How to start with ServiceMix and activeMQ - activemq

I wanted to start with apache ServiceMix and ActiveMQ a larger project that should grow step by step. I have experience with ActiveMQ, camel and tomcat.
Also I have read a lot about ServiceMix, but I am failing by doing the first step that is simple (I think) but not really documented somewhere:
I wanted to start my maven project so that maven will deploy my project into a standard ServiceMix installation where the first thing is only to add the following configuration the ActiveMQ of ServiceMix:
<transportConnectors>
<transportConnector name="mqtt+nio" uri="mqtt+nio://localhost:1883"/>
</transportConnectors>
My expectation is that I could do it in the same way as I deploy tomcat projects to a Tomcat container.
How can I do thais (directory structure, maven pom) - or is it impossible?

If you like to deploy your bundle to standalone ServiceMix, you can copy file of your created bundle to $KARAF_HOME/deploy folder. This can be done using maven.
More information about deployers can be found here: http://karaf.apache.org/manual/latest-3.0.x/users-guide/deployers.html
You can use camel-maven-plugin for debugging from IDE http://camel.apache.org/camel-maven-plugin.html

Log4J Application Specific Configuration file in Weblogic

My setup includes a weblogic 12c server which hosts several applications. The application which i am writing has log4j configuration property with appenders that are specific to this application. I have packaged the property in app EAR and deployed it to weblogic.
I want the log4j setup in weblogic to pull configuration from this property file. Will i still need a global configuration file put in inside the domain root folder? . The thing that confuses me is, why do i need to have log4j configuration in domain root if i already have it inside the application ( while i load using PropertyConfigurator) .
I did copy the log4j and wllog jars to domain/lib but i am not happy with copying anything to server directories since i want this to be driven by the deployed EAR.
I am new to Weblogic so might be something obvious. Tried several links on the web but none of them answers my question. I have been referring to this thread for the setup. https://community.oracle.com/thread/1063248
Make sure log4j jar is in APP-INF/lib
Make sure your log4j config file is in the root classpath for the ear (APP-INF/classes)
If you don't have one already, add a weblogic-application.xml (see http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24329_01/web.1211/e24368/app_xml.htm#WLPRG389) to your META-INF directory at the EAR level, and in there include a prefer-application-packages element with package-name of org.apache.log4j

Intellij IDEA: Server Configuration cannot be run cause file does not yet exist. Use maven goal result as artifact?

until now I deployed to a Glassfish server with the default IntelliJ artifact "Web Application: Archive". Now my built process got a bit more complicated with maven modifying several files.
In the glassfish configuration under Deployment, I substituted the Artifact to deploy with the direct war file and put the maven goal in "Before Launch: Another Configuration"
However, if mvn clean was run the war does not exist and I cannot run the configuration (because the external file doesn't exist).
Can I avoid having to run mvn package once manually? E.g. by making the output of a maven goal an Artifact?
Thanks!

Glassfishv3 not adding jars in ear to the classpath

I have been working on this problem for one whole day but in vain without any effective solution.
I have an ear file packaged with an ejb and a handful of jar files (including hibernate and the other dependent jar files).The ejb is stateless and enabled as a web service.
The ear file has been packaged using maven and has the below structure
ear->projectrelatedejb.jar
->hibernate.jar
->otherdependent. jar
->META-INF/application.xml
->META-INF/manifest.mf
The application.xml and manifest file are automatically generated by maven when I do a package.
When I deploy this ear file on glassfish it gets deployed with the ejb methods being accessible using web services. However when accessing the application (using soapui),
the ejb methods that perform some database functionality using hibernate throw java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError for the hibernate api during runtime.
It is obvious from the error that the hibernate jars are not on the classpath during runtime but since the jars are within the ear Glassfish should have
added it to the application classpath.
I tried various options like adding the classpath entries to the manifest.mf during the package (by using the element addClasspath with the maven-ear-plugin) which didn't do any good.Also with Glassfish we cannot add the dependent jars as modules to the application.xml unless the jars are application client jars
(Glassfish wouldn't deploy the ear file if the application.xml has the dependent jars declared as modules).
I also tried placing the jars in the lib directory within the ear (which isn't actually required) and with the manifest Class-Path header referencing the jars in the lib directory which also didn't fix the problem.
The quick and dirty fix which I can do to get this working is to place the hibernate and the other the dependent jars in Glassfish's lib directory.However,this is a bad practice
and I am somewhat reluctant to do it.
I would really appreciate if someone can provide me with a working solution to this problem.I have gone through the net looking for this problem
but couldn't find any solution.
Wondering if its a bug with glassfish or does glassfish need something special to reference the jars in an ear.
Thanks in advance.
I found a similar problem which is discussed here: http://www.tricoder.net/blog/?p=59.
Simply put, try putting the libraries in EAR/lib directory and according to JEE5 spec, glassfish will add them to class path automatically.
I used Server Library option to deploy application JARs and it worked for me.
Right click on your EAR-> Properties -> Libraries-> Add Library -> Create -> give name and change type in Library Type to Server Libraries then add JARs that should be deployed and confirm.
I work with NetBeans 7.0.1 and GlassFish server 3.1
When you say you added classpath entries to manifest.mf, which manifest.mf do you refer to? The one in ear-root/META-INF/manifest.mf ? Try adding a META-INF/MANIFEST.MF to your ejb module with Class-Path entries!

