How to use HTTP endpoints with JBOSSESB

[kasunsam]

In content based routing i need to declare a http endpoint to which i can
forward a message after the filtering. How can i declare it.

One of community members is working on HTTP support within the bus (as a transport) at present.

One way is to declare an HttpRouter in your configuration.

Example below:

 <action class="org.jboss.soa.esb.actions.routing.HttpRouter" name="HttpRouter">
 <property name="routeUrl" value="http://localhost:9001/"></property>
 </action>

This will post the message to an http based endpoint.
Let me know if this doesn't work.

What is the scenario you are working with that requires the HTTP support?

Hi,

I am too in need of some help regarding http requests. The Scenario is as follows:

I have to request credit assessment information from different external providers one expects the request information in the simple param=value form the other as an request-xml String within a post request.

The result of both is an response xml which is currently parsed into an xml document, which is put into a message in a selfwritten action.

Maybe I'm missing some great features of jboss esb because I just began using it. What would be the recommended way of doing the above?

I take a look at reproducing your scenario on the bus and see what can be done in the this regard.

Thanks for the scenario this helps a lot.
