Spring Boot + Undertow + Actuator with Camel XML DSL example

  • In this blog, we will learn How to enable actuator endpoints? How we can exclude embedded tomcat container in Spring Boot microservice? How to configure Undertow server in Spring Boot application?
  • To load camel context, e.g. camel-context.xml we need to add @ImportResource annotation and put your XML route definition on classpath
  • Application properties can be read from application.properties or application.yaml and extrapolated with {{ }} syntax.
  • Beans can be defined in XML, Java Config and Spring Autoconfiguration.

Step by Step Example

Here we have step by step guide.

1. Spring Boot and Camel BOM Dependencies

2. Spring Boot Application Runner

package the.basic.tech.info;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ImportResource;

@SpringBootApplication
@ImportResource("classpath:camel-context.xml")
public class MySpringBootApplication {	
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		SpringApplication.run(MySpringBootApplication.class, args);
	}
}

3. Camel Context and Camel routes

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
	   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
	   xsi:schemaLocation="
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
        http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring/camel-spring.xsd">

	<camelContext xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring">

		<route id="hello">
			<from uri="timer:hello?period={{timer.period}}"/>
			<transform>
				<method ref="myBean" method="saySomething" />
			</transform>
			<filter>
				<simple>"${body} contains 'foo'"</simple>
				<to uri="log:foo" />
			</filter>
			<to uri="seda:out" />
		</route>
	</camelContext>
</beans>

4. Bean class (myBean)

package the.basic.tech.info;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Value;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;

@Component("myBean")
public class MySpringBean {

    @Value("${greeting}")
    private String say;

    public String saySomething() {
        return say;
    }
}

5. Resources (application.properties/application.yaml)

# Management
server:
  port: 8080
  servlet.context-path: /camel-springboot-route/api/
endpoints:
  hawtio:
    enabled: true
  jolokia:
    enabled: true
management:
  endpoints:
    web:
      exposure:
        include: info, health, metrics, hawtio, jolokia, env, camelroutes
      base-path: /monitoring
      path-mapping.hawtio: /hawtio/console
  endpoint:
    health:
      show-details: always
hawtio:
  authenticationEnabled: false

## Application Name
camel:
  springboot:
    name: camel-springboot-route

# what to say
greeting: Hello World

# how often to trigger the timer
timer.period: 2000

6. Unit Test with Junit 5

package the.basic.tech.info;

import org.apache.camel.CamelContext;
import org.apache.camel.ProducerTemplate;
import org.apache.camel.builder.AdviceWithRouteBuilder;
import org.apache.camel.component.mock.MockEndpoint;
import org.apache.camel.test.spring.junit5.CamelSpringBootTest;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.boot.test.context.SpringBootTest;

@SpringBootTest
@CamelSpringBootTest
public class MySpringBootApplicationTest {

	@Autowired
	private CamelContext camelContext;

	@Autowired
	private ProducerTemplate producerTemplate;

	@Test
	public void test() throws Exception {
		MockEndpoint mock = camelContext.getEndpoint("mock:seda:out", MockEndpoint.class);

		AdviceWithRouteBuilder.adviceWith(camelContext, "hello",
				// intercepting an exchange on route
				r -> {
					// replacing consumer with direct component
					r.replaceFromWith("direct:start");
					// mocking producer
					r.mockEndpoints("seda*");
				}
		);

		// setting expectations
		mock.expectedMessageCount(1);
		mock.expectedBodiesReceived("Hello World");

		// invoking consumer
		producerTemplate.sendBody("direct:start", null);

		// asserting mock is satisfied
		mock.assertIsSatisfied();
	}
}

7. Run the Spring Boot Application

>mvn spring-boot:run

8. Snapshot

9. Application Health Monitoring – We are using the below maven dependency, hence application health can be monitored.

<dependency>
      <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
      <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-actuator</artifactId>
 </dependency>

You can hit: http://localhost:8080/camel-springboot-route/api/monitoring/info

Enjoy :), kindly let me know in comment section in case of any issue.
