This example shows how to work with a simple Apache Camel application using Spring Boot.
The example generates messages using timer trigger, writes them to standard output.
The Camel route is located in the MyCamelRouter
class. In this class the route
starts from a timer, that triggers every 2nd second and calls a Spring Bean MyBean
which returns a message, that is routed to a stream endpoint which writes to standard output.
Apache Camel provides 200+ components which you can use to integrate and route messages between many systems and data formats. To use any of these Camel components, add the component as a dependency to your project.
To show a summary of spring boot health check
curl -XGET -s http://localhost:8080/actuator/health
And you can see some info details as well
curl -XGET -s http://localhost:8080/actuator/info
See the application.properties
to control what information to present in actuator.
This application includes camel-console-starter
which is a basic developer console
that is accessible as a Spring Boot actuator endpoint via:
curl -XGET -s http://localhost:8080/actuator/camel
For example to get route information:
curl -XGET -s http://localhost:8080/actuator/camel/routes
This application is integrated with the Camel CLI via the camel-cli-connector-starter
dependency (see pom.xml
).
This allows to use the Camel CLI to manage this application, such as:
$mvn spring-boot:run
And then use the CLI to see status:
$camel get PID NAME CAMEL PLATFORM READY STATUS AGE TOTAL FAILED INFLIGHT SINCE-LAST 86000 sample.camel.MyCamelApplica… 3.19.0 Spring Boot v2.7.3 1/1 Running 11s 5 0 0 0s
If you hit any problem using Camel or have some feedback, then please let us know.
We also love contributors, so get involved :-)
The Camel riders!
