How To Use Generators

Generators are provided within features dedicated to specific generation target. For now, we have :

• Apache Camel support provided by the EIP Designer extension for Apache Camel (com.github.lbroudoux.dsl.eip.camel.feature feature),
• Spring Integration support provided by the EIP Designer extension for Spring Integration (com.github.lbroudoux.dsl.eip.spring.feature feature)
• JBoss SwitchYard support provided by the EIP Designer extension for Switchyard (com.github.lbroudoux.dsl.eip.switchyard.feature feature)

Obviously, you should have installed the corresponding feature to enable generator ;-)

Generators may offer customization through the usage of switches or generation properties. Those properties should be put into a simple file with .properties extension, placed within the same directory as your model (your .eip model file). You may choose to name generation.properties for example.

Apache Camel

This generator allows you to generate a Camel route for each Route defined within your EIP Model. Camel route may be generated using the Java or the Xml DSL offered by Camel.

Launcher

For launching generator just right-click onto your EIP Model and within the EIP Generation menu, choose between Generate Camel Xml or Generate Camel Java.

Switches and properties

Property	Description
camel.xml.generation_target	Generation target for your Xml DSL routes. Pick a value from BASE_SPRING for the generic camelContext syntax, BLUEPRINT for the OSGi compliant syntax or SWITCHYARD when using Camel as an SCA/Switchyard implementation component. Default is BASE_SPRING
camel.java.package_name	The Java package name where your Camel Java routes will be generated. Default is com.example.mydomain.camel.routes

Spring Integration

This generator allows you to generate a Spring Integration context file for each Route defined within your EIP Model. This generator does not support any switch for now.

Launcher

For launching generator just right-click onto your EIP Model and within the EIP Generation menu, pick the Generate Spring sub-menu.

JBoss SwitchYard

This generator bootstraps a full SwitchYard/SCA project from your EIP Model. Such a bootstrap contains:

• SwitchYard/SCA descriptro switchyard.xml with declaration of any Components, Services and References used,
• Camel routes for each Route defined into your EIP Model (delegated to Apache Camel generator).

Launcher

For launching generator just right-click onto your EIP Model and within the EIP Generation menu, pick the Generate Switchyard sub-menu.

Switches and properties

Property	Description
switchyard.composite_name	The name of the SCA composite to generate a descriptor for. Default is switchyard-mydomain
switchyard.composite_namespace	The namespace of the SCA composite to generate a descriptor for. Do not forget versioning information! Default is urn:com.example.switchyard:mydomain:1.0
switchyard.component_impl	Choose between CAMEL_JAVA for generating routes using Java DSL and CAMEL_XML for Xml DSL. Default is CAMEL_XML

Because route generation is delegated to Camel generator, those generator own switches and properties may co-exist into your properties file.
