How to vizualize spring integration file in intellij idea 14?

Question

On the page https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/whatsnew/ it is said that Intellij Idea 14 has got a visual diagrams for spring integration.

But I can't find how to visualize my integration xml file.

(right click on file)/Diagrams/Show Diagram... shows a diagram with links between the beans. It is not very usefull.

Spring Integration Patterns plugin is enabled

I have Intellij Idea installed on a computer without access to the internet. May it be the reason why the diagrams are not working properly?

Answer 1

What do you want to see there?

For example.

We have stomp-chat sample: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-integration-samples/tree/master/applications/stomp-chat

And here is a diagram for this config: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-integration-samples/blob/master/applications/stomp-chat/src/main/resources/org/springframework/integration/samples/chat/stomp/server/stomp-server.xml

I'd say that it is OK, however I agree that it would better if I'd provide id attribute for all components.

Of course, Spring Integration Patterns plugin has to be switched on.

"Please make sure the XML file is correctly configured in Spring context setup via Spring facet. It requires spring-integration-core to be in module dependency of selected XML file."

Answer 3

I had the same problem, and found that in addition to having the Spring facet enabled, and having the spring-integration-core dependency and having the relevant context file set as an application context under the facet, you also need to have just the containing module open. i.e. the stomp-chat spring-integration sample provides the "Spring Integration" diagram option if it is opened from its own pom.xml, however if you open the parent applications\pom.xml then the "Spring Integration" diagram option is not available, regardless of facets etc.
