Chapter 55. JBI
55.1. JBI Component
Overview
The jbi component is implemented by the ServiceMix Camel module and provides integration with a JBI Normalized Message Router, such as the one provided by Apache ServiceMix.
Important
See below for information about how to use
StreamSource
types from ServiceMix in Camel.
The following code:
from("jbi:endpoint:http://foo.bar.org/MyService/MyEndpoint")
Automatically exposes a new endpoint to the bus, where the service QName is
{http://foo.bar.org}MyService
and the endpoint name is MyEndpoint
(see URI-format).
When a JBI endpoint appears at the end of a route, for example:
to("jbi:endpoint:http://foo.bar.org/MyService/MyEndpoint")
The messages sent by this producer endpoint are sent to the already deployed JBI endpoint.
URI format
jbi:service:serviceNamespace[sep]serviceName[?options] jbi:endpoint:serviceNamespace[sep]serviceName[sep]endpointName[?options] jbi:name:endpointName[?options]
The separator that should be used in the endpoint URL is:
/
(forward slash), ifserviceNamespace
starts withhttp://
, or:
(colon), ifserviceNamespace
starts withurn:foo:bar
.
For more details of valid JBI URIs see the ServiceMix URI Guide.
Using the
jbi:service:
or jbi:endpoint:
URI formats sets the service QName on the JBI endpoint to the one specified. Otherwise, the default Camel JBI Service QName is used, which is:
{http://activemq.apache.org/camel/schema/jbi}endpoint
You can append query options to the URI in the following format,
?option=value&option=value&...
Examples
jbi:service:http://foo.bar.org/MyService jbi:endpoint:urn:foo:bar:MyService:MyEndpoint jbi:endpoint:http://foo.bar.org/MyService/MyEndpoint jbi:name:cheese
URI options
Name | Default value | Description |
---|---|---|
mep
|
MEP of the Camel Exchange |
Allows users to override the MEP set on the Exchange object. Valid values for this option are in-only , in-out , robust-in-out and in-optional-out .
|
operation
|
Value of the jbi.operation header property
|
Specifies the JBI operation for the MessageExchange . If no value is supplied, the JBI binding will use the value of the jbi.operation header property.
|
serialization
|
basic
|
Default value (basic ) will check if headers are serializable by looking at the type, setting this option to strict will detect objects that can not be serialized although they implement the Serializable interface. Set to nocheck to disable this check altogether, note that this should only be used for in-memory transports like SEDAFlow, otherwise you can expect to get NotSerializableException thrown at runtime.
|
convertException
|
false
|
false : send any exceptions thrown from the Camel route back unmodified true : convert all exceptions to a JBI FaultException (can be used to avoid non-serializable exceptions or to implement generic error handling
|
Examples
jbi:service:http://foo.bar.org/MyService?mep=in-out (override the MEP, use InOut JBI MessageExchanges) jbi:endpoint:urn:foo:bar:MyService:MyEndpoint?mep=in (override the MEP, use InOnly JBI MessageExchanges) jbi:endpoint:urn:foo:bar:MyService:MyEndpoint?operation={http://www.mycompany.org}AddNumbers (overide the operation for the JBI Exchange to {http://www.mycompany.org}AddNumbers)
Using Stream bodies
If you are using a stream type as the message body, you should be aware that a stream is only capable of being read once. So if you enable
DEBUG
logging, the body is usually logged and thus read. To deal with this, Camel has a streamCaching
option that can cache the stream, enabling you to read it multiple times.
from("jbi:endpoint:http://foo.bar.org/MyService/MyEndpoint").streamCaching().to("xslt:transform.xsl", "bean:doSomething");
The stream caching is default enabled, so it is not necessary to set the
streamCaching()
option. We store big input streams (by default, over 64K) in a temp
file using CachedOutputStream
. When you close the input stream, the temp file will be deleted.
Creating a JBI Service Unit
If you have some Camel routes that you want to deploy inside JBI as a Service Unit, you can use the JBI Service Unit Archetype to create a new Maven project for the Service Unit.
If you have an existing Maven project that you need to convert into a JBI Service Unit, you may want to consult ServiceMix Maven JBI Plugins for further help. The key steps are as follows:
- Create a Spring XML file at
src/main/resources/camel-context.xml
to bootstrap your routes inside the JBI Service Unit. - Change the POM file's packaging to
jbi-service-unit
.
Your
pom.xml
should look something like this to enable the jbi-service-unit
packaging:
