Actually, here is the slightly updated code from one of the tests which Willem did:

protected RouteBuilder createRouteBuilder() throws Exception {
        return new RouteBuilder() {
            public void configure() {
                final ResponseBuilder builder = Response.ok();

                from(CXF_RS_ENDPOINT_URI)
                    // should be able to convert to Customer
                    .convertBodyTo(Customer.class)
                    .to("mock:result")
                    // respond with OK
.transform(constant(builder.entity(***new Customer()***).build()));
            };
        };
    }

Note the cxfrs server endpoint accepts the request, the response object is run through the route and finally it can be set on the builder to do the marshalling done and the response returned.

The only thing I could not figure out quickly enough was how to actually get hold of this response object :-)

Cheers, Sergey

Willam,

thanks for the hint. I shall look into camel-cxfrs.

Could you give me a usage example of the cxfbean component? What would
be a scenario where immediate marshalling to the client-requested format
is desired? Is the idea that all work necessary to produce a meaningful
response is done in the resource class and the route only consists of
the cxfbean endpoint?


When you have a JAX-RS annotated bean with @Produces, it is not really
possible to 'delay' marshalling of the response object.

I think something interesting in this regard can also done with the new
JAX-RS 2.0 AsyncResponse: say at the top of the route the JAX-RS request
is accepted, suspended and resumed at some later stage (the end of the
route). This just a theory at the moment though, not sure how it will
can be coordinated with the Camel thread running the whole route

Perhaps one working option is to register a custom JAX-RS
MessageBodyReader which will simply cache the response object in its
writeTo method and then at the end of the route this provider will be
asked to 'flush' the response. Will it work for you ?

Sergey

Thanks!
Ralf

Hi Ralf,

I think you use misused the cxfbean component.
cxfbean component is trying to leverage the camel components to
provides different transports.

It will marshal and unmarshal the request and response out of box.

What's you need is camel-cxfrs[1] component, you should be able to get
the Java object of PriceReuqestMessage from the message body.
