[[Karaf-KarafSupport]]
Karaf Support
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Apache Camel is designed to work nicely into
http://karaf.apache.org[Apache Karaf] OSGi container.

It includes:

* Camel features descriptor allowing to easily and quickly install Camel
in Karaf.
* Karaf commands allowing you to view, start, stop, get info, about the
Camel contexts and routes running in the Karaf instance. +

NOTE: Karaf commands are available starting with Camel 2.8.0, and the
commands was renamed in Camel 2.9.0.

Here are the versions that are compatible:

|2.2.0 |1.2.0
|2.3.0 |1.3.0
|2.4.0 |1.4.0
|2.5.0 |2.1.0
|2.7.0 |2.2.0

[[Karaf-PreparingKarafforCamel]]
Preparing Karaf for Camel
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Camel uses several bundles to provide low level package, such as
`javax.annotation` or `javax.xml.bind`.

Due to that, we mustn't use the default system package coming from the
JDK. It means that we need to _exclude_ some packages from system
packages in order to use packages provided by tiers bundles.

Camel provides a ready to use `config.properties` file that you can
download:

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/camel/tags/camel-2.7.2/platforms/karaf/features/src/main/resources/config.properties

This file has to be copied into Karaf etc folder.

TIP: *Karaf 2.2.5 or newer* +
Notice that Karaf 2.2.5 now provides an extra configuration file that
has been configured to work with Camel and CXF, so its recommended to
use this file if you use Karaf 2.2.5 or newer. You can prepare Karaf by
copying the `etc/jre.properties.cxf` and override the existing
`etc/jre.properties` file.


[[Karaf-InstallCamelinKaraf]]
Install Camel in Karaf
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Assuming that you have a running Karaf instance, you can register the
Camel features descriptor:

[source,sh]
----
karaf@root> features:addurl mvn:org.apache.camel.karaf/apache-camel/2.8.2/xml/features
----

From Karaf 2.2.6 onwards this has been simplified as there is a new
`features:chooseurl` command that is pre-setup for Camel:

[source,sh]
----
karaf@root> features:chooseurl camel 2.9.1
----

Now, we have all Camel features available:

[source,sh]
----
karaf@root> features:list|grep -i camel
[uninstalled] [2.8.0          ] camel                         repo-0
[uninstalled] [2.8.0          ] camel-core                    repo-0
[uninstalled] [2.8.0          ] camel-spring                  repo-0
[uninstalled] [2.8.0          ] camel-blueprint               repo-0
[uninstalled] [2.8.0          ] camel-test                    repo-0
[uninstalled] [2.8.0          ] camel-cxf                     repo-0
[uninstalled] [2.8.0          ] camel-cache                   repo-0
[uninstalled] [2.8.0          ] camel-castor                  repo-0
[uninstalled] [2.8.0          ] camel-crypto                  repo-0
[uninstalled] [2.8.0          ] camel-http                    repo-0
[uninstalled] [2.8.0          ] camel-http4                   repo-0
[uninstalled] [2.8.0          ] camel-mina                    repo-0
[uninstalled] [2.8.0          ] camel-jetty                   repo-0
[uninstalled] [2.8.0          ] camel-servlet                 repo-0
[uninstalled] [2.8.0          ] camel-jms                     repo-0
...
----

To install Camel, just install the `camel` feature:

[source,sh]
----
karaf@root> features:install camel
----

You have to install the Camel features depending of your requirements.

For instance, if you want to use blueprint as Camel DSL, you have to
install the `camel-blueprint` feature:

[source,sh]
----
karaf@root> features:install camel-blueprint
----

If, in your route, you use an endpoint like `stream:out`, you have to
install the `camel-stream` feature:

[source,sh]
----
karaf@root> features:install camel-stream
----

[[Karaf-Karafcommands]]
Karaf commands
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When you install the camel feature, new Karaf commands become available
automatically.
