| = Console Example |
| |
| This is a beginner's example that demonstrates how to get started with |
| Apache Camel. |
| |
| In this example we integrate with the console using the |
| xref:components::stream-component.adoc[Stream] component. The example is interactive - it |
| reads input from the console, and then transforms the input to upper |
| case and prints it back to the console. |
| |
| This is implemented with a Camel route defined in the Spring XML markup |
| shown below: |
| |
| [source,java] |
| ---- |
| include::{examplesdir}/examples/camel-example-console/src/main/resources/META-INF/spring/camel-context.xml[tags=e1] |
| ---- |
| |
| This example can be launched from the command line using Maven: |
| |
| [source,shell] |
| ---- |
| mvn compile exec:java |
| ---- |
| |
| In the console you can enter a message and press <ENTER>. Camel responds |
| by echoing the input message in upper case, as shown below: |
| |
| ---- |
| [onsole.CamelConsoleMain.main()] SpringCamelContext INFO Apache Camel 2.10 (CamelContext: camel-1) started in 0.455 seconds |
| Enter something: camel rocks |
| CAMEL ROCKS |
| Enter something: and we have fun |
| AND WE HAVE FUN |
| Enter something: |

| |
| You can also run this example from your editor. For example, from |
| Eclipse you can import this project using: File → Import … → Existing |
| Maven Project, and select `pom.xml` from the |
| `examples\camel-example-console` directory. |
| |
| Next, navigate to the |
| `org.apache.camel.example.console.CamelConsoleMain` class, right-click, |
| and select Run As → Java Application. |
