SpringBootCamelStarter

My starter project for a Spring Boot application using Apache Camel.

This contains a number of 'funky' features that are useful for development and demonstrations. They can easily be disabled for production if required.

The project is pre-configured with the following items:

• Spring Boot
• Spring Boot Camel
• Spring Remote Shell
• Jetty
• Spring Boot Actuator
• Jolokia
• Hawt.io

This gives you the following capabilities:

• Apache Camel, Enterprise Integration Patterns, embedded in a Spring Boot project
• HTTP Servlet container - for actuator and your own HTTP routes
• Metrics
• Monitoring
• SSH/Telnet remote console for managing application and Camel routes

The following endpoints are available when you run the application:

Endpoints available

Hawtio

Endpoint: http://{host}:8095/hawtio

Access to the Hawt.io monitoring console is protected

 Username:admin
 Password:admin

Jolokia

Endpoint: http://{host}:8095/jolokia

This provide conversion from JMX to REST/json. It is required for the hawt.io console

Actuator endpoints

These are the standard Spring Boot Actuator endpoints for 'Production ready' code. These are exposed on a different port to the main application to enable their protection using standard firewall port protection.
Authentication is enabled.

 Username:admin
 Password:admin

Endpoints

 http://{host}:8095/metrics
 http://{host}:8095/env
 http://{host}:8095/health
 http://{host}:8095/mappings
 http://{host}:8095/configprops
 http://{host}:8095/trace
 http://{host}:8095/info
 http://{host}:8095/dump

Remote shell

The Spring remote shell is included in the base build. This provides SSH command line access to the application. More information can be found here (http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/production-ready-remote-shell.html).

In summary connect to ssh -p 2000 user@localhost using the password displayed when the application starts-up.

The camel commands have also been included to allow control of the executing routes. Example

Once connected type camel route-list camel-1 this will display the currently defined routes.

Camel Routes

Two camel routes are defined using differant mechanisms:

1. A timer that logs a message every second defined using 'RouteBuilder'
2. A route that exposes a HTTP endpoint and returns 'Hello world', http://{host}:8085, defined in the configuration bean.
