Resteasy

Since Camel 3.4

Both producer and consumer are supported

The resteasy: component provides HTTP based endpoints for consuming HTTP requests that arrive at a HTTP endpoint that is bound to a published Servlet.

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml for this component:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-resteasy</artifactId>
    <version>x.x.x</version>
    <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>

URI format

resteasy://relative_path[?options]

You can append query options to the URI in the following format: ?option=value&option=value&…​

Options

The Resteasy component supports 22 options, which are listed below.

Name Description Default Type

httpRegistry (common)

Sets httpRegistry which can be externalized to be used by camel

HttpRegistry

proxyConsumersClasses (common)

Sets the proxy class for consumer enpoints

String

bridgeErrorHandler (consumer)

Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions occurred while the consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. By default the consumer will use the org.apache.camel.spi.ExceptionHandler to deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored.

false

boolean

cookieStore (producer)

To use a custom org.apache.http.client.CookieStore. By default the org.apache.http.impl.client.BasicCookieStore is used which is an in-memory only cookie store. Notice if bridgeEndpoint=true then the cookie store is forced to be a noop cookie store as cookie shouldn’t be stored as we are just bridging (eg acting as a proxy).

CookieStore

lazyStartProducer (producer)

Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

false

boolean

allowJavaSerializedObject (advanced)

Whether to allow java serialization when a request uses context-type=application/x-java-serialized-object. This is by default turned off. If you enable this then be aware that Java will deserialize the incoming data from the request to Java and that can be a potential security risk.

false

boolean

basicPropertyBinding (advanced)

Whether the component should use basic property binding (Camel 2.x) or the newer property binding with additional capabilities

false

boolean

clientConnectionManager (advanced)

To use a custom and shared HttpClientConnectionManager to manage connections. If this has been configured then this is always used for all endpoints created by this component.

HttpClientConnectionManager

connectionsPerRoute (advanced)

The maximum number of connections per route.

20

int

connectionTimeToLive (advanced)

The time for connection to live, the time unit is millisecond, the default value is always keep alive.

long

httpBinding (advanced)

To use a custom HttpBinding to control the mapping between Camel message and HttpClient.

HttpBinding

httpClientConfigurer (advanced)

To use the custom HttpClientConfigurer to perform configuration of the HttpClient that will be used.

HttpClientConfigurer

httpConfiguration (advanced)

To use the shared HttpConfiguration as base configuration.

HttpConfiguration

httpContext (advanced)

To use a custom org.apache.http.protocol.HttpContext when executing requests.

HttpContext

maxTotalConnections (advanced)

The maximum number of connections.

200

int

headerFilterStrategy (filter)

To use a custom org.apache.camel.spi.HeaderFilterStrategy to filter header to and from Camel message.

HeaderFilterStrategy

sslContextParameters (security)

To configure security using SSLContextParameters. Important: Only one instance of org.apache.camel.support.jsse.SSLContextParameters is supported per HttpComponent. If you need to use 2 or more different instances, you need to define a new HttpComponent per instance you need.

SSLContextParameters

useGlobalSslContextParameters (security)

Enable usage of global SSL context parameters.

false

boolean

x509HostnameVerifier (security)

To use a custom X509HostnameVerifier such as DefaultHostnameVerifier or NoopHostnameVerifier.

HostnameVerifier

connectionRequestTimeout (timeout)

The timeout in milliseconds used when requesting a connection from the connection manager. A timeout value of zero is interpreted as an infinite timeout. A timeout value of zero is interpreted as an infinite timeout. A negative value is interpreted as undefined (system default).

-1

int

connectTimeout (timeout)

Determines the timeout in milliseconds until a connection is established. A timeout value of zero is interpreted as an infinite timeout. A timeout value of zero is interpreted as an infinite timeout. A negative value is interpreted as undefined (system default).

-1

int

socketTimeout (timeout)

Defines the socket timeout in milliseconds, which is the timeout for waiting for data or, put differently, a maximum period inactivity between two consecutive data packets). A timeout value of zero is interpreted as an infinite timeout. A negative value is interpreted as undefined (system default).

-1

int

The Resteasy endpoint is configured using URI syntax:

resteasy:httpUri

with the following path and query parameters:

Path Parameters (1 parameters):

Name Description Default Type

httpUri

Required The url of the HTTP endpoint to call.

URI

Query Parameters (73 parameters):

Name Description Default Type

chunked (common)

If this option is false the Servlet will disable the HTTP streaming and set the content-length header on the response

true

boolean

disableStreamCache (common)

Determines whether or not the raw input stream from Servlet is cached or not (Camel will read the stream into a in memory/overflow to file, Stream caching) cache. By default Camel will cache the Servlet input stream to support reading it multiple times to ensure it Camel can retrieve all data from the stream. However you can set this option to true when you for example need to access the raw stream, such as streaming it directly to a file or other persistent store. DefaultHttpBinding will copy the request input stream into a stream cache and put it into message body if this option is false to support reading the stream multiple times. If you use Servlet to bridge/proxy an endpoint then consider enabling this option to improve performance, in case you do not need to read the message payload multiple times. The http producer will by default cache the response body stream. If setting this option to true, then the producers will not cache the response body stream but use the response stream as-is as the message body.

false

boolean

clearExpiredCookies (producer)

Whether to clear expired cookies before sending the HTTP request. This ensures the cookies store does not keep growing by adding new cookies which is newer removed when they are expired.

Usage

Consumer endpoints are similar to endpoints generated by the Servlet component. Therefore, it should be used only as input into your Camel routes. To issue HTTP requests against other HTTP endpoints, use the HTTP Component.

Producer endpoints rely on Resteasy Client API. https://docs.jboss.org/resteasy/docs/4.5.3.Final/userguide/html_single/index.html#RESTEasy_Client_Framework

Putting Camel JARs in the app server boot classpath

Refer same section of Servlet Component.

Sample

As a basic consumer with Spring example, first, you need to publish the servlet using the Web.xml file to publish

Notice that below two listeners are registered when application server is initialized. The org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.server.servlet.ResteasyBootstrap class is a ServletContextListener that configures an instance of an ResteasyProviderFactory and Registry. You can obtain instances of a ResteasyProviderFactory and Registry from the ServletContext attributes org.jboss.resteasy.spi.ResteasyProviderFactory and org.jboss.resteasy.spi.Registry. From these instances you can programmatically interact with RESTEasy registration interfaces. Please note that the SpringContextLoaderListener must be declared after ResteasyBootstrap as it uses ServletContext attributes initialized by it. For further details please refer to https://docs.jboss.org/resteasy/docs/4.5.3.Final/userguide/html_single/index.html#RESTEasy_Spring_Integration

<web-app>
    <context-param>
        <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
        <param-value>WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml</param-value>
    </context-param>
    <listener>
        <listener-class>org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.server.servlet.ResteasyBootstrap</listener-class>
    </listener>

    <listener>
        <listener-class>org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.spring.SpringContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
    </listener>

    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>resteasy-camel-servlet</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>org.apache.camel.component.resteasy.servlet.ResteasyCamelServlet</servlet-class>
    </servlet>

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>resteasy-camel-servlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

</web-app>

Then you can define your route as follows:

<context:component-scan base-package="org.apache.camel.component.resteasy.test">
    <context:include-filter type="annotation" expression="javax.ws.rs.Path"/>
</context:component-scan>

    ........

<camel:camelContext>

    <camel:route>
        <camel:from uri="resteasy:/customer/getAll?servletName=resteasy-camel-servlet"/>
        <camel:to uri="file://target/test/consumerTest?fileName=all.txt"/>
    </camel:route>

 </camel:camelContext>

Notice that component-scan is important to load resteasy servlet properly into container’s runtime.

Spring Boot Auto-Configuration

When using resteasy with Spring Boot make sure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for auto configuration:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-resteasy-starter</artifactId>
  <version>x.x.x</version>
  <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>

The component supports 11 options, which are listed below.
