Hi >From Camel 2.14.1 onwards we have made this easier with https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-8104
So if you have a custom error message you just set the HTTP error code to a value 300+ and rest-dsl will not do output binding. There is a new option that is turned on by default, you can turn it off to use the old behavior. And the rest-dsl documentation has a little example in the bottom https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CAMEL/Rest+DSL On Sun, Nov 9, 2014 at 11:24 PM, Gary Kennedy <g...@apnic.net> wrote: > I changed the way I used the servlet/rest component and it works for me now. > > I'm still using the same bean setup as before: > <reference id="httpService" > interface="org.osgi.service.http.HttpService"/> > <bean id="camelServlet" class="...CamelHttpTransportServlet"/> > <bean id="registration" class="...OsgiServletRegisterer" > init-method="register" destory-method="unregister"> > <property name="alias" value="/example"/> > <property name="servletName" value="MyServlet"/> > <property name="servlet" ref="camelServlet"/> > <property name="httpService" ref="httpService"/> > </bean> > > But now I've dropped the rest part, and using servlet endpoints to start the > routes: > <camelContext> > <dataFormats> > <json id="json" .../> > </dataFormats> > <route> > <from uri="servlet:///route?servletName=MyServlet"/> > <unmarshal ref="json"/> > < !-- lots of magic --> > <onException> > <exception>net.me.MyException</exception> > <handled><constant>true</constant></handled> > < !-- more magic --> > <setHeader headerName="Content-Type"> > <constant>application/json</constant> > </setHeader> > <setBody> > <simple>{ "error": "${exception.message}" }</simple> > </setBody> > </onException> > </route> > </camelContext> > > The bonus to using this method is that the unmarshalling is covered by the > in-route onException block as well. > > The downside is that now I have to work on the http method filtering (ie, > making the route POST/GET specific).
