Hello. In my component, I have a control channel component that services a few types of administrative messages that configure the component in certain ways. I would like to experiment with making the control component endpoint a discoverable service, so I would like to try to clarify some things before I start.
First, I assume that I will need to create another component-endpoint pair that uses HTTP. That seems really obvious, but I wanted to make sure that I am not missing something. It certainly would not be the first time that has happened! Next, is the Undertow component the best example for me to learn how I should approach it? I should only need basic http/https functionality to accept the request information. If possible, I would like to be able to reuse the logic that my non-http control channel already implements. If there is another component that provides an http endpoint as (mostly) an additional access point, I would be interested in seeing that. The undertow component is pretty substantial, and I do not know if it would be worth that additional complexity and code to integrate with component discovery. Lastly, what else should I be aware of? The "Service Registry" page in the Camel online manual does not seem to be directed toward developers, other than the idea of implementing DiscoverableService. If I end up doing all of this with my component, would it be helpful to add a more detailed section to the manual to help others get started with implementation? Thanks, Steve
