Hi, Claus. Thanks for your response.
The Camel "rest-swagger" looks awesome but unfortunately I don't think I can
use it, because what I actually need are the data models created from the
Swagger OpenAPI specs.
And as it turns out, Maven's "swagger-codegen-maven-plugin" is precisely what I
need. I misspoke earlier when I said I wanted to dynamically pull in the API
at startup. I was just trying to avoid a manual CodeGen
("swagger-codegen-cli") step before compiling.
But with the Maven plugin I can grab the API and generate the models at compile
time - which is perfectly suitable for my needs. And it's great that the
plugin lets you specify either a URL or a local JSON file (which is what I'll
end up using), and it lets you generate exactly the models you need (instead of
all of them).
I'm sure this is all old hat to you guys, but I'm new to it...
Thank you again.
Ron

FWIW: I got my tech lead excited about Camel and Spring Boot and he gave me the
go ahead. I'm creating a Spring Boot + Camel pipeline with a scalable Ingest
"head" where multiple rest components will each hit a different endpoint to get
a JSON array of hundreds or thousands of elements. I'll then use Camel to
split the array, start some Camel parallelProcessing() or threads() or
whatever, convert each JSON to one of the model POJOs created by Swagger, then
convert each model to a custom model, and write it to a Kafka topic to feed the
rest of the pipeline. (or maybe it's better for Ingest to just write the JSON
elements to Kafka, and let the other side of the pipeline do the JSON
transforming...) Anyway, should be pretty neat, and it'll be much less code
than what they currently have. It's pretty straight forward stuff you guys do
all the time, but it'll be my biggest Camel implementation yet, and I'm glad
I'm getting to showcase Camel as being something other than a tool to jus
t "read from a JMS and write to a JMS".
