Karaf Support

Apache Camel is designed to work nicely inside Apache Karaf OSGi container.

It includes:

  • Camel features descriptor allowing to easily and quickly install Camel in Karaf.
  • Karaf commands allowing you to view, start, stop, get info, about the Camel contexts and routes running in the Karaf instance.

It is recommended to use at least Apache Karaf 4.x with current Camel versions.

 

Install Camel in Karaf

Assuming that you have a running Karaf instance, you can register the Camel features descriptor:

karaf@root> feature:repo-add camel 2.18.4

Now, we have all Camel features available:

karaf@root> features:list|grep -i camel
[uninstalled] [2.8.0          ] camel                         repo-0
[uninstalled] [2.8.0          ] camel-core                    repo-0
[uninstalled] [2.8.0          ] camel-spring                  repo-0
[uninstalled] [2.8.0          ] camel-blueprint               repo-0
[uninstalled] [2.8.0          ] camel-test                    repo-0
[uninstalled] [2.8.0          ] camel-cxf                     repo-0
...

It is a good start to at least install camel-blueprint

karaf@root> features:install camel-blueprint

You might need other features depending on what components you use in your routes. So for example if you use stream:out then you need the camel-stream feature.

karaf@root> features:install camel-stream

Karaf commands

The camel commands below help managing your integrations. In many cases the commands support tab completion for context and route names.

Command

camel:context-list

Lists the camel contexts available in the current Karaf instance

camel:context-info

camel:context-start

Starts the given Camel context

camel:context-stop

Stops the given Camel context (it becomes unavailable and it can't be started afterwards)

camel:route-list

Displays the list of Camel routes available in the current Karaf instance

camel:route-info

Provides detail information about a Camel route

camel:route-show

Renders the route in XML

camel:route-start

Starts the given route. From Camel 2.10 onwards you can use * as wildcard to match multiple routes.

camel:route-stop

Stops the given route. From Camel 2.10 onwards you can use * as wildcard to match multiple routes.

camel:route-suspend

Suspends the given route. From Camel 2.10 onwards you can use * as wildcard to match multiple routes.

camel:route-resume

camel:endpoint-list

Lists endpoints fromm all camel contexts available in the current Karaf instance

camel:route-profile

You can also filter the routes by CamelContext:

karaf@root> camel:route-list 66-camel-3
[route1              ]

Tip: use the TAB key to completion on the CamelContext ID.

camel:context-info

Displays detailed information about a given CamelContext:

add the *--verbose* option (following the context name) to also list the endpoints

karaf@root> camel:context-info 66-camel-3
Camel Context 66-camel-3
        Name: 66-camel-3
        Version: 2.8.0

Used Languages

You can see the current Camel version used by the CamelContext, some context attributes, the components involved in the context, and the endpoints defined.

Tip: use TAB key for completion on the CamelContext name.

camel:route-info

The *camel:route-info* command provides detail information about a Camel route:

karaf@root> camel:route-info route1
Camel Route route1
        Camel Context: 66-camel-3

Properties
                id = route1
                parent = 2e7aacc1

Definition
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<route id="route1" xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring">
    <from uri="timer:test"/>
    <to uri="log:test" id="to1"/>
</route>

You can see some statistics (the number of processed exchanges, the processing time, etc) and a XML rendering of your route (whatever DSL used to define the route).

Tip: use TAB key for completion on the route name.

camel:route-show

The *camel:route-show* command renders the route in XML. It's independent from the DSL used to define the route:

karaf@root> camel:route-show route1
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<route id="route1" xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring">
    <from uri="timer:test"/>
    <to uri="log:test" id="to1"/>
</route>

Tip: use TAB key for completion on the route name.

camel:route-suspend

The *camel:route-suspend* command suspends a Camel route:

karaf@root> camel:route-suspend route1

Tip: use TAB key for completion on the route name.

camel:route-resume

The *camel:route-resume* command resume a Camel route:

karaf@root> camel:route-resume route1

Tip: use TAB key for completion on the route name.

camel:endpoint-list

The *camel:endpoint-list* command displays the list of the endpoints available in all camel contexts of the current Karaf instance:

karaf@root> camel:endpoint-list 
camel-id             uri                  Status              
[test              ] [timer://test      ] [Started           ]
[test              ] [direct://A        ] [Started           ]

It displays the context name/ID (used in others commands), the URI of the endpoint and the current status (started/stopped).
