Introduction

The targeted reader for this article is for architects and developers who want to use JBoss Service Workss as integration platform. JBoss Service Works (JSW) is build on top of JBoss EAP and JBoss Fuse, together with Apache projects like Apache Camel, Apache CXF, Apache ActiveMQ, etc. I will focus on the new functionalities provided by JSW.

Installation

Installation Document can be found at this link Unfortunately, this document is not well written. I will provide simplest instructions here for those who are not patient to read all the sections of the document.

download Red Hat JBoss Fuse Service Works jar file from here.
creade dir such as JBoss-FSW
copy the jar file JBoss-FSW
execute: java -jar jboss-fsw-installer-6.0.0.GA-redhat-4.jar
enter all passwords as admin123!

If you encounter any problem during installation, make sure your JAVA_HOME is set to jdk1.7.0_67 or later one. See this article

Start the FSW

To start the server, do the following:

cd $JBOSS_HOME/bin
./standalone.sh -c standalone-full.xml

In a network environment, you may have to use the following command in order to allow the access to the admin console within the network.

./standalone.sh -b 0.0.0.0 -bmanagement 0.0.0.0 -c standalone-full.xml

If the FSW started properly, you should see the following line in the stdout:
13:27:16,823 INFO [org.jboss.as] (Controller Boot Thread) JBAS015951: Admin console listening on http://127.0.0.1:9990

The default page can accessed via: http://localhost:8080. On this page, you can click the link "Administration Console", login as

User Name: admin
Password: admin123!

If you have used JBoss EAP, this admin console page should be familiar to you. JBoss FSW added SwitchYard tab as shown in the following diagram: [note: I have deployed remote-invoker application. I will cover this later]

Important Server Information

Once you start the server, you should see the following information
