Camel Hello World (Spring Version)

Goals

• Discover the difference between the Java and the Spring DSL.

How this project has been created

Generate a new Maven project using the camel-archetype-spring archetype:

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.camel.archetypes -DarchetypeArtifactId=camel-archetype-spring -DarchetypeVersion=2.21.1 -DinteractiveMode=false -DgroupId=fr.itix.camel-examples -DartifactId=hello-world-spring -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT -Dpackage=fr.itix.camel.hello_world_spring

Enter the created directory:

cd hello-world-spring

List the created project structure:

$ find . -type f
pom.xml
src/main/resources/META-INF/spring/camel-context.xml
src/main/resources/log4j2.properties
src/data/message2.xml
src/data/message1.xml

For a simple hello world, we can do a bit of cleanup:

rm -rf src/data

Now, you should have a much smaller repository structure:

$ find . -type f
pom.xml
src/main/resources/META-INF/spring/camel-context.xml
src/main/resources/log4j2.properties

For a first "hello world" example, you can replace the content of camel-context.xml with:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xsi:schemaLocation="
       http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
       http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring/camel-spring.xsd">
  <camelContext xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring">
    <route>
      <from uri="timer:hello?period=1000"/>
      <log message="Hello, world !" />
    </route>
  </camelContext>
</beans>

How to build it

First, make sure you are in the hello-world-spring directory and run:

mvn install

How to use it

Once built, you can run it with:

mvn camel:run

If you followed the instructions, you should have something like this:
