7.3. Deploying the Apache Camel Route

Overview

The Maven POM file in the basic Camel CXF proxy demonstration is already configured to generate an OSGi bundle. Hence, after building the demonstration using Maven, the demonstration bundle (which contains the Apache Camel route and the RealWebServicesBean bean) is ready for deployment into the OSGi container.

Prerequisites

Before deploying the Apache Camel route into the OSGi container, you must configure the proxy Web service to use SSL/TLS security, as described in the previous section, Section 7.2, “Securing the Web Services Proxy”.

Steps to deploy the Camel route

To deploy the Web services proxy demonstration into the OSGi container, perform the following steps:
  1. the section called “Build the demonstration”.
  2. the section called “Start the OSGi container”.
  3. the section called “Install the required features”.
  4. the section called “Deploy the bundle”.
  5. the section called “Check the console output”.

Build the demonstration

Use Maven to build and install the demonstration as an OSGi bundle. Open a command prompt, switch the current directory to CamelInstallDir/examples/camel-example-cxf-proxy, and enter the following command: 
mvn install -Dmaven.test.skip=true

Start the OSGi container

If you have not already done so, start up the Karaf console (and container instance) by entering the following command in a new command prompt: 
./fuse

Install the required features

The camel-cxf feature, which defines the bundles required for the Camel/CXF component, is not installed by default. To install the camel-cxf feature, enter the following console command: 
JBossFuse:karaf@root> features:install camel-cxf
You also need the camel-http feature, which defines the bundles required for the Camel/HTTP component. To install the camel-http feature, enter the following console command: 
JBossFuse:karaf@root> features:install camel-http

Deploy the bundle

Deploy the camel-example-cxf-proxy bundle, by entering the following console command: 
JBossFuse:karaf@root> install -s mvn:org.apache.camel/camel-example-cxf-proxy/2.17.0.redhat-630xxx
Note
In this case, it is preferable to deploy the bundle directly using install, rather than using hot deploy, so that you can see the bundle output on the console screen.
If you have any difficulty using the mvn URL handler, see section "Mvn URL Handler" in "Deploying into Apache Karaf" for details of how to set it up.

Check the console output

After the bundle is successfully deployed, you should see output like the following in the console window: 
JBossFuse:karaf@root> Starting real web service...
Started real web service at: http://localhost:9081/real-webservice
