/main/resources/OSGI-INF/blueprint directory of this example. The contents of the blueprint.xml file can be explained as follows: 1. Defines a route that generates a heartbeat message every 2000ms and sends it to the NMR. 2. Defines a second route that receives the message from the NMR, transforms the heartbeat into a message containing the current date and time, and logs the message. The routes are deployed in an OSGi bundle. Prerequisites for Building and Running the Example -------------------------------------------------- 1. You must have the following installed on your machine: - JDK 1.6 or higher - Maven 2.2.1 or higher (for building) For more information, see the README in the top-level examples directory. 2. Start ServiceMix by running the following command: /bin/servicemix (on UNIX) \bin\servicemix (on Windows) Running the Example ------------------- You can run the example in two ways: - A. Using a Prebuilt Deployment Bundle: Quick and Easy This option is useful if you want to see the example up and running quickly. - B. Building the Example Bundle Yourself This option is useful if you want to change the example in any way. It tells you how to build and deploy the example. This option might be slower than option A because if you do not already have the required bundles in your local Maven repository, Maven will have to download the bundles it needs. Updating and Redeploying the Properties File from the Console ------------------------------------------------------------- You can update and redeploy the properties file that is used by the properties placeholder in the blueprint.xml from console as follows: 1. Edit the org.apache.servicemix.examples.cfg file, located in the same folder as this README, by changing the value of the "prefix" key to whatever you want (for example, YourTransform). 2. Copy the updated configuration file to your /etc directory. You can do this from the ServiceMix console by typing: copy $YOUR_SERVICEMIX_HOME/examples/camel-osgi/org.apache.servicemix.examples.cfg $YOUR_SERVICEMIX_HOME/etc On Windows you need to replace / in the path with \\. Note, the text you are typing might intermingle with the output being logged. This is nothing to worry about. 3. Restart the example bundle: (i) First you must know the bundle ID that ServiceMix has assigned to it. To get the bundle ID, enter the following command in the ServiceMix console: osgi:list At the end of the listing, you should see an entry similar to the following: [ 185] [Active ] [Created ] [ ] [ 60] Apache ServiceMix :: Features :: Examples :: Camel NMR Blueprint (${project.version}) In this case, the bundle ID is 185. (ii) Enter the following command in the ServiceMix console to restart the bundle: osgi:restart The prefix of the output should change, and the output should look similar to the following: >>>> YourTransform set body: Tue Aug 11 17:14:12 BST 2009 >>>> YourTransform set body: Tue Aug 11 17:14:14 BST 2009 >>>> YourTransform set body: Tue Aug 11 17:14:16 BST 2009 For information on how to stop and/or uninstall the example, see "Stopping and Uninstalling the Example" below. A. Using a Prebuilt Deployment Bundle:Quick and Easy ---------------------------------------------------- To install and run a prebuilt version of this example, enter the following command in the ServiceMix console: features:install examples-camel-nmr-blueprint This command makes use of the ServiceMix features facility. For more information about the features facility, see the README.txt file in the examples parent directory. Once the example is running you should see output similar to the following being logged to the console screen: >>>> Blueprint-NMR-Example set body: Mon Jan 10 09:00:24 CET 2011 >>>> Blueprint-NMR-Example set body: Mon Jan 10 09:00:26 CET 2011 >>>> Blueprint-NMR-Example set body: Mon Jan 10 09:00:28 CET 2011 For information on how to stop and/or uninstall the example, see "Stopping and Uninstalling the Example" below. B. Building the Example Bundle Yourself --------------------------------------- To install and run the example where you build the example bundle yourself, complete the following steps: 1. If you have already run the example using the prebuilt version as described above, you must first uninstall the examples-camel-nmr feature by entering the following command in the ServiceMix console: features:uninstall examples-camel-nmr-blueprint 2. Build the example by opening a command prompt, changing directory to examples/camel-nmr (this example) and entering the following Maven command: mvn install If all of the required OSGi bundles are available in your local Maven repository, the example will build quickly. Otherwise it may take some time for Maven to download everything it needs. The mvn install command builds the example deployment bundle and copies it to your local Maven repository and to the target directory of this example. 3. Install the example by entering the following command in the ServiceMix console: features:install examples-camel-nmr-blueprint This command makes use of the ServiceMix features facility. For more information about the features facility, see the README.txt file in the examples parent directory. Once the example is running you should see output similar to the following being logged to the console screen: >>>> Blueprint-NMR-Example set body: Mon Jan 10 09:00:24 CET 2011 >>>> Blueprint-NMR-Example set body: Mon Jan 10 09:00:26 CET 2011 >>>> Blueprint-NMR-Example set body: Mon Jan 10 09:00:28 CET 2011 Stopping and Uninstalling the Example ------------------------------------- To stop the example, first you must know the bundle ID that ServiceMix has assigned to it. To get the bundle ID, enter the following command in the ServiceMix console (Note, the text you are typing will intermingle with the output being logged. This is nothing to worry about.): osgi:list At the end of the listing, you should see an entry similar to the following: [ 185] [Active ] [Created ] [ ] [ 60] Apache ServiceMix :: Features :: Examples :: Camel NMR Blueprint (${project.version}) In this case, the bundle ID is 185. To stop the example, enter the following command in the ServiceMix console: osgi:stop For example: osgi:stop 185 To uninstall the example, enter one of the following commands in the ServiceMix console: features:uninstall examples-camel-nmr-blueprint or osgi:uninstall Viewing the Log Entries ----------------------- You can view the entries in the log file in the data/log directory of your ServiceMix installation, or by typing the following command in the ServiceMix console: log:display
