ServletListener
...
Component
...
Available
...
as
...
of
...
Camel
...
2.11
...
This
...
component
...
is
...
used
...
for
...
bootstrapping
...
Camel
...
applications
...
in
...
web
...
applications.
...
For
...
example
...
beforehand
...
people
...
would
...
have
...
to
...
find
...
their
...
own
...
way
...
of
...
bootstrapping
...
Camel,
...
or
...
rely
...
on
...
3rd
...
party
...
frameworks
...
such
...
as
...
Spring
...
to
...
do
...
it.
...
...
This component supports Servlet 2.x
...
onwards,
...
which
...
mean
...
it
...
works
...
also
...
in
...
older
...
web
...
containers;
...
which
...
is
...
the
...
goal
...
of
...
this
...
component.
...
Though
...
Servlet
...
2.x
...
requires
...
to
...
use
...
a
...
web.xml
...
file
...
as
...
configuration.
...
For
...
Servlet
...
3.x
...
containers
...
you
...
can
...
use
...
annotation
...
driven
...
configuration
...
to
...
boostrap
...
Camel
...
using
...
the
...
@WebListener,
...
and
...
implement
...
your
...
own
...
class,
...
where
...
you
...
boostrap
...
Camel.
...
Doing
...
this
...
still
...
puts
...
the
...
challenge
...
how
...
to
...
let
...
end
...
users
...
easily
...
configure
...
Camel,
...
which
...
you
...
get
...
for
...
free
...
with
...
the
...
old
...
school
...
web.xml
...
file.
...
Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml
for this component:
...
Using
You would need to chose one of the following implementations of the abstract class org.apache.camel.component.servletlistener.CamelServletContextListener
...
.
JndiCamelServletContextListener
which uses theJndiRegistry
to leverage JNDI for its registry.SimpleCamelServletContextListener
which uses theSimpleRegistry
to leverage ajava.util.Map
...
- as
...
- its
...
- registry.
...
To
...
use
...
this
...
you
...
need
...
to
...
configure
...
the
...
org.apache.camel.component.servletlistener.CamelServletContextListener
...
in
...
the
...
WEB-INF/web.xml
...

Examples
See Servlet Tomcat No Spring Example.
Accessing the created CamelContext
Available as of Camel 2.14/2.13.3/2.12.5
The created CamelContext
is stored on the ServletContext
as an attribute with the key "CamelContext". You can get hold of the CamelContext if you can get hold of the ServletContext
as shown below:
...
Configuring routes
You need to configure which routes to use in the web.xml file. You can do this in a number of ways, though all the parameters must be prefixed with "routeBuilder".
Using a RouteBuilder class
By default Camel will assume the param-value is a FQN classname for a Camel RouteBuilder class, as shown below:
...
You can specify multiple classes in the same param-value
...
as
...
shown
...
below:
...
...
The name of the parameter does not have a meaning at runtime. It just need to be unique and start with "routeBuilder".
...
In
...
the
...
example
...
above
...
we
...
have
...
"routeBuilder-routes".
...
But
...
you
...
could
...
just
...
as
...
well
...
have
...
named
...
it
...
"routeBuilder.foo".
...
Using
...
package
...
scanning
...
You
...
can
...
also
...
tell
...
Camel
...
to
...
use
...
package
...
scanning,
...
which
...
mean
...
it
...
will
...
look
...
in
...
the
...
given
...
package
...
for
...
all
...
classes
...
of
...
...
types
...
and
...
automatic
...
adding
...
them
...
as
...
Camel
...
routes.
...
To
...
do
...
that
...
you
...
need
...
to
...
prefix
...
the
...
value
...
with
...
"packagescan:"
...
as
...
shown
...
below:
...
...
Using a XML file
You can also define Camel routes using XML DSL, though as we are not using Spring or Blueprint the XML file can only contain Camel route(s).
...
In
...
the
...
web.xml
...
you
...
refer
...
to
...
the
...
XML
...
file
...
which
...
can
...
be
...
from
...
"classpath",
...
"file"
...
or
...
a
...
"http"
...
url,
...
as
...
shown
...
below:
...
...
And the XML file is:
...
Notice that in the XML file the root tag is <routes> which must use the namespace "http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring".
...
This
...
namespace
...
is
...
having
...
the
...
spring
...
in
...
the
...
name,
...
but
...
that
...
is
...
because
...
of
...
historical
...
reasons,
...
as
...
Spring
...
was
...
the
...
first
...
and
...
only
...
XML
...
DSL
...
back
...
in
...
the
...
time.
...
At
...
runtime
...
no
...
Spring
...
JARs
...
is
...
needed.
...
Maybe
...
in
...
Camel
...
3.0
...
the
...
namespace
...
can
...
be
...
renamed
...
to
...
a
...
generic
...
name.

Configuring propert placeholders
Here is a snippet of a web.xml
...
configuration
...
for
...
setting
...
up
...
property
...
placeholders
...
to
...
load
...
myproperties.properties
...
from
...
the
...
classpath
...
...
Configuring JMX
Here is a snippet of a web.xml
...
configuration
...
for
...
configuring
...
JMX,
...
such
...
as
...
disabling
...
JMX.

...
JNDI or Simple as Camel Registry
This component uses either JNDI or Simple as the Registry.
This allows you to lookup Beans and other services in JNDI, and as well to bind and unbind your own Beans.
This is done from Java code by implementing the org.apache.camel.component.servletlistener.CamelContextLifecycle
...
.
Using custom CamelContextLifecycle
In the code below we use the callbacks beforeStart
and afterStop
to enlist our custom bean in the Simple Registry, and as well to cleanup when we stop.
...
Then
...
we
...
need
...
to
...
register
...
this
...
class
...
in
...
the
...
web.xml
...
file
...
as
...
shown
...
below,
...
using
...
the
...
parameter
...
name
...
"CamelContextLifecycle".
...
The
...
value
...
must
...
be
...
a
...
FQN
...
which
...
refers
...
to
...
the
...
class
...
implementing
...
the
...
org.apache.camel.component.servletlistener.CamelContextLifecycle
...
interface.
...
...
As we enlisted our HelloBean Bean using the name "myBean"
...
we
...
can
...
refer
...
to
...
this
...
...
in
...
the
...
Camel
...
routes
...
as
...
shown
...
below:
...
...
Important:
...
If
...
you
...
use
...
org.apache.camel.component.servletlistener.JndiCamelServletContextListener
...
then
...
the
...
CamelContextLifecycle
...
must
...
use
...
the
...
JndiRegistry
...
as
...
well.
...
And
...
likewise
...
if
...
the
...
servlet
...
is
...
org.apache.camel.component.servletlistener.SimpleCamelServletContextListener
...
then
...
the
...
CamelContextLifecycle
...
must
...
use
...
the
...
SimpleRegistry
