7.3. Deploying the Apache Camel Route
Overview
The Maven POM file in the basic Camel CXF proxy demonstration is already configured to generate an OSGi bundle. Hence, after building the demonstration using Maven, the demonstration bundle (which contains the Apache Camel route and the
RealWebServicesBean bean) is ready for deployment into the OSGi container.
Prerequisites
Before deploying the Apache Camel route into the OSGi container, you must configure the proxy Web service to use SSL/TLS security, as described in the previous section, Section 7.2, “Securing the Web Services Proxy”.
Steps to deploy the Camel route
To deploy the Web services proxy demonstration into the OSGi container, perform the following steps:
Build the demonstration
Use Maven to build and install the demonstration as an OSGi bundle. Open a command prompt, switch the current directory to
CamelInstallDir/examples/camel-example-cxf-proxy, and enter the following command:
mvn install -Dmaven.test.skip=true
Start the OSGi container
If you have not already done so, start up the Karaf console (and container instance) by entering the following command in a new command prompt:
./fuse
Install the required features
The
camel-cxf feature, which defines the bundles required for the Camel/CXF component, is not installed by default. To install the camel-cxf feature, enter the following console command:
JBossFuse:karaf@root> features:install camel-cxf
You also need the
camel-http feature, which defines the bundles required for the Camel/HTTP component. To install the camel-http feature, enter the following console command:
JBossFuse:karaf@root> features:install camel-http
Deploy the bundle
Deploy the
camel-example-cxf-proxy bundle, by entering the following console command:
JBossFuse:karaf@root> install -s mvn:org.apache.camel/camel-example-cxf-proxy/2.17.0.redhat-630xxx
Note
In this case, it is preferable to deploy the bundle directly using
install, rather than using hot deploy, so that you can see the bundle output on the console screen.
If you have any difficulty using the
mvn URL handler, see section "Mvn URL Handler" in "Deploying into Apache Karaf" for details of how to set it up.
Check the console output
After the bundle is successfully deployed, you should see output like the following in the console window:
JBossFuse:karaf@root> Starting real web service... Started real web service at: http://localhost:9081/real-webservice
