Overview
Fuse Fabric is a runtime environment that leverages capabilities of Apache Karaf, the container underlying JBoss Fuse, to provide centralized configuration and provisioning capabilities. In brief, Fuse Fabric provides the ability to create container instances running locally or remotely, including on cloud environments like Amazon EC2 and Rackspace. You can then create and apply Profiles that define what OSGi bundles and associated configurations (name / value pairs) to apply to each managed container.
Management Console provides a web-based user interface to make it easier to interact with Fuse Fabric than Fabric’s provided command-line interface.
Prerequisites
- Maven 3.0.3 or higher
- JDK 1.6 or 1.7
- JBoss Fuse 6
Installing the Management Console
- Start JBoss Fuse 6 by running
bin/fuse(on Linux) orbin\fuse.bat(on Windows). - In the JBoss Fuse console, enter the following command to install the
fabric-webuifeature:JBossFuse:karaf@root> features:install fabric-webui - Once the server has started, open a webbrowser an go to the Management Console interface.
Logging into the Management Console
Open a web browser and go to the Management Console interface.
Click the
Create button if this is your first time running and configure a Username, Password and an optional ZooKeeper Password for the ensemble server. Since we're only going to use the local system to host our containers, you can skip the other fields.
Click the
Create button and log in with your brand new credentials. If you where only provided with a login option instead of the regastration form, the default user is admin with password amdin.
Once you're logged in you can see the tab-bar at the top, the list of containers on the left and some container information on the right.
Creating Profiles
Profiles have an inheritance concept where parent profile’s configuration and bundles are applied fully before the child profiles. It is a good practice to create parent profiles for common configurations shared across your applications. Using parent profiles can also help ensure dependent bundles are fully deployed before child profile bundles. To be clear, Fuse Fabric only has a single concept called Profile, and they act as parent or child purely based on their relationship to other profiles, that is when you create a profile you can specify zero of more other profiles (which may also have parent profiles) to be the parent of the profile you are creating.
Select the
Profiles tab, and push the Create Profile button on upper right. You will be prompted to enter a name, and select zero or more Parent Profiles.
It is recommended to create a base profile for your project wich has the
camel and the karaf profile as his parent. Then create a child bundle of this base for each feature or each independend group of bundles (Do not forget to point to your base bundle as a parent).Adding a feature to a profile
In most cases, a project is divided into features which can be installed by using
features:install featurename. These features are usually a good fit for creating profiles.
To edit the a profile's settings, select the profile from the profiles list in the profiles tab. Head to the
Repositories tab and add the maven url of the features file (for example: mvn:org.fusesource.example.examplename/modulename/0.0.1-SNAPSHOT/xml/features)
Browse to the
Features tab and select the repository you just added. The defined features from features file will appear at the bottom. Add a feature to the profile by clicking the + button on the right.
Repeat this for each of the child profiles you created.
Adding a bundle to a profile
If you want to add individual bundles to a profile, select the profile from the profiles list in the profiles tab. Head to the
Bundles tab and add the maven url of the bundle (for example:mvn:org.fusesource.example.examplename/modulename/0.0.1-SNAPSHOT/)
Repeat this for each of the bundles you want to add to the profile.
Creating Containers
Fuse Fabric allows you to create managed Containers to which you can deploy one or more profiles. A managed Container is initially a minimal Apache Karaf instance with a Fuse Fabric agent bundle deployed.
Select the
Containers tab, and press the Create Container button. You will be prompted to enter a name for the container.
Press
Next in the lower right. You will then be prompted to select the zero or more Profiles to initial provision the container with. Select one or more profiles you created, and press Next.
At the next form leave the defaults for now, and press
Next and then Finish.
At this point, it will create a new Container instance, and initially provision it with the profile you selected. In the upper right of the Container tab, you can select the
Detail button to see more information on the deployed Container, including drilling into seeing the deployed Camel routes.
To deploy extra profiles to a bundle, push the
Add Profiles button with your created Container, and add the containers by selecting them from the list.
To deploy an entire project, add all the profiles to one container or create multiple containers and divide the profiles amongst them. Most bundles or features can communicate between containers out of the box but some might need a few changes to lookup each other's endpoints.
