Hi Willem, hi all, thank you for your support, I wanted to avoid to throw an exception, because then I have to handle it in order to return proper payload (I want empty payload if the user is not authenticated) in the response.
I've maybe found a different approach that I am now investigating: As I am processing the message in a custom Processor (who both performs authentication and checks authorization), I've discovered that I can stop the processing in the Processor by setting a property on the exchange: exchange.setProperty(Exchange.ROUTE_STOP, Boolean.TRUE); So if the message is not authorized, I first set the body to my empty body (I set to a Collections.emptyList() ) and then stop it. The Junit tests now are working, I now integrate it to check if there are other issues. Feedback on the approach of using "Exchange.ROUTE_STOP" is welcome :-) Bye, Cristiano Il giorno gio 16 apr 2015 alle ore 17:19 Willem Jiang < willem.ji...@gmail.com> ha scritto: > I think you can just throw out the authentication failure exception and > you can use the error handler to setup some kind of reject exception for > the response to use. > > -- > Willem Jiang > > Red Hat, Inc. > Web: http://www.redhat.com > Blog: http://willemjiang.blogspot.com (English) > http://jnn.iteye.com (Chinese) > Twitter: willemjiang > Weibo: 姜宁willem > > > > On April 16, 2015 at 4:15:38 PM, Cristiano Costantini ( > cristiano.costant...@gmail.com) wrote: > > Hello, > > > > I was searching to implement a "Pipes and Filter" EIP that, as the > picture > > illustrated in http://camel.apache.org/pipes-and-filters.html, it has a > > step that "Authenticates" the exchange. > > > > I have not however figured out how to manage a failed authentication: > > how do I best implement the rejection of the exchange to be further > > processed by subsequents endpoints? > > > > I'm confused as my exchange is an InOut, so I cannot simply abort the > > processing, I need to send back some output (either an empty response or > > error code) to the initial from endpoint... > > > > Any suggestion? > > thanks, > > Cristiano > > > >
