In + addition you'll get to know with how E= SB Editor uses combined + visual and source editing of esb files. + +
+ + ESB File Editor + ESB File Editor is a = powerful and customizable tool. ESB File + Editor allows developing an application using ESB technology.<= /para> + + ESB file editor has two tabs: Tree and Source. + + You can switch to Tree. The Tree view for the editor display= s all ESB artifacts in a + tree format. By selecting any node you can see and edit its pr= operties which will appear + in the right-hand area. For example, a Provider: +
+ Tree View + + + + + +
+ + You can easily switch from Tree to Source by selecting the S= ource tab at the bottom of + the editor and work in Source view= . + +
+ Source View + + + + + +
+ + The Source view for the editor displays a text content of th= e ESB file. It is always + synchronized with Tree view, so any changes made in one of the + views will immediately appear in the other. + + No matter what view you select, you get full integration wit= h Outline + view. For example, you can work in the Source view = with the help of the + Outline view. The Outline view shows a tree structure of the E= SB file. Simply select any + element in the Outline view and it will jump to the same place in + the Source editor, so you can navigate through the source code= with Outline view. +
+ Outline View + + + + + +
+ + Adding, editing or deleting of some artifacts operations are= available right in the + Tree view . Right-c= lick any node and select one of the + available actions in the context menu. For example, you can ea= sily add a new Provider: + +
+ Adding New Provider + + + + + +
+ + You can easily add a new Service too: +
+ Adding New Service + + + + + +
+ + The same way you can create a listener for service and other= elements of ESB: +
+ Adding New Listener for Service + + + + + +
+ The same actions can be done in the right part of Tree view tab + (Form editor) using Add= , Edit and + Remove buttons. + + + In order to add a new generic Action to your ESB XML file yo= u should select the + Actions node under the Services, then right-click and choose <= emphasis> + New > Generic Action. + +
+ Adding New Action in the Tree View + + + + + +
+ + Or instead make use of + Add... + button in the Form edi= tor on the left. +
+ Adding New Action in the Form Editor + + + + + +
+ + As you can see on the bath figures above, the context menu w= ill also prompt you to + insert one of the Actions that are supplied out-of-the-box wit= h JBoss + ESB. After choosing one an appeared New Action wizard + will ask you to fill out a name field and other fields specifi= c for each Action + property. For example, for + Content Based Router + Action the wizard looks as follows: + +
+ New Action Wizard + + + + + +
+ + After confirming creating the Action you can see it in the T= ree under the + Actions + node and preview as well as edit its settings in t= he Form + editor on the left. + +
+ Form Editor for Content Based Router + + + + + +
+ + ESB editor can recogn= ize some specific objects. On the figure you + can see org.jboss.soa.esb.actions.ContentBasedRouter= in the + Class + section. + +
+ +
+ + ESB Editors Features + JBoss ESB tooling ha= s powerful editor features that help you easily make use of + content and code assist. + This last chapter covers capabilities on how you can use ESB editor. + +
+ + ESB syntax validation + When working in JBoss ESB ed= itor you are constantly provided + with feedback and contextual error checking as you type. I= n the Source viewer, if at + any point a tag is incorrect or incomplete, an error will = be indicated next to the + line and also in the Problems = view below. +
+ +
+ Support for XML Schema + + JBoss ESB Framework fully s= upports XML files based on + schemas as well as DTDs. +
+ + + +
+ + Content Assist for ESB XML file + + When you work with any ESB XML file Content Assist is + available to help you. It provides pop-up tip to help you = complete your code + statements. It allows you to write your code faster and wi= th more accuracy. Content + assist is always available in the Source mode.

+ + Synchronized Source and Visual Editing + + ESB file can be edited in either source or extra visual = modes at the same time. + + JBoss Tools provide you two different editors to speed y= our development: a + graphical view (Tree) and source (Source). + At the same time, you always have full control over esb so= urce file. Any changes you + make in the source view will immediately appear in the tre= e view. Both views are + synchronized, you can edit the file in any view. + +
