Having the following working Camel flow setup in a ServletContextListener in a Web project running on IBM WebSphere, an incoming XML is converted to JSON and printed to the System.out and printed to the report.txt. So far so good.
@WebListener
public class SetupCamel implements ServletContextListener {
private CamelContext camelContext;
@Override
public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent sce) {
System.out.println("SetupCamel:contextInitialized - enter");
try {
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
QueueConnectionFactory qcf = (QueueConnectionFactory) ctx.lookup("jms/TestConnectionFactory");
camelContext = new DefaultCamelContext();
JmsConfiguration jmsConfiguration = new JmsConfiguration(qcf);
JmsComponent jmsComponent = new JmsComponent(jmsConfiguration);
camelContext.addComponent("jms", jmsComponent);
final XmlJsonDataFormat xmlJsonFormat = new XmlJsonDataFormat();
xmlJsonFormat.setEncoding("UTF-8");
xmlJsonFormat.setForceTopLevelObject(false);
xmlJsonFormat.setTrimSpaces(true);
xmlJsonFormat.setRootName("newRoot");
xmlJsonFormat.setSkipNamespaces(true);
xmlJsonFormat.setRemoveNamespacePrefixes(true);
camelContext.addRoutes(new RouteBuilder() {
public void configure() {
onException(Exception.class)
.to("log:GeneralError?level=ERROR")
.end();
from("jms:queue:TestQueue?concurrentConsumers=1")
.marshal(xmlJsonFormat)
.to("file:/tmp/messages?fileName=report.txt&fileExist=Append")
.to("stream:out")
;
}
});
camelContext.start();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
System.out.println("SetupCamel:contextInitialized - leaving");
}
@Override
public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent sce) {
System.out.println("SetupCamel:contextDestroyed - enter");
try {
if (camelContext != null) {
camelContext.stop();
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
System.out.println("SetupCamel:contextDestroyed - leaving");
}
}
I have to extend the flow to POST the JSON to a REST service/consumer. (The Rest resource is tested and works..)
Searching (web)documentation doesn't give me a good/complete Java DSL example that I'm able to use. Based upon what I did find, I think it should be something similar to adding a endpoint like:
.to("cxfrs://http://localhost:9080/WebContext/TestResource")
But this doesn't work and I don't understand how to set the converted JSON as body and make it a POST request. There is also no exception printed.
How can I add the REST call as a POST with JSON body in this flow ?

Thanks.
If you just want to post the JSON message to the REST service, you don't need to use camel-cxfrs component, as you already has the request message body, you just need to use camel-http endpoint to send the request.
So the route could be
from("jms:queue:TestQueue?concurrentConsumers=1")
.marshal(xmlJsonFormat)
.to("http://localhost:9080/WebContext/TestResource");