How does Intellij deploy to JBoss?

I finally have my application in IntelliJ and deploying to JBoss. I'd like to get hot deploy working but it looks like I need to understand how IntelliJ and JBoss interact.
When I build my project in IntelliJ and then start JBoss, the ear file does not appear in the deploy directory so I assume that there is some magic that IntelliJ does so that JBoss reads from a different folder. What is happening during this step?
Thanks :)
I know this is an old and apparently answered question, but unfortunately the links provided in the accepted answer didn't give me the simple details I was looking for. For anyone also trying to understand how IntelliJ IDEA deploys your exploded war to JBoss without copying files to the deployments folder, here's what I've found while deploying locally from IDEA 14 (EAP) to JBoss 7.1.1.Final:
After you've created an "exploded war" artifact for your project (or it has automatically been created for you), IDEA will build your provided sources and place the output in the directory set in the artifact options (you can change this setting to place the output inside the deployments folder inside your jboss installation).
IDEA will update your JBoss configuration file (/standalone/configuration/standalone.xml) and add a "deployment" node inside the deployments section. This entry simply defines a name, a runtime name and the exploded war root folder for your project, which will point to the output directory of your artifact set in IDEA.
When JBoss is started (either manually or from your run/debug configuration in IDEA), it will automatically deploy your artifact. Be warned that if your files are in the output directory of your project and you clean it, JBoss will still try to find the directory, thus encountering errors in your next attempt to start it: org.jboss.as.server.deployment.DeploymentUnitProcessingException: Failed to mount deployment content, Failed to process phase STRUCTURE of deployment and java.io.FileNotFoundException to name a few.
Please refer to the documentation.
Basically, you need an exploded Artifact configuration with the directory name ending with .ear.
Build | Make performs hot deployment as well as Update action (which is configurable and can update only resources, resources and classes, optionally redeploy or restart the server).
Instead of copying your application to JBoss, IDEA runs it with appropriate parameters so that it uses Artifact directory instead. Configuration is very flexible and you can just change the artifact directory location to reside under JBoss directory.

How to deploy a WAR onto an existing Tomcat 6 instance using Cargo?

I installed Tomcat using the Windows installer ages ago and it runs fine as a service on my development laptop. Now I'm mavenising my project and would like to use Cargo (or something similar) to deploy updated WARs onto the local Tomcat.
I can't find any fully worked examples of a POM file containing the right XML to do this and am struggling with the partial examples on the Cargo site.
Does anyone have a POM they can post or know of an example in the wild they can link to?
FWIW the error I get is this - though I've tried many different combinations of parameters:
Cannot create configuration. There's
no registered configuration for the
parameters (container [id =
[tomcat6x], type = [local]],
configuration type [existing]).
Actually there are no valid types
registered for this configuration.
Maybe you've made a mistake spelling
it?
I'm not even sure I know exactly what the error means by a "type" in the first place!
Update: I eventually found the m2eclipse WTP integration plugin, which frankly rocks!
Is there a reason to use just cargo?
You can try the maven tomcat plugin in order to deploy your wars to tomcat. See the instructions about configuration and deployment.
