Hi Willem,
I have found that a simple way to do this is as below, I need to read up
more on SOAP to understand why the recommended approach using CXF is
failing. But for now this might be suitable.
Why this works is still unclear, I was imagining that jetty could be used
as a consumer or producer, but in this route it's a processor, but a
producer is a processor, so I guess that is why it works.
package temp.test;
import org.apache.camel.CamelContext;
import org.apache.camel.Exchange;
import org.apache.camel.builder.RouteBuilder;
import org.apache.camel.impl.DefaultCamelContext;
public class JettyRoute {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
CamelContext context = new DefaultCamelContext();
context.addRoutes(new RouteBuilder(){
public void configure(){
from("file://temp/soap/request?fileName=soap.xml&noop=true")
.convertBodyTo(String.class,"UTF-8")
.setHeader(Exchange.HTTP_METHOD,constant("POST"))
.setHeader(Exchange.CONTENT_TYPE,constant("text/xml"))
.to("jetty:http://xml.rothco.com/xmlfeed.asmx";)
.to("file://temp/soap/response?fileName=soap.xml");
}
});
context.start();
Thread.sleep(5000);
context.stop();
}
}
