Sorry for not having posted anything in some time but I had plenty of work. Anyway today I will continue the example with JMS that I've shown you some time ago.
The idea of the previous example was to simplify the work that we had to do in a manual way - we've sed JmsTemplate and Spring listener containers. The routing as such unfortunately was still done by us. In order to facilitate this process we can use Apache Camel.
The following example bases on the one that we've seen in this post Spring JMS, message automatic conversion, JMS template but with slight modifications:
CamelRouter.java
package pl.grzejszczak.marcin.camel;
import org.apache.camel.spring.Main;
public class CamelRouter {
/**
* @param args
* @throws Exception
*/
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Main main = new Main();
main.setApplicationContextUri("/camel/camelContext.xml");
main.run(args);
}
}
What we can see here is the usage of the Camel's Main class which you can reuse to more easily boot up Camel and keep it running until the JVM terminate. Then we have a new file camelContext.xml in which we have the Camel context in the Spring configuration file.
camelContext.xml
<?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://camel.apache.org/schema/spring http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring/camel-spring.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd "> <import resource="classpath:/camel/jmsApplicationContext.xml" /> <camel:camelContext id="camel" xmlns:camel="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring"> <camel:dataFormats> <camel:jaxb id="jaxb" prettyPrint="true" contextPath="pl.grzejszczak.marcin.camel.jaxb.generated" /> </camel:dataFormats> <camel:route> <camel:from uri="activemq:topic:Initial.Topic" /> <camel:unmarshal ref="jaxb" /> <camel:bean ref="enrichingService" /> <camel:marshal ref="jaxb" /> <camel:to uri="activemq:topic:Routed.Topic" /> </camel:route> </camel:camelContext> </beans>
We are defining in this file in order to create a Camel Route - from the activemq topic called Initial.Topic to the one called Routed.Topic. In the meantime we are doing some unmarshalling and marshalling by means of Jaxb.
In the jmsApplicationContext we no longer define the sender to the final topic: Routed.Topic.

Once we have already initialized our camel context, what we need to do is to send a message to the Initial.Topic. We are doing it by means of our modified ActiveMQRouter class.ActiveMQRouter.java
package pl.grzejszczak.marcin.camel.manual;
import java.io.File;
import java.util.Scanner;
import javax.jms.JMSException;
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.core.io.ClassPathResource;
import org.springframework.core.io.Resource;
import pl.grzejszczak.marcin.camel.jaxb.PlayerDetailsConverter;
import pl.grzejszczak.marcin.camel.jaxb.generated.PlayerDetails;
import pl.grzejszczak.marcin.camel.manual.jms.FinalListenerImpl;
import pl.grzejszczak.marcin.camel.manual.jms.Sender;
public class ActiveMQRouter {
/**
* @param args
* @throws JMSException
*/
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("/camel/jmsApplicationContext.xml");
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
Sender<PlayerDetails> sender = (Sender<PlayerDetails>) context.getBean("originPlayerSender");
Resource resource = new ClassPathResource("/camel/RobertLewandowski.xml");
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(new File(resource.getURI())).useDelimiter("\\Z");
String contents = scanner.next();
PlayerDetailsConverter converter = context.getBean(PlayerDetailsConverter.class);
FinalListenerImpl listener = (FinalListenerImpl) context.getBean("finalListenerImpl");
sender.sendMessage(converter.unmarshal(contents));
}
}
The class is reading the file and sending it to the initial topic. We also initialize a FinalListenerImpl - a class that will listen to the messages coming to the final topic - to prove that everything is working correctly.That's it! Now let's check out the logs. Logs of CamelRouter:

First we see that our spring Context has been initialized and then we see that a message has been sent to the Initial.Topic. At the end of the processing we can see that the listener is confirming that the message has been properly enriched - so all the Camel work has been done in a proper way.This example is showing how easy and simple it can be to create a routing / enriching service by means of Spring and Camel (integrated with Spring).
