Question

So the problem that I am facing right now requires us to do the following:

1. We receive a message as an XML on a message queue
2. We do some basic parsing on the XML
3. We send a request with some information pulled from the XML off to another server
4. We wait for the response from that request
5. We create a new XML based on information from the response and in the initial XML
6. We put that new XML on a different message queue

We are using Camel on the team, and none of use have ever really used it before. From what I have read and looked into, it sounds like this is something that Camel should support, but I don’t know how we configure the route to make it work.

Any help is appreciated!

Answer 1

in short, something like this…

from("activemq:queue:inbound")
    .process(new PreProcessor())   //parses inbound message and prepares server request
    .to("http://someserver")       //could be any request/reply endpoint
    .process(new PostProcessor())  //parses the response and prepares the outbound message
    .to("activemq:queue:outboud");
