CXF OSGI Example using Blueprint ================================ A simple example which receives web service calls (via a CXF consumer, using bean binding) and writes these requests into the file system. It's not a very useful use case, but the goal of this example is to show you how you can use the CXF consumer component in an OSGI environment with the OSGI HTTP service. If your target container is Apache Karaf or Apache ServiceMix, you can use PAX Web to setup and start an OSGI HTTP service. All Camel bundles using a Camel CXF consumer can use this HTTP service without needing to start individual Jetty instances. Another advantage is that all provided services can now share the same port. You will need to compile this example first: mvn install To run the example on Apache ServiceMix 4.x or Apache Karaf 2.2.5 or better 1) launch the server karaf.bat Note for Karaf 2.2.5 onwards: a) copy the etc/jre.properties.cxf to override the existing etc/jre.properties file 2) Add features required features:addUrl mvn:org.apache.camel.karaf/apache-camel/${version}/xml/features features:install war features:install cxf features:install camel-jaxb features:install camel-cxf 3) Deploy the example osgi:install -s mvn:org.apache.camel/camel-example-cxf-blueprint/${version} 4) Verify that your service is available using the following url in the browser. We assume you're using Karaf's default PAX Web configuration which uses port 8181 for http. If you would like to use another port or https, change the configuration in ${KARAF_HOME}/etc/org.ops4j.pax.web.cfg. The immediate extension after the hostname and port ("cxf" in the below URL) is configured via the org.apache.cxf.osgi.cfg file (Please see http://team.ops4j.org/wiki//display/paxweb/Pax+Web for more information on PAX Web). http://localhost:8181/cxf/camel-example-cxf-blueprint/webservices/incident?wsdl 5) Start SOAPUI (2.x or later) Create a new project called camel-example-cxf-osgi Point to the following url: http://localhost:8181/cxf/camel-example-cxf-blueprint/webservices/incident?wsdl Open the request 1 (under camel-example-cxf-blueprint --> ReportIncidentBinding --> ReportIncident) and copy/paste a SOAP message generated by the unit test, for example: 111 2011-03-05 Christian Mueller Bla
Bla bla
cmueller@apache.org 0049 69 1234567
6) Check the file system Check the folder "target/inbox/" in the Karaf base directory to see that a message has arrived. This example is described in more detail at http://camel.apache.org/cxf-example-osgi-blueprint.html If you hit any problems please let us know on the Camel Forums http://camel.apache.org/discussion-forums.html Please help us make Apache Camel better - we appreciate any feedback you may have.
