Platform Http Main
Since Camel 4.0
The camel-platform-http-main is an embedded HTTP server for camel-main standalone applications.
The embedded HTTP server is using VertX from the camel-platform-http-vertx dependency.
Enabling
The HTTP server for camel-main is disabled by default, and you need to explicitly enable this by setting camel.server.enabled=true in application.properties.
Auto-detection from classpath
To use this implementation all you need to do is to add the camel-platform-http-main dependency to the classpath. Then, the platform http component should auto-detect this.
Uploading and downloading files
The embedded HTTP server comes with a set of features out of the box (management, development and user services), that can be enabled.
These features are as follows:
-
/- Serving static content such as html, javascript, css, and images to make it easy to embed very small web applications. -
/observe/info- Report basic information about Camel -
/observe/health- Health checks -
/observe/jolokia- To use Jolokia to expose JMX over HTTP REST -
/observe/metrics- To provide OTEL metrics in prometheus format -
/q/dev- Developer console that provides a lot of statistics and information -
/q/upload- Uploading source files, to allow hot reloading. -
/q/download- Downloading source files, to allow inspecting -
/q/send- Sending messages to the Camel application via HTTP
You configure these features in the application.properties file using the camel.server.xxx and camel.management.xxx options.
