How to make post request in apache camel rest - spring

Question

I am new apache rest dsl with spring boot, have made following changes
Main Class
package com.javaoutofbounds.pojo;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
#SpringBootApplication(scanBasePackages = {"com.ccs.batchfile"})
public class BatchFileApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(BatchFileApplication.class, args);
}
}
Service class
package com.ccs.batchfile.service;
import org.apache.camel.builder.RouteBuilder;
import org.apache.camel.model.rest.RestBindingMode;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
#Component
public class BatchFileService extends RouteBuilder {
#Override
public void configure() throws Exception {
restConfiguration().component("servlet").bindingMode(RestBindingMode.json);
rest("/batchFile").consumes("application/json").produces("application/json").get("/routeStart").to("direct:startRoute");
}
}
Route class
package com.ccs.batchfile.routes;
import org.apache.camel.builder.RouteBuilder;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
import com.ccs.batchfile.processor.StartRouteProcessor;
#Component
public class StartRoute extends RouteBuilder{
#Autowired
private StartRouteProcessor startRouteProcessor;
#Override
public void configure() throws Exception {
from("direct:startRoute").log("Inside StartRoute")
.process(startRouteProcessor);
}
}
Processor class
package com.ccs.batchfile.processor;
import org.apache.camel.Exchange;
import org.apache.camel.Processor;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
#Component("startRouteProcessor")
public class StartRouteProcessor implements Processor{
public void process(Exchange exchange) throws Exception {
String message = exchange.getIn().getBody(String.class);
System.out.println(message);
}
}
I am not getting control to StartRouteProcessor, when i make below post request in postman
http://localhost:8080/batchFile/routeStart/
I have used below test payload to check if works.
{
"title" : "test title",
"singer" : "some singer"
}
When i post the above request i am getting 404 error. Kindly help on this please

I tried your example and you need to add two changes.
In your "main" class, the 'component scan' annotation is right, but you have to add a 'ServletRegistrationBean' with name 'CamelServlet':
package org.funcode.app.main;
import org.apache.camel.component.servlet.CamelHttpTransportServlet;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.web.servlet.ServletRegistrationBean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
#SpringBootApplication(scanBasePackages = {"org.funcode.app"})
public class BatchFileApplication {
private static final String CAMEL_URL_MAPPING = "/api/*";
private static final String CAMEL_SERVLET_NAME = "CamelServlet";
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(BatchFileApplication.class, args);
}
#Bean
public ServletRegistrationBean servletRegistrationBean() {
ServletRegistrationBean registration =
new ServletRegistrationBean(new CamelHttpTransportServlet(), CAMEL_URL_MAPPING);
registration.setName(CAMEL_SERVLET_NAME);
return registration;
}
}
And if you want view on the log the content you posted on the request, you need to change the method of the request to "post":
package org.funcode.app.main;
import org.apache.camel.builder.RouteBuilder;
import org.apache.camel.model.rest.RestBindingMode;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
#Component
public class BatchFileService extends RouteBuilder {
#Override
public void configure() throws Exception {
restConfiguration().component("servlet").bindingMode(RestBindingMode.json);
rest("/batchFile")
.consumes("application/json")
.produces("application/json")
.post("/routeStart")
.to("direct:startRoute");
}
}
I hope it helps.
