Ashwin Karpe updated CAMEL-3285: -------------------------------- Attachment: camel-routebox-20101220.zip routebox.diff Hi All, I have created the routebox component that facilitates encapsulation of routes in a context and exposes the context as a single URI based endpoint called routebox. The Routebox component supports both consumer and producer endpoints. Producer endpoints are capable of sending requests to a consumer endpoint or to directly invoke routes in a Producer embedded context thereby not requiring a consumer. For example a consumer endpoint could be created as from("routebox:multipleRoutes?innerRegistry=#registry&routeBuilders=#routes&dispatchMap=#map") .to("log:Routes operation performed?showAll=true"); A producer endpoint could be created as from("direct:start") .to("routebox:multipleRoutes?sendToConsumer=false&innerContext=#ctx&dispatchStrategy=#strategy") .to("log:Routes operation performed?showAll=true"); The sendToConsumer Query parameter specifies whether producer dispatches to an inner context or an external Routebox consumer. Internally the component supports SEDA and Direct protocol based communication. When a request is sent to the routebox component a user provided RouteboxDispatchStrategy or a HashMap containing Dispatch URI information is used to direct the data to inner routes in a separate inner context. The inner context is fully under the control of the routebox component and is JVM bound. The inner routes may have consumers which can be any of the available camel supported consumer endpoints (ActiveMQ, CXF... etc). I welcome your comments, thoughts & suggestions. Cheers, Ashwin... P.S: I have added requisite unit tests, performed checkstyle sourcecheck(s) and verified everything to be in good working order. I will be committing this version shortly and look forward to your thoughts, suggestions, updates and recommendations. I will apply any recommendations to the trunk as enhancement requests. > Create a new blackbox component which can encapsulate routes using a > specialized ProtocolBuilder endpoint (similar to RouteBuilder) > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CAMEL-3285 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-3285 > Project: Camel > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Ashwin Karpe > Assignee: Ashwin Karpe > Attachments: camel-routebox-20101220.zip, routebox.diff > > > Given below is the discussion forum thread that spawned this thought. > http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Abstracting-Routes-using-Components-td3234703.html#a3234703 > Component requirements: > Need a Camel component (called Backbox, maybe) that can nicely expose a > ProtocolBuilder endpoint that does the following > a> Instantiate route definitions/route(s) configured in Spring or DSL at > startup > b> Launch a Producer or Consumer with a well known protocol(s) so that a > client can invoke it (could be direct or seda initially but could be any > protocol... really) .
