Calling CXF webservice through Apache Camel

Question

I am trying to integrate Apache CXF with Apache Camel. Configuration for camel:

<cxf:cxfEndpoint id="authTest"
        address="/cxfAuth"
        serviceClass="com.test.AuthService" >
        <cxf:properties>
            <entry key="dataFormat" value="POJO" />
            <entry key="setDefaultBus" value="true" />
        </cxf:properties>
    </cxf:cxfEndpoint>

     <camel:camelContext trace="true">
        <camel:route>
            <camel:from uri="cxf:bean:authTest" />
            <camel:to uri="bean:routeExitResponseProcessor"/>
        </camel:route>
    </camel:camelContext>

Now to invoke specific operation on web service I am using this:

<camel:route>
            <camel:from uri="direct:startAuthTest"/>
            <camel:setHeader headerName="getEmployee"> 
                <camel:constant>gid</camel:constant> 
            </camel:setHeader> 
            <camel:to uri="cxf:bean:authTest" />
            <camel:log message=">>> data is : ${body}"/>
            <camel:to uri="bean:routeExitResponseProcessor"/>
        </camel:route>

But after including above config I am getting WARN ServletController:149 - Can't find the the request for http://localhost:8080/CXFService/services/cxfAuth's Observer on the server console and my webservice is not found on browser.

Please help.

Solution

you can call the following to get the CXF operation name being called...see http://camel.apache.org/cxf.html for more details

String operation = (String)in.getHeader(CxfConstants.OPERATION_NAME);

also, see this unit test for example usage...

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/camel/trunk/components/camel-cxf/src/test/java/org/apache/camel/component/cxf/CxfConsumerTest.java

then based on operation names I have to put a lot of if...else. Is there a clean way to do it?

see the unit test example I included, but basically choice() stmts can be used in the route or conditionals in the beans/processors, etc...

Is there any way to configure it in the camel config file?

[Ben ODay]

sure, just use a <choice><when><header>operationName</header>...see camel.apache.org/content-based-router.html for more details
