CXF Component

The cxf: component provides integration with Apache CXF for connecting to JAX-WS services hosted in CXF.

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

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

URI format

cxf://address?options

Where address represents the CXF endpoint's address

cxf:bean:cxfEndpoint

Where cxfEndpoint represents the spring bean's name which presents the CXF endpoint

For either style above, you can append options to the URI as follows:

cxf:bean:cxfEndpoint?wsdlURL=wsdl/hello_world.wsdl&dataFormat=PAYLOAD

Options

Name

wsdlURL

The location of the WSDL.

file://local/wsdl/hello.wsdl or wsdl/hello.wsdl

No

WSDL is obtained from endpoint address by default

The descriptions of the dataformats

DataFormat

Description

POJO

POJOs (Plain old Java objects) are the Java parameters to the method being invoked on the target server.

PAYLOAD

PAYLOAD is the message payload (the contents of the soap:body) after message configuration in the CXF endpoint is applied.

MESSAGE

MESSAGE is the raw message that is received from the transport layer.

Configure the CXF endpoints with spring

You can configure the CXF endpoint with the below spring configuration file, and you can also embed the endpoint into the camelContext tags.

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xmlns:cxf="http://activemq.apache.org/camel/schema/cxfEndpoint"
          
       xsi:schemaLocation="
       http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.0.xsd
       http://activemq.apache.org/camel/schema/cxfEndpoint http://activemq.apache.org/camel/schema/cxf/cxfEndpoint.xsd
       http://activemq.apache.org/camel/schema/spring http://activemq.apache.org/camel/schema/spring/camel-spring.xsd
    ">

   <cxf:cxfEndpoint id="routerEndpoint" address="http://localhost:9003/CamelContext/RouterPort" 
    		serviceClass="org.apache.hello_world_soap_http.GreeterImpl"/>
    		
   <cxf:cxfEndpoint id="serviceEndpoint" address="http://localhost:9000/SoapContext/SoapPort" 
    		wsdlURL="testutils/hello_world.wsdl"
    		serviceClass="org.apache.hello_world_soap_http.Greeter"
    		endpointName="s:SoapPort"
    		serviceName="s:SOAPService"
    	xmlns:s="http://apache.org/hello_world_soap_http" />
    		
   <camelContext id="camel" xmlns="http://activemq.apache.org/camel/schema/spring">
    <route>
      <from uri="cxf:bean:routerEndpoint" />
      <to uri="cxf:bean:serviceEndpoint" /> 
    </route>
   </camelContext> 
 

</beans>

Be sure to include the JAX-WS schemaLocation attribute specified on the root beans element. This allows CXF to validate the file and is required. Also note the namespace declarations at the end of the <cxf:cxfEndpoint/> tag--these are required because the combined "{namespace}localName" syntax is presently not supported for this tag's attribute values.

The jaxws:endpoint element supports many additional attributes:

Name

Value

PortName

The endpoint name this service is implementing, it maps to the wsdl:port@name. In the format of "ns:PORT_NAME" where ns is a namespace prefix valid at this scope.

serviceName

The service name this service is implementing, it maps to the wsdl:service@name. In the format of "ns:SERVICE_NAME" where ns is a namespace prefix valid at this scope.

wsdlURL

The location of the WSDL. Can be on the classpath, file system, or be hosted remotely.

bindingId

The bindingId for the service model to use

address

The service publish address

bus

The bus name that will be used in the jaxws endpoint.

serviceClass

The class name of the SEI(Service Endpoint Interface) class which could have JSR181 annotation or not

It also supports many child elements:

Name

Value

cxf:inInterceptors

The incoming interceptors for this endpoint. A list of <bean>s or <ref>s.

cxf:inFaultInterceptors

The incoming fault interceptors for this endpoint. A list of <bean>s or <ref>s.

cxf:outInterceptors

The outgoing interceptors for this endpoint. A list of <bean>s or <ref>s.

cxf:outFaultInterceptors

The outgoing fault interceptors for this endpoint. A list of <bean>s or <ref>s.

cxf:properties

A properties map which should be supplied to the JAX-WS endpoint. See below.

cxf:dataBinding

You can specify the which DataBinding will be use in the endpoint, This can be supplied using the Spring <bean class="MyDataBinding"/> syntax.

cxf:binding

You can specify the BindingFactory for this endpoint to use. This can be supplied using the Spring <bean class="MyBindingFactory"/> syntax.

cxf:features

The features that hold the interceptors for this endpoint. A list of <bean>s or <ref>s

cxf:schemaLocations

The schema locations for endpoint to use. A list of <schemaLocation>s

cxf:serviceFactory

The service factory for this endpoint to use. This can be supplied using the Spring <bean class="MyServiceFactory"/> syntax

You can find more advanced examples which show how to provide interceptors and properties here: http://cwiki.apache.org/CXF20DOC/jax-ws-configuration.html

How to consume the message from the camel-cxf endpoint in POJO data format

The camel-cxf endpoint consumer POJO data format is based on the cxf invoker, so the message header has a property with the name of CxfConstants.OPERATION_NAME and the message body is a list of the SEI method parameters.

               from(SIMPLE_ENDPOINT_URI).process(new Processor() {
                    public void process(final Exchange exchange) {
                        Message request = exchange.getIn();
                        // Get the parameter list
                        List parameter = in.getBody(List.class);
                        // Get the operation name
                        String operation = (String)in.getHeader(CxfConstants.OPERATION_NAME);
                        Object result = null;
                        if (operation.equals(ECHO_OPERATION)) {
                            result = operation + " " + (String)parameter.get(0);
                        }                        
                        // Put the result back
                        exchange.getOut().setBody(result);
                    }
                });

How to prepare the message for the camel-cxf endpoint in POJO data format

The camel-cxf endpoint producer is based on the cxf client API. First you need to specify the operation name in the message header , then add the method parameters into a list and set the message with this parameter list will be ok. The response message's body is an object array, you can get the result from that array.

        CxfExchange exchange = (CxfExchange)template.send(getJaxwsEndpointUri(), new Processor() {
            public void process(final Exchange exchange) {
                final List<String> params = new ArrayList<String>();
                params.add(TEST_MESSAGE);
                exchange.getIn().setBody(params);
                exchange.getIn().setHeader(CxfConstants.OPERATION_NAME, GREET_ME_OPERATION);
            }
        });

        org.apache.camel.Message out = exchange.getOut();
        Object[] output = (Object[])out.getBody();
        LOG.info("Received output text: " + output[0]);
        assertEquals("reply body on Camel", "Hello " + TEST_MESSAGE, output[0]);
