Send HTTP request from ESB

weiming.li Sep 20, 2010 6:09 AM

Hello

I'm a newbie of JBoss ESB, in order to send http request to a web server, I have composed a simple custom action, but when I trigger that action, I got such message constantly:

17:26:23,563 WARN [ActionProcessingPipeline] No fault address defined for fault message! To: InVMEpr [ PortReference < <wsa:Address invm://4d5342204875622424242424242424242424244d5342204875622053616d706c652031/false?false#10000/>, <wsa:ReferenceProperties jbossesb:passByValue : false/>, <wsa:ReferenceProperties jbossesb:type : urn:jboss/esb/epr/type/invm/> > ] MessageID: 20bc473c-ec09-414b-9cd7-0d70cd34dae1

Anyone can help me what should I do with this? Is it possible to post HTTP request to web server in ESB? Thank you.

You can use the HttpRouter action to send an HTTP request. See http://community.jboss.org/wiki/HttpRouter

Thanks, Scott.

But I have to do more than just sending a HTTP request, for instance, setting up token & secret, do some security authentication stuff before sending the actual request. I don't think HttpRouter can do that.

You can configure an HttpClientFactory to define security for the HttpRouter. See http://community.jboss.org/wiki/HttpClientFactory

Is it possible to invoke external library inside the HttpClientFactory? What I want to do is to leverage Scribe (an Java-twitter library) to send message to twitter, it wraps all the authentication module inside the library, I have to invoke this library somewhere, that's why I created a custom action class and invoke the java-twitter library in it.
