(fuse 4.2) how to call an external web service with camel?

[walter.accantelli]

Hi all,

I'm trying to develop an EIP with Apache Camel in order to have the following scenario:

1) Expose a simple web service (SampleService) and read an incoming parameter (SampleIn string)

2) Call an external service (for this sample, I've used a public weather service http://ws.cdyne.com/WeatherWS/Weather.asmx?wsdl) and get the response from external weather service (i.e. weather city)

3) Compose and return a sample response (SampleOut string)

I package the sample and deployed successfully into my Fuse 4.2 installation:

    osgi:list |grep Sample

    Web Service Sample 1 (0.1)

Calling the web service at http://localhost:9105/CamelContext/MySample I get the following error:

Error processing Exchange. Exchange[Message: org.example.sample.SampleRequest@138fec2]. Caused by:

--

This is what I've done (I've attached the eclipse code):

1) Create sample.wsdl and generate the endpoint

2) Create a camel route the read incoming request and return a response

3) Create the client classes (using cxf-codegen-plugin with -client option) to call the external web service

4) Add the web service client calling code to camel route bean

That error occours when I instantiate the objects I need to call the external web service:

    Weather weatherService = new Weather();    // here I got the error

    WeatherSoap weatherSoap = weatherService.getWeatherSoap();

    WeatherReturn weatherReturn = weatherSoap.getCityWeatherByZIP("zip");

    String weatherCity = weatherReturn.getCity();

I read in the Fuse forum that other developers have the same issue with Fuse 4.2, that has been resolved as described here: http://fusesource.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=1692&tstart=0

But it doesn't work to me.

Does anyone have suggestions?

Does anyone have a working sample to call an external web service with Fuse 4.2?

Thanks in advance,

walter

Hi,

It seems you install a geronimo-jaxws_2.1_spec bundle which shouldn't be there.

Do you edit

$SMX_HOME/system/org/apache/camel/karaf/apache-camel/2.2.0-fuse-01-00/apache-camel-2.2.0-fuse-01-00-features.xml

replace

?

which I suggest in that thread?

This is already fixed but it's after 4.2 release, so you need manually do it for 4.2.

Could you please append

osgi:list

result?

Yes, I replace that bundle as you suggested in previous thread.

Here is my osgi list.

Thanks for your support,

Hi,

Ok, so geronimo-jaxws_2.1_spec (1.0) is still there.

You need uninstall this bundle or you can simply remove $SMX_HOME/data folder to get a clean env after you edit camel-features.xml

Ok, it works.

I've cleaned data folder and restart fuse - now it works well.

Thanks for your support,
