Just a little addition to Willem's answer.
If you need to issue HTTP request on demand (for example once) do not
use HTTP pull consumer, as you don't want to scan the endpoint
continuously. Instead trigger the HTTP enricher [1] on some event.
from(...).enrich("http://...";).to("file://...")
or
from(...).to("http://...";).to("file://...")
Some event sources you might be interested in:
___DIRECT___ [2]
Route:
from("direct:httpRequest").enrich("http://...";)...
Client:
producerTemplate.sendBody("direct:httpRequest", new MyHttpRequest())
___TIMER (ONCE)___ [3]
Route:
from("timer:httpRequestTrigger?repeatCount=1").enrich("http://...";)...
No client code is needed in this case.
___GUAVA EVENT BUS___ [4]
Route:
from("guava-eventbus:httpRequestBus?eventClass=MyHttpRequest").enrich("http://...";)...
Client:
@Inject EventBus httpRequestBus;
...
httpRequestBus.post(new MyHttpRequest())
