Project Status

12/01/2011: 

The first-cut of the 2.0 Reference Application is now available ( PatternEnabled.com ). For the emerging 2.0 release we are building out the Reference Application first and modifying SOAj plugins as needed for Reference Application functionality. 

Said another way, the 2.0 release will not be backward compatible and should be available by the Agile and Beyond conference on March 10th.

Getting Started

Building Your General Store with v.1.x
  • Download archive files.
  • Place JAR(s) on classpath.
  • Copy and rename soaj-default.xml to soaj-config.xml and place on the classpath. This ensures your (optional) custom descriptor document is read instead of the default (included in the Core JAR).
  • Modify your custom soaj-config.xml descriptor document as required.
  • Review activation strategies as specified in the SjGeneralStore Javadoc.
  • Create (and run) your unit test.
Plugins Are Not Just for Framework Code

  • Consider building functional application code as plugins.
