[stp-pmc] Contributions to support JBI and especially Petals
|
Title: Message
Hi
all,
Here is the description of ObjectWeb's contributions in
Eclipse STP to support JBI
Cheers,
Alain
PS : I would like to write it directly to the website,
but need some help
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
