Camel application - Spring Boot example

Abstract

This example shows how to work with a simple Apache Camel application using Spring Boot.

Introduction

The example generates messages using timer trigger, writes them to standard output.

Camel routes

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.

Using Camel components

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.

How to run

You can run this example using

mvn spring-boot:run

To get health check

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.

Route coverage

This example has enabled testing with route coverage, which after running the test dumps a report, if you run:

mvn test camel-report:route-coverage

See more details about route coverage at: camel-report-maven-plugin.
