Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the info. I have a lot more to learn, but taking the format from the updated smooks-config.xml got my example to work.

Thanks very much!

Hi Gary,

I created an example of the smooks-camel integration yesterday and think I came across the same issue you are seeing. There have been some changes to the configuration with regards to camel which was the issue I had. This is what the smooks-config.xml looks like in the example:
https://svn.codehaus.org/milyn/workspaces/tfennelly/camel-integration/examples/camel-integration/src/main/resources/smooks-config.xml

The full example can be found here: https://svn.codehaus.org/milyn/workspaces/tfennelly/camel-integration/examples/camel-integration/

Can you take a look and compare with your version? If you can’t get it working could you create an eclipse or maven project and I’d be happy to take a look.

Regards,

/Daniel

Hi – I’m interested in using this functionality but unfortunately the latest releases of Smooks and Camel don’t include these enhancements yet. Is there a way I can use this implementation using Smooks 1.3 and Camel 2.4 or 2.3? I tried including the camel-1.4.xsd from svn but am getting this error:

src-resolve: Cannot resolve the name ’smooks:abstract-resource-config’ to a(n) ‘element declaration’ component. camel-1.4.xsd

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Gary

Hi Christian.

Well we can host this as part of the Smooks project, or as part of the Camel project. I’m happy to donate the prototype I did to Camel/Apache as the basis of an integration.

Perhaps we can discuss this via email?

Hello Tom,

for Camel 2.4 (the current Camel release) we plan to improve the integration between Camel and Smooks. We track this issue in JIRA: https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/CAMEL-2761

I would like, if you could have an eye on this issue and correct my, if I’m wrong with some points.

Based on what you have already done, I will update the Camel WIKI with some documentations, samples and maybe some unit tests.
After this, I would like to think a bit whether or not we could improve this integration further.
Do you have any ideas, when Smooks v1.4 will be released?

Regards,
Christian

Hi Claus.

We plan on getting it into the v1.4 release (http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MILYN-455).

We’d be more than happy to receive some help if it’s on offer

We cleaned it up a little (in the workspace) based on your comments. The routing is now a little cleaner e.g. https://svn.codehaus.org/milyn/workspaces/tfennelly/camel-integration/camel/src/test/java/org/milyn/smooks/camel/bean_routing_01.xml

So how goes with this? Need any help from the Camel community?

As far as using Smooks for message splitting, the Camel DSL has the split() function. Smooks could be plugged in as a type of split.

Hi Claus.

For sure… we could default the routing event to be that of the associated bean, removing the need to configure that attribute (and the duplication etc).

Ups the XML tag is not visible on comments

Basically 1 camel:router which contains 2 conditions which each have their own toEndpoint attribute to send the GB and IE to the right JMS queues.
