After writing my post about setting up Apache CXF in OSGi<\/a>, I’ve had a couple people ask about how to do the same with Apache Camel<\/a>. Camel is a bit more complex due to all the libraries that it may pull in depending on which components you use, but it’s not really that much more complex.<\/p>\n

As with CXF, the easiest way to get it up and running would be to grab a distribution that has it ready to go. Again, I’d recommend either the Talend Integration Factory<\/a> or Talend ESB<\/a>. Both have Apache Camel<\/a>, Apache CXF<\/a> and Apache ActiveMQ<\/a> pre setup to run and everything well configured. The more popular Camel components are pre-installed with their dependencies making it fairly easy to get started.<\/p>\n

That said, setting up your own instance is really not that hard. <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Follow steps 1-3 from my post about setting up Apache CXF in OSGi<\/a>. This gets Karaf setup and ready.<\/li>\n
  2. From the Karaf command line, run:\n
    \r\nfeatures:addurl mvn:org.apache.activemq\/activemq-karaf\/5.5.0\/xml\/features\r\nfeatures:addurl mvn:org.apache.cxf.karaf\/apache-cxf\/2.5.0\/xml\/features\r\nfeatures:addurl mvn:org.apache.camel.karaf\/apache-camel\/2.8.2\/xml\/features\r\n<\/pre>\n
    That will add the ActiveMQ, CXF, and Camel features into Karafs feature resolver.\n<\/li>\n
  3. If you plan on using JMS, it’s recommended to install the ActiveMQ features first.  From the Karaf command line, run:\n
    \r\nfeatures:install activemq\r\nfeatures:install activemq-spring    (if you use spring)\r\n<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n
  4. Next up would be CXF if you plan on using the CXF components.  Again, from the Karaf command line, run:\n
    \r\nfeatures:install cxf\r\n<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n
  5. Finally, install the Camel components you are interested in using:\n
    \r\nfeatures:install camel-core\r\nfeatures:install camel-spring\r\nfeatures:install camel-jms\r\nfeatures:install camel-cxf\r\netc...\r\n<\/pre>\n
    You can get a list of the Camel features by doing a “features:list | grep camel” from the Karaf command line.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    That’s pretty much all there is to it.  It’s not hard.  \ud83d\ude42    It’s now all setup!   To try it out, I’d once again grabbing the samples package from Talend Integration Factory<\/a>.   There are several examples in there on how to do various Camel things, all running in OSGi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
