Develop Real Time Applications – HTML5 using WebSocket and Apache Camel and ActiveMQ

Charles Moulliard, Senior Architect, FuseSource

The goal of this presentation is to present the different possibilities offered by Apache Camel and ActiveMQ to develop real time applications using WebSocket technology. The Apache Camel project is an open source integration framework providing a domain-specific language (DSL) for Enterprise Integration Patterns (EIP) like also connectors allowing to interconnect applications. Moreover, the different formats and languages (Xpath, OGNL, Mvel, Groovy, Javascript, Simple and Beans) supported by Apache Camel facilitates the validation, transformation of the exchanges in order to aggregate, enrich the real-time data that we would like to display in a web browser. By combining Apache Camel with a MOM broker (ActiveMQ), we have an (a)synchronous exchange platform to collect the realtime data from different backends and to push them to the WebSocket conector of Apache Camel.
