Camel Netty HTTP Server Example

Introduction

This example shows how to use a shared Netty HTTP Server in an OSGi environment.

There is 4 modules in this example:

  • shared-netty-http-server - The Shared Netty HTTP server that the other Camel applications uses
  • myapp-one - A Camel application that reuses the shared Netty HTTP server
  • myapp-two - A Camel application that reuses the shared Netty HTTP server

Build

You will need to compile this example first:

$ mvn install

Run

This example runs in Apache Karaf / ServiceMix. To install Apache Camel in Karaf you type in the shell:

karaf@root()> repo-add camel ${version}
karaf@root()> feature:install camel

Then you need to install the following features in Karaf/ServiceMix:

karaf@root()> feature:install camel-netty-http

Then you can install the shared Netty HTTP server which by default runs on port 8888. The port number can be changed by editing the following source file:

shared-netty-http-server/src/main/resources/OSGI-INF/blueprint/http-server.xml

In the Apache Karaf / ServiceMix shell type:

karaf@root()> install -s mvn:org.apache.camel.example/camel-example-netty-http-shared/${version}

Then you can install the Camel applications:

karaf@root()> install -s mvn:org.apache.camel.example/camel-example-netty-myapp-one/${version}
karaf@root()> install -s mvn:org.apache.camel.example/camel-example-netty-myapp-two/${version}

From a web browser you can then try the example by accessing the following URLs:

http://localhost:8888/one

http://localhost:8888/two

Camel commands can be used to gain some insights on the CDI Camel context, e.g.:

  • The camel:context-list displays the CDI Camel contexts:

    karaf@root()> camel:context-list
     Context           Status              Total #       Failed #     Inflight #   Uptime        
     -------           ------              -------       --------     ----------   ------        
     camel-1           Started                   1              0              0   1 minute  
     camel-2           Started                   1              0              0   1 minute  
    

Or by tailing the log with:

karaf@root()> log:tail

The following messages should be displayed:
