Thanks for your response. I think i got it. Let me state it to confirm, then I have a follow up question.
So the /.to(<endpoint-type>:<URL-of-endpoint-API>)/ establishes a contract with Camel that a) the /endpoint-type/ defines the message format among other things required by the endpoint; and b) the /URL-of-endpoint-API/ establishes where the service is located and any other arguments that the service generally requires. As such, in this one-way case, there is no need for Camel on the HDFS side, since, from HDFS's point of view, it's just getting a normal web API call. Correct? *Here's my follow up.* What if I want the HDFS server to reply back to the calling server to say "ok i'm done and i failed/succeeded"? Assuming for the moment that there is no such thing on the remote side, how would one use Camel to facilitate not just the sending of the message to the API, but a response from the API saying it's done? Is that a case where one would want Camel on the remote server? thank you. -- View this message in context: http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Super-basic-questions-tp5746261p5746275.html Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
