The next step after playing with the openESB platform in a previous blog entry, more as a user, and look at what it takes to develop a service engine.
I found on the web a tutorial on writing a service engine for ObjectWeb’s Petals.
They give a pre-packaged Hello World service engine.
I tried to install it on top of the openESB starter kit.
It’s quite simple :

  • in the Runtime panel, expand the Sun Java System Application Server node, then the JBI node.
  • right click on the Service Engines node, select Install “New Service Engine”
  • point to the .zip file, and you are done.

Here is the result :

Next step is to understand how to activate the Service Engine, and extend it.
