JBI Runtimes
Check out Philip Dodds' work on Eclipse-based JBI tooling at goopen.org and watch his progress on FUSE tooling at his blog.
Refer to STP tooling proposal on the ObjectWeb's JBI Petals project wiki page [1] Hereunder are the main thoughts related to this proposal ==>
Eclipse plugins There are several types of plugins to be provided in STP to support JBI containers and more specifically Petals for:
- Service Creation
- Service packaging
- Test
- Petals runtime support
Service Creation Some wizards will be provided to create a JBI Service Engine or Binding Component. This wizards will be based on a Binding component and Service Engine framework (including the Message Listener, a service unit manager skeleton, ...)
Tasks to be supported by these wizards are :
- Generation of the component structure - Generation of the deployment descriptors - Generation of the WSDL to be procided to the JBI container by the component - Generation of the Service Unit Manager These wizards will either use a POJO as the base for code generation, or generate an empty class for implementation.
Service packaging A plugin will provide the capability to prepare for the deployment of JBI components, service units and service assemblies to a JBI compliant container:
- Create the jbi deployment descriptor for a component - Create and package a Service unit descriptor - Create and package a Service assembly
Tests The project will provide a Universal Test Client for JBI components. Such a client will be associated with a specific Binding Component and will give the opportunity to test a JBI component deployed on the container.
Typical steps are :
- The test client gets the service WSDL - The plugin generates an interface from the service WSDL to neter parameters - Users can specify some JBI metadata - The plugin sends the message to the client and displys the results
Petals runtime support Some tasks specific to Petals will be provided to :
- Support Petals runtime inside Eclipse for debug purpose - Package and configure Petals distribs by integrating several JBI components with the Petals runtime
