Camel file binding get FileEndpoint

[hamid1982]

Hi,

I m trying to get the FileEndpoint Object on my "FileBindingBean" implementation of "FileBinding" service to get the properties of the class GenericFileEndpoint. I tried to extends the FileEndpoint class but it doesnt work.

Could you please help me on this issue?

Best Regards.

The FileEndpoint is not passed into the bean implementation.  You can inject an @Context reference which will allow you to query context properties inside your bean service.  More info on that can be found in the docs here:

https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/SWITCHYARD/Bean+Services

To give you an idea of which context properties are available to your implementation, here's a snip of a message trace from the camel-binding quickstart (which uses File gateway):

Exchange Context -> 
          CamelBatchIndex : 0
          CamelBatchSize : 1
          CamelToEndpoint : switchyard://GreetingService?namespace=urn%3Aswitchyard-quickstart%3Acamel-binding%3A0.1.0
          CamelCreatedTimestamp : Wed Jan 16 08:30:50 EST 2013
          CamelBatchComplete : true
          CamelFileExchangeFile : GenericFile[test.txt]
Message Context -> 
          org.switchyard.contentType : java:java.lang.String
          org.switchyard.messageId : a2ae79c6-88dd-4cec-a9b3-8cd08163cafb

As workaround you can use:

@ApplicationScoped
class Factory {
    @Produces @Named("file")
    public FileComponent create() {
        return new FileComponent();
    }
}

@Service(SomeInterface.class)
class ServiceImpl implements SomeInterface {
    @Inject FileComponent component;

    // somewhere
    {
        FileEndpoint endpoint = (FileEndpoint) component.getCamelContext().getEndpoint("file-endpoint-uri");
    }
}

This however, is solution which can be assigned to 'dirty hack' category. Why you require endpoint instance inside your bean service?
