Setting components properties

Before you can generate configuration for your ESB, you need to set properties for each component in your EIP diagram.

To set the component properties:

  1. If the Eclipse Properties view is not open, right-click on the canvas, and select Show properties view.

  2. Select a component.

  3. Go to the Eclipse properties view.

  4. Set at least the required properties and any other properties you require for each component.

Icons and Colors

The icons and their colors in the Properties view have particular signifance.

Icons

Different icons are used for different property types:

Generic value Generic

String value String

Integer value Integer

URL value URL

URI value URI

Boolean value Boolean

QName value QName

Class value Class

File value File

Role value Role

MEP value Message exchange pattern

Namespace value Namespace

Colors

The following colors are used in the properties view:

Exclusive properties

Some properties provide an exclusive choice, allowing you to set only one of its children. Such properties are shown using the following icon: Exclusive property

Missing required properties

Properties that include a required sub-property that has not been set use this icon: Missing required property

Repeatable properties

Some properties are repeatable. In other words, you can add the same property as many time as you need. Each property has its own value.
To add a property, select the repeatable property and click the Add a repeatable property button. A new unset property appears.
To delete a property, select the property and click the Delete the property button.
