Instead of using choice you can use recipientList and then build the URL on the fly. This will take care of at least resolving which REST service to invoke.
Your route will look something like this. from("servlet:///?matchOnUriPrefix=true") .process(customProcessor) .recipientList(header("restUrl")) Custom processor can be modified to build the restUrl. Though following example values are hardcoded, you can make these generic/configurable. In this example, there is just one pattern but you can have many patterns and decide which ones match and then proceed. String urlReceived = "/client/1232/?resourceId=3243"; String patternString = "/(\\w*)/(\\d*)/\\?(\\w*)=(\\w*)"; Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(patternString); Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(urlReceived); if ( matcher.matches()) { System.out.println(matcher.group(1) + ":" + matcher.group(3)+":"+matcher.group(4)); } // build your urlToSend from above matcher values. exchange.getIn().setHeader("restUrl", urlToSend); -Ravi -----Original Message----- From: mnusry [mailto:mnu...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 28, 2014 7:37 AM To: users@camel.apache.org Subject: Routing on REST URL patterns I am struggling to get the following going, I want to route REST url patterns to different services based on the URL pattern, Ideally I would like to, based on different REST url patterns combine results from different services as well and forward the result to the calling service. The part I am struggling is where I need to find the URL of the incoming request (CamelHttpUri) and match it against different patterns to identify which REST service should be invoked based on the URL and forward it to that REST service and return the returned result. (Simple URLS without parameters are fine, but if parameters/query parameter are included this doesn't work) eg: i have modules as follows, Service REST Urls Clint Service - /client/1232/?resourceId=1222, /client/1 , /client/32342/resource, /patner/add, /client/add Resource Service - /resource/1, /resource/add, /resource/2342/client, /resource/23432/?clientId=2342 Finance Service - /price/resource/2, /resourceprice/32323?clientId=109 so different services have different REST patterns, Currently I can handle static REST patterns, but when parameters or query parameters get introduced it seems I need to find a different strategy. When the request comes to the router module based on the Request URL it has to be routed to the relevant service, I should be able to add more REST urls to the relevant module later as well. I have done as follows for simple REST URLs but for "/client/1232/?resourceId=3243" how do I match and forward to relevant module ? Is there a better way of doing this ? I have RouteBuilder and a CustomProcessor which does the following, CustomProcessor --> public class CustomProcessor implements Processor { public void process(Exchange exchange) throws Exception { // Note: the last uRL pattern doesnt work String a = "/client/,/patner/add, /client/add,/client/*/?resourceId=*"; String b = System.getProperty("B_REST_URLS"); String c = System.getProperty("C_REST_URLS"); exchange.getIn().setHeader("ARestURN", a); exchange.getIn().setHeader("BRestURN", b); exchange.getIn().setHeader("CRestURN", c); exchange.getOut().setHeaders(exchange.getIn().getHeaders()); exchange.getOut().setBody(exchange.getIn().getBody(String.class), String.class); } } RouteBuilder class --> @Override public void configure() throws Exception { String AUrl = System.getProperty("A_URL"); String BUrl = System.getProperty("B_URL"); String CUrl = System.getProperty("C_URL"); from("servlet:///?matchOnUriPrefix=true") .process(customProcessor) .choice() .when(simple("${in.headers.ARestURN} contains ${in.headers.CamelHttpUri}")) .to("http4://" + AUrl + "?bridgeEndpoint=true&throwExceptionOnFailure=false") .when(simple("${in.headers.BRestURN} contains ${in.headers.CamelHttpUri}")) .to("http4://" + BUrl + "?bridgeEndpoint=true&throwExceptionOnFailure=false") .when(simple("${in.headers.CRestURN} contains ${in.headers.CamelHttpUri}")) .to("http4://" + CUrl + "?bridgeEndpoint=true&throwExceptionOnFailure=false") .otherwise() .to("http4://" + DUrl + "?bridgeEndpoint=true&throwExceptionOnFailure=false"); } Note System properties are defined so that it is easy to add more url patterns and make things configurable a little. -- View this message in context: http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Routing-on-REST-URL-patterns-tp5746514.html Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
