camel-log: Demonstrates how to use logging with Camel

Author: Fuse Team
Level: Beginner
Technologies: Camel
Summary: This quickstart shows a simple Apache Camel application that logs a message to the server log every 5th second.
Target Product: Fuse
Source: https://github.com/jboss-fuse/quickstarts

What is it?

This quick start shows how to create a simple Apache Camel application that logs a message to the server log every 5th second.
This example is implemented using solely the XML DSL (there is no Java code). The source code is provided in the following XML file src/main/resources/OSGI-INF/blueprint/camel-log.xml.

This example uses a timer to trigger every 5th second, and then writes a message to the server log, as shown in the diagram below:

System requirements

Before building and running this quick start you need:

• Maven 3.1.1 or higher
• JDK 1.7 or 1.8
• JBoss Fuse 6

Build and Deploy the Quickstart

1. Change your working directory to camel-log directory.

• Run mvn clean install to build the quickstart.

• Start JBoss Fuse 6 by running bin/fuse (on Linux) or bin\fuse.bat (on Windows).

• In the JBoss Fuse console, enter the following command:

    osgi:install -s mvn:org.jboss.quickstarts.fuse/beginner-camel-log/6.3.0.redhat-187
  

• Fuse should give you an id when the bundle is deployed

• You can check that everything is ok by issuing the command:

    osgi:list
  

  your bundle should be present at the end of the list

Use the bundle

To use the application be sure to have deployed the quickstart in Fuse as described above.

1. At the fuse prompt, enter the following command: log:tail
2. Every 5 seconds you will see a message containing ">>> Hello from Fabric based Camel route!"
3. Hit ctrl-c to return to the fuse prompt.

Undeploy the Archive

To stop and undeploy the bundle in Fuse:

1. Enter osgi:list command to retrieve your bundle id

2. To stop and uninstall the bundle enter

    osgi:uninstall <id>
   

If you would like to try this example in a fabric follow the instructions below

• Start JBoss Fuse 6 by running bin/fuse (on Linux) or bin\fuse.bat (on Windows).

• In the JBoss Fuse console, enter the following command:

  fabric:create --wait-for-provisioning

Building this example

The example comes as source code and pre-built binaries with the fabric8 distribution.

To try the example you do not need to build from source first. Although building from source allows you to modify the source code, and re-deploy the changes to fabric. See more details on the fabric8 website about the developer workflow.

To build from the source code:

1. Change your working directory to quickstarts/beginner/camel-log directory.
2. Run mvn clean install to build the quickstart.
3. Run mvn fabric8:deploy to upload the quickstart to the fabric container.

If you run the fabric:deploy command for the first then, it will ask you for the username and password to login the fabric container. And then store this information in the local Maven settings file. You can find more details about this on the fabric8 website about the Maven Plugin.

How to run this example

The following information is divided into two sections, whether you are using the command line shell in fabric, or using the web console

Using the command line shell

You can deploy and run this example at the console command line, as follows:

1. It is assumed that you have already created a fabric and are logged into a container called root.

2. Create a new child container and deploy the quickstarts-beginner-camel.log profile in a single step, by entering the following command at the console:

    fabric:container-create-child --profile quickstarts-beginner-camel.log root mychild
   

3. Wait for the new child container, mychild, to start up. Use the fabric:container-list command to check the status of the mychild container and wait until the [provision status] is shown as success.

How to try this example

1. Log into the mychild container using the fabric:container-connect command, as follows:

    fabric:container-connect mychild
   

2. View the container log using the log:tail command as follows:

    log:tail
   

To exit the tail logger, press Ctrl-D. And to logout from the mychild container, then use the exit command, which returns back to the root container.

Undeploy this example

To stop and undeploy the example in fabric8:

1. Disconnect from the child container by typing Ctrl-D at the console prompt.

2. Stop and delete the child container by entering the following command at the console:

    fabric:container-stop mychild
    fabric:container-delete mychild
   

Using the web console

You can deploy and run this example from the web console, as follows

1. It is assumed that you have already created a fabric and are logged into a container called root.
2. Login the web console
3. Click the Wiki button in the navigation bar
4. Select quickstarts --> beginner --> camel.log
5. Click the New button in the top right corner
6. In the Create New Container page, enter mychild in the Container Name field, and click the Create and start container button

How to try this example

This example comes with sample data which you can use to try this example

1. Login the web console
2. Click the Containers button in the navigation bar
3. Select the mychild container in the containers list, and click the open button right next to the container name.
4. A new window opens and connects to the container. Click the Logs button in the navigation bar if the logs are not already displayed
5. You can also click the Camel button in the top navigation bar, to see information about the Camel application.

Undeploy this example

To stop and undeploy the example in fabric8:

1. In the web console, click the Runtime button in the navigation bar.
2. Select the mychild container in the Containers list, and click the Stop button in the top right corner
