Hi Christian,

The default exchange pattern of camel-cxf component is InOut, but for the camel-jms consumer it just receive message from message queue. If you want send the response message back , you have to put the message to the response queue, just like this

from("jms:myqueue").choice()
.when(xpath("//namespace=service1namespace")).to("cxf:mybeanname:myEndpointName").to("jms:responsequeue")
.when(xpath("//namespace=service2namespace")).to("cxf:mybeanname2:myEndpointName2").to("jms:responsequeue")
.otherwise().to("jms:deadletterqueue")

BTW, If you alway want to let CXF take care of the service publishing work, you could use camel transport which will be more effective than the local transport.
Here are  the example[1] and document[2]

Hi Willem,

the entry point to my route should be a listener on a queue. I imaginged to achieve this either by using the jms component or the cxf component. The client will calling my route will set the reply-to property of the jms message. So I guess this property will have to be forwarded through the whole route so when the exchange arrives back at the start the component will know where to send the reply.

Does the jms or cxf component support the reply-to property and will it be forwarded through the whole route?

I want to publish my services with local transport as they should not be reachable directly from the outside. The only access point should be the camel route. This will of course be reachable from the outside. So I guess using the local tranport for the cxf endpoints should be ok as far as I know.

Best regards,

Christian

Hi Christian,

I think camel could help you to do the most content base routing work.
Here are some thing I should point out.
1. You need to specify the reply destination of the jms endpoint or you can't get the response message from the cxf endpoint. 2. If you want to publish the cxf service through the local transport , your service can only be accessible for the client in the same JVM.

Since I don't know much about osgi, but for the thread of cxf client, it dependent on the calling thread, if the jms consumer in the camel context is run by a single thread, it's the single thread.

Hi,

I am building webservice adapters for a legacy system. The system can be accessed with a java api but is not multi threaded. So my problem is that I want to offer several services in one process and still make sure only one service is called at a time. To make this scalable I will then run this process several
times on the same and different machines.

I also would like to make management of this system as easy as possible. Ideally I would like this process to be a kind of application server where I can install and deinstall services while it is running. Still they should listen on one queue and work single threaded. I imagined doing this with an osgi server. The problem is that probably then each bundle will have it´s own cxf and they are not single threaded anymore.

I have already asked this question on the cxf list and got an idea on how a solution could look.

The idea is to publish the services with a local endpoint only. I could the create a route the listens on jms in camel. This route would then figure out what local endpoint the request should go to and invokes it. Then it forwards the reply back to jms. It could find the correct endpoint either by analysing the namespace of the xml or by using ws addressing. The only thing is I do not know exactly how to implement this.

I think I will have to use the jms component and the cxf component for the ends of the route. But how do I do the routing? I could imagine a content based router that figures out what cxf endpoint to forward to via xpath.

from("jms:myqueue").choice()
.when(xpath("//namespace=service1namespace")).to("cxf:mybeanname:myEndpointName") .when(xpath("//namespace=service2namespace")).to("cxf:mybeanname2:myEndpointName2")
.otherwise().to("jms:deadletterqueue")

The xpath expression is not correct. I will have to look up how to do this. Does the rest sound ok to you?

Will a configuration like this work in osgi where each service is a separate bundle?

Best regards

Christian
