<h2>Asynchronous routing and transformation</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
This example demonstrates how to implement consumer and producer actors that
|
||
|
|
support
|
||
|
|
<a href="http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/2.3-SNAPSHOT/java/camel.html#Asynchronous_routing" target="_blank">
|
||
|
|
Asynchronous routing</a> with their Camel endpoints. The sample
|
||
|
|
application transforms the content of the Akka homepage, <a href="http://akka.io" target="_blank">http://akka.io</a>,
|
||
|
|
by replacing every occurrence of *Akka* with *AKKA*.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
To run this example, go to the <a href="#run" class="shortcut">Run</a>
|
||
|
|
tab, and start the application main class <code>sample.camel.http.HttpExample</code> if it's not already started.
|
||
|
|
Then direct the browser to <a href="http://localhost:8875" target="_blank">http://localhost:8875</a> and the
|
||
|
|
transformed Akka homepage should be displayed. Please note that this example will probably not work if you're
|
||
|
|
behind an HTTP proxy.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
The following figure gives an overview how the example actors interact with
|
||
|
|
external systems and with each other. A browser sends a GET request to
|
||
|
|
http://localhost:8875 which is the published endpoint of the
|
||
|
|
<a href="#code/src/main/java/sample/camel/http/HttpConsumer.java" class="shortcut">HttpConsumer</a>
|
||
|
|
actor. The <code>HttpConsumer</code>actor forwards the requests to the
|
||
|
|
<a href="#code/src/main/java/sample/camel/http/HttpProducer.java" class="shortcut">HttpProducer.java</a>
|
||
|
|
actor which retrieves the Akka homepage from http://akka.io. The retrieved HTML
|
||
|
|
is then forwarded to the
|
||
|
|
<a href="#code/src/main/java/sample/camel/http/HttpTransformer.java" class="shortcut">HttpTransformer.java</a>
|
||
|
|
actor which replaces all occurrences of *Akka* with *AKKA*. The transformation result is sent back the HttpConsumer
|
||
|
|
which finally returns it to the browser.

|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Implementing the example actor classes and wiring them together is rather easy
|
||
|
|
as shown in <a href="#code/src/main/java/sample/camel/http/HttpConsumer.java" class="shortcut">HttpConsumer.java</a>,
|
||
|
|
<a href="#code/src/main/java/sample/camel/http/HttpProducer.java" class="shortcut">HttpProducer.java</a> and
|
||
|
|
<a href="#code/src/main/java/sample/camel/http/HttpTransformer.java" class="shortcut">HttpTransformer.java</a>.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
The <a href="http://camel.apache.org/jetty.html" target="_blank">jetty endpoints</a> of HttpConsumer and
|
||
|
|
HttpProducer support asynchronous in-out message exchanges and do not allocate threads for the full duration of
|
||
|
|
the exchange. This is achieved by using <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Jetty/Feature/Continuations" target="_blank">Jetty continuations</a>
|
||
|
|
on the consumer-side and by using <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Jetty/Tutorial/HttpClient" target="_blank">Jetty's asynchronous HTTP client</a>
|
||
|
|
on the producer side. The following high-level sequence diagram illustrates that.

<h2>Custom Camel route example</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
This section also demonstrates the combined usage of a
|
||
|
|
<a href="#code/src/main/java/sample/camel/route/RouteProducer.java" class="shortcut">RouteProducer</a> and a
|
||
|
|
<a href="#code/src/main/java/sample/camel/route/RouteConsumer.java" class="shortcut">RouteConsumer</a>
|
||
|
|
actor as well as the inclusion of a
|
||
|
|
<a href="#code/src/main/java/sample/camel/route/CustomRouteSample.java" class="shortcut">custom Camel route</a>.
|
||
|
|
The following figure gives an overview.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<img src="tutorial/camel-custom-route.png" width="400" />
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>A consumer actor receives a message from an HTTP client</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li>It forwards the message to another actor that transforms the message (encloses
|
||
|
|
the original message into hyphens)</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li>The transformer actor forwards the transformed message to a producer actor</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li>The producer actor sends the message to a custom Camel route beginning at the
|
||
|
|
<code>direct:welcome</code> endpoint</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li>A processor (transformer) in the custom Camel route prepends "Welcome" to the
|
||
|
|
original message and creates a result message</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li>The producer actor sends the result back to the consumer actor which returns
|
||
|
|
it to the HTTP client</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
The producer actor knows where to reply the message to because the consumer and
|
||
|
|
transformer actors have forwarded the original sender reference as well. The
|
||
|
|
application configuration and the route starting from direct:welcome are done in the code above.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
To run this example, go to the <a href="#run" class="shortcut">Run</a>
|
||
|
|
tab, and start the application main class <code>sample.camel.route.CustomRouteExample</code>
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
POST a message to <code>http://localhost:8877/camel/welcome</code>.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>
|
||
|
|
curl -H "Content-Type: text/plain" -d "Anke" http://localhost:8877/camel/welcome
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
The response should be:
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre><code>
|
||
|
|
Welcome - Anke -
|
||
|
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

<h2>Quartz Scheduler Example</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Here is an example showing how simple it is to implement a cron-style scheduler by
|
||
|
|
using the Camel Quartz component in Akka.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Open <a href="#code/src/main/java/sample/camel/quartz/MyQuartzActor.java" class="shortcut">MyQuartzActor.java</a>.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
The example creates a "timer" actor which fires a message every 2
|
||
|
|
seconds.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
