Need feature to invoke a specific method in Quartz Gateway

[hisao.furuichi]

Hello.

I have a feature request about quartz gateway.

To create a message, I want to invoke a specific class's method whenever Quartz gateway sends a message. With JBoss-esb, I can write following sample code. org.jboss.soa.esb.sample.quickstart.camelesbschedule.SimpleBean.getOutput() will return String object as message.

<camel-gateway name="gateway1">
<from uri="esbschedule:5000:class:org.jboss.soa.esb.samples.quickstart.camelesbschedule.SimpleBean?method=getOutput"/>
</camel-gateway>

With SwitchYard, I can not specify any method in a <quartz> tag. Here is what I got so far.

<service name="gateway1" promote="gateway1s">
<quartz:binding.quartz xmlns:quartz="urn:switchyard-component-camel-quartz:config:1.0">
<quartz:name>Every5SecondJob</quartz:name>
<quartz:cron>0/5 * * * * ?</quartz:cron>
</quartz:binding.quartz>
</service>

By checking http://camel.apache.org/quartz, it looks like camel quartz component doesn't support it.

Please consider to support this feature by SwitchYard. I opend a ticket(SWITCHYARD-1624) for this request.

You could use a custom message composer to achieve the same behavior in SY now.  Slightly more involved than just invoking a bean method, but still gets the job done.  Instead of adding the capability to invoke a bean to quartz bindings specifically, it might be nice if we introduced a lightweight composer API which could simply be a bean.  That would address your specific case and also make working with composers easier in general.

Thank you for the inputs, Keith

I'll try with custom message composer and update the results

Thx
