Re: [forge-dev] trying to close the gap on a SwitchYard demo

Hey Dan, Thanks for putting these notes together. Very useful and I will definitely slap this into an article in the SwitchYard community. One small change to the steps you've used: This is not necessary and I'll tell you why in one sec ... I left out an important detail in my prior email, which is that the target component for these references should be the Greeting service component. A service reference is essentially documentation of a dependency on another service (e.g. @Inject in a bean, import … in a Java class, etc.). So in this case, you want to add the references to the component which is calling the service(s). Modifying your instructions, it should look like this: switchyard add-reference --referenceName Hello --interfaceType java --interface org.example.greeting.Hello --componentName Greeting switchyard add-reference --referenceName Goodbye --interfaceType java --interface org.example.greeting.Goodbye --componentName Greeting The reason why it works with your original commands is that there's a bug (which you uncovered ;-) ) where service references are shared across all service components in an application. So even though you were defining the service reference on the Hello service component, the Greeting service component was able to resolve the same reference at runtime. This also required you to add the extra component definitions to switchyard.xml in order to add the reference to them. Bottom line is that if you use the modified commands above, it will still work and you won't have to muck with the XML at all. Here's the JIRA for the bug: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SWITCHYARD-915 cheers, keith
