mbean to bean conversion guide

[starksm64]

I started a wiki page for converting an mbean deployment to an mc bean deployment. Its referenced by the mc faq. Try to update these as conversion questions come in.

What about some tool to do this? :-)

[starksm64]

its called eclipse.

Any guideline (as a new wiki page) on how exactly you do this - in Eclipse?
I'll check then if something similar exists in IDEA.

The wiki I referenced is the guide. In any ide, open your x-service.xml, create a x-beans.xml and follow the conversion logic.

OK, thought I was missing something more advanced. :-)

Is there some other 'fancy' way of doing this?
e.g.

ServiceDeployment sd = readSD("my-service.xml");
Transformer t = new Service2BeanJAXBTransformer();
KernelDeployment kd = t.transform(KernelDeployment.class, sd);
write("my-beans.xml", kd);

Having this with JAXB should be easy, right?
Probably just providing some mapping of service elements to beans elements?

And pushing this stuff into various plugins (plain Java.main, Eclipse, IDEA, Netbeans, ...) would not be bad either. ;-)

What about using something like Smooks - the stuff that ESB guys use to do all sorts of transformations?

All possible, but it should be described first, and then whatever obfuscated encoding of that knowledge we want to create can be done as needed.
