Chapter 1. Getting started with Fuse on Spring Boot

Procedure

1. Navigate to https://developers.redhat.com/launch.

2. Click START.

   The launcher wizard prompts you to log in to your Red Hat account.

3. Click the Log in or register button and then log in.
4. On the Launcher page, click the Deploy an Example Application button.
5. On the Create Example Application page, type the name, fuse-circuit-breaker, in the Create Example Application as field.
6. Click Select an Example.

7. In the Example dialog, select the Circuit Breaker option. A Select a Runtime dropdown menu appears.

   1. From the Select a Runtime dropdown, select Fuse.
   2. From the version dropdown menu, select 7.8 (Red Hat Fuse) (do not select the 2.21.2 (Community) version).
   3. Click Save.
8. On the Create Example Application page, click Download.
9. When you see the Your Application is Ready dialog, click Download.zip. Your browser downloads the generated booster project (packaged as a ZIP file).
10. Use an archive utility to extract the generated project to a convenient location on your local file system.

Procedure

1. Open a shell prompt and build the project from the command line, using Maven:

   cd fuse-circuit-breaker

   mvn clean package

   After Maven builds the project, it displays a Build Success message.

2. Open a new shell prompt and start the name service, as follows:

   cd name-service

   mvn spring-boot:run -DskipTests -Dserver.port=8081

   As Spring Boot starts up, you should see output similar to the following:

   ...
   2019-05-06 20:19:59.401  INFO 9553 --- [           main] o.a.camel.spring.SpringCamelContext      : Route: route1 started and consuming from: servlet:/name?httpMethodRestrict=GET

3. Open a new shell prompt and start the greetings service, as follows:

   cd greetings-service

   mvn spring-boot:run -DskipTests

   As Spring Boot starts up, you should see output similar to the following:

   ...
   2019-05-06 20:22:19.051  INFO 9729 --- [           main] o.a.c.c.s.CamelHttpTransportServlet      : Initialized CamelHttpTransportServlet[name=CamelServlet, contextPath=]
   2019-05-06 20:22:19.115  INFO 9729 --- [           main] b.c.e.u.UndertowEmbeddedServletContainer : Undertow started on port(s) 8080 (http)
   2019-05-06 20:22:19.123  INFO 9729 --- [           main] com.redhat.fuse.boosters.cb.Application  : Started Application in 7.68 seconds (JVM running for 12.66)

   The greetings service exposes a REST endpoint at the http://localhost:8080/camel/greetings URL.

4. Invoke the REST endpoint by either opening the URL in a web browser or by opening another shell prompt and typing the following curl command:

   curl http://localhost:8080/camel/greetings

   Here is the response:

   {"greetings":"Hello, Jacopo"}

5. To demonstrate the circuit breaker functionality provided by Camel Hystrix, kill the backend name service by typing Ctrl-C in the shell prompt window where the name service is running.

   Now that the name service is unavailable, the circuit breaker kicks in to prevent the greetings service from hanging when it is invoked.

6. Invoke the greetings REST endpoint by either opening http://localhost:8080/camel/greetings in a web browser or by typing the following curl command in another shell prompt window:

   curl http://localhost:8080/camel/greetings

   Here is the response:

   {"greetings":"Hello, default fallback"}

   In the window where the greetings service is running, the log shows the following sequence of messages:

   2019-05-06 20:24:16.952  INFO 9729 --- [-CamelHystrix-2] route2                                   :  Try to call name Service

7. For more information about this example, open the Circuit Breaker - Red Hat Fuse page at http://localhost:8080/ (while the greetings-service is running). This page includes a link to the Hystrix dashboard that monitors the state of the circuit breaker.
