Servlet Tomcat No Spring ExampleAvailable as of Camel 2.11 This example is located in the examples/camel-example-servlet-tomcat-no-spring directory of the Camel distribution. If you use maven then you can easily package the example from the command line:
mvn package
AboutThis example demonstrates how you can create light-weight web applications without the need for Spring Framework. ImplementationIn the web.xml file in the src/main/webapp/WEB-INF folder we have both a CamelServlet and CamelContextListener defined. web.xml <web-app version="2.4" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"> <display-name>My Web Application</display-name> <!-- you can configure any of the properties on CamelContext, eg setName will be configured as below --> <context-param> <param-name>name</param-name> <param-value>MyCamel</param-value> </context-param> <!-- location of Camel route xml files --> <context-param> <param-name>routeBuilder-MyRoute</param-name> <!-- define the routes as a resource from the classpath by prefixing the value with classpath: --> <!-- note: instead of using a XML file we can also define the routes in Java code in a RouteBuilder class --> <param-value>classpath:camel-config.xml</param-value> </context-param> <!-- the listener that kick-starts Camel --> <listener> <listener-class>org.apache.camel.component.servletlistener.JndiCamelServletContextListener</listener-class> </listener> <!-- Camel servlet used in the Camel application --> <servlet> <servlet-name>CamelServlet</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.apache.camel.component.servlet.CamelHttpTransportServlet</servlet-class> <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> </servlet> <!-- Camel servlet mapping --> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>CamelServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/camel/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> </web-app>
The Camel routeThe route is a simple Content Based Router defined in the DSL XML as shown: camel-config.xml <!-- here we have the Camel route(s). --> <!-- we must still use the http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring namespace so Camel can load the routes though Spring JARs is not required --> <routes xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring"> <route> <!-- incoming requests from the servlet is routed --> <from uri="servlet:///hello"/> <choice> <when> <!-- is there a header with the key name? --> <header>name</header> <!-- yes so return back a message to the user --> <transform> <simple>Hello ${header.name} how are you?</simple> </transform> </when> <otherwise> <!-- if no name parameter then output a syntax to the user --> <transform> <constant>Add a name parameter to uri, eg ?name=foo</constant> </transform> </otherwise> </choice> </route> </routes> Running the exampleThis example runs in any web container such as Apache Tomcat. For example to deploy in Apache Tomcat you will have to package the .war file and copy it to the webapp folder of Tomcat, which is the hot deploy folder. Note: You have to use the version number of Camel you use. In this documentation we are using 2.11.0. There is a main page at: http://localhost:8080/camel-example-servlet-tomcat-no-spring-2.11.0 which has more instructions. See Also |
