Thanks everyone for the input much appreciated. Over the weekend I played around with Matthew's example which was very helpful and I got it working. Next week's assignment will be to try to learn how to capture the response from the web services and websockets endpoints. But the more I learn about Camel the more I like it and like it's purpose.
Matt once again thanks!!

Either way, I've been using the camel cxf component. Step1: Create a CxfEndpoint in your camel route like the following: CxfEndpoint toEndpoint = new CxfEndpoint(); toEndpoint.setCamelContext(getContext()); toEndpoint.setWsdlURL("wsdl/PaymentTimesheetService.wsdl"); toEndpoint.setAddress(System.getProperty("mtaworkflow.address.absolute")); toEndpoint.setDataFormat(DataFormat.PAYLOAD); Note, I use PAYLOAD data format, which means you'll need to unmarshal / marshal your messages bodies before sending / consuming using the jaxbdataformat. See below // setup jaxb formatters org.apache.camel.converter.jaxb.JaxbDataFormat etsEntityDataFormat = new org.apache.camel.converter.jaxb.JaxbDataFormat( "au.gov.qld.ambulance.services.data.messaging.entity.services.corporate.hri. mta" ); org.apache.camel.converter.jaxb.JaxbDataFormat mtaEntityDataFormat = new org.apache.camel.converter.jaxb.JaxbDataFormat( "au.gov.qld.ambulance.services.data.mtaworkflow" ); Then in your route do the following .process(new Processor() { @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") public void process(final Exchange exchange) throws Exception { TimesheetRequest timesheetRequest = (TimesheetRequest) exchange.getIn().getBody(); ETimesheetRequest eTimesheetRequest = new ETimesheetRequest(); eTimesheetRequest.setHeader(timesheetRequest.getHeader()); eTimesheetRequest.setTimesheetId(timesheetRequest.getTimesheetId()); exchange.getIn().setBody(eTimesheetRequest); } }) .marshal(etsEntityDataFormat) .setHeader("operationName", simple("create")) .setHeader("operationNamespace", simple("http://services.ambulance.qld.gov.au/mtaworkflow") ) .to(toEndpoint) There's many ways of doing it in camel as you've probably noticed, this works best for me, as I use karaf as my runtime and I wanted one Cxf server running in my container (ie. Once instance running on same host/port for multiple endpoints that I provide). If you want consume RESTful services, I use the caml-http component, which makes things very easy just do the following in java dsl .to("http://pc003142:8983/solr/QASCostCode/select?bridgeEndpoint=true") Hope this helps you.

I'm trying to consume a web service like : as url.com/account/login?USERNAME=username&PASSWORD=password A string with a session ID is returned which I need to assign to a variable. My question is which component would be recommend for this particular type of use. And is there a Pure Java example? At the risk of sounding obtuse, I have gone through the examples and online reference and a book I purchased... but I'm still a bit confused. Thanks for any help!!
