Fwd: Apache Camel Routing and Apache CXF Rest with Proxy

[Bhavesh Mistry]

Hi All,



I am new to Apache Camel and trying to solve following problem with routing:



I have CXF JAX-RS based REST Service implemented and deployed in same JVM
(end-point).



I have another set of REST Service that is not within same Java Process it
is in (python or any other Process but on same host).





We have unified port to access both services,  for example,



Client call ----> HTTP Rest call (*8080*) -----  Camel Route(  if(“/java_api/”
---->  to(http://localhost:*9090*) else { to (http://localhost:9091 (OLD
Services)}





     <cxf:rsServer id="javaRestServer" address="
http://localhost:9090/java_api";

         loggingFeatureEnabled="true"

         serviceClass="…." >

         <cxf:providers>

              <ref bean="jaxbProvider" />

              <ref bean="jsonProvider" />

         </cxf:providers>

         <cxf:serviceBeans>

              <ref bean="myService"/>

         </cxf:serviceBeans>

     </cxf:rsServer>





The problem with this approach is there is unnecessary http call for Java
API(java_api) route since it is already locally hosted and we do not want
to incur HTTP call.



This has been done to set-up all the CXF context and be able to server REST
service.



So, my questions are:



1) 1) Is there any way to setup route to call cxf local binding JAX-RS
(direct call) rather then http call for Java API ?

2) 2) How can I configure route such a way so HTTP Proxy headers  (e.g
*X-Forwarded-For
*) gets passed to old Service API ? Since, Java Layer is indeed acting as
proxy server.


Thanks in advance for your help !


Thanks,
