Client app generating messages

[BradS <jr...@mac.com>]

Is there an example of a client app pushing messages onto the servicemix bus
directly?  Say for example you have a desktop app that wants to send a
message to a bus, but doesn't want to talk to a web service, etc, it wants
to directly send the message?

What if the app wants to participate on the bus, as a listener, etc?  Do I
just use the embedded servicemix option?  If so, how do I programatically
add service assemblies and/or units?

You can also utilize the ServiceMix client api
(http://servicemix.apache.org/client-api.html) via the
ServiceMixClientFacade class. This allows any Java app to send
normalized messages directly to the NMR.

L.S.,

For sending message to the ESB from other applications, I usually try to 
leverage the ActiveMQ broker that is embedded in ServiceMix.  This has 
proven to be a very convenient, reliable and fast way to get messages 
over the wire.

If you want to embed ServiceMix inside another application, you do not 
have to use JBI packaging.  It's often easier to use a static 
configuration file for this.  Several of the examples that ship with 
ServiceMix are developed this way (loan-broker, file-binding, 
rss-binding,...), with the servicemix.xml containing the complete 
configuration of all components, routes, ...
