I'm happy to announce that the first cut of the Camel subsystem is available at

https://github.com/tdiesler/jboss-as/tree/8.0.0.Alpha1-Camel-M1

Features

It includes Apache Camel 2.11.0 and comes with support for

• Use core Camel API from any subsystem, module or bundle deployment
• Preconfigured Camel contexts as part of the subsystem configuration
• Deployment of a Camel context definition as single XML file
• Camel context deployment as part of any supported deployment type (i.e. javaee, osgi, etc)
• Camel contexts available as MSC/OSGi services, so other services can depend on them

For details, have a look at the camel testsuite

As always, a feature that is not covered is not there ;-)

How to build

git clone -b 8.0.0.Alpha1-Camel-M1 https://github.com/tdiesler/jboss-as jboss-as-camel
cd jboss-as-camel
mvn -Dts.osgi clean install
...

You can start the WildFly Camel Server like this

cd build/target/jboss-as-8.0.0.Alpha1-SNAPSHOT
bin/standalone.sh -c standalone-camel.xml
...

Minimal WildFly Camel Server

Using the WildFly modular build feature we can reduce the size of the Camel WildFly Server by half (i.e. 74MB)

cd build-modular
mvn -Dmodular=camel clean install
...
build-standalone-server:
    [mkdir] Created dir: /Users/tdiesler/git/jboss-as/build-modular/target/jboss-as-camel-8.0.0.Alpha1-SNAPSHOT/modules/system/layers/base
    [copy] Copying 246 files to /Users/tdiesler/git/jboss-as/build-modular/target/jboss-as-camel-8.0.0.Alpha1-SNAPSHOT
    [copy] Copied 45 empty directories to 9 empty directories under /Users/tdiesler/git/jboss-as/build-modular/target/jboss-as-camel-8.0.0.Alpha1-SNAPSHOT
    [copy] Copying 1 file to /Users/tdiesler/git/jboss-as/build-modular/target/jboss-as-camel-8.0.0.Alpha1-SNAPSHOT/standalone/configuration
    [copy] Copying 314 files to /Users/tdiesler/git/jboss-as/build-modular/target/jboss-as-camel-8.0.0.Alpha1-SNAPSHOT/modules/system/layers/base

The server extensions that are available in the minimal WildFly Camel Server are

    <extensions>
        <extension module="org.jboss.as.camel"/>
        <extension module="org.jboss.as.configadmin"/>
        <extension module="org.jboss.as.deployment-scanner"/>
        <extension module="org.jboss.as.jmx"/>
        <extension module="org.jboss.as.logging"/>
        <extension module="org.jboss.as.osgi"/>
    </extensions>

Intentionally, this is stripped down to the bare minimum that makes Camel work on WildFly. Future versions of the of the WildFly Camel Server will include addtional subsystems that the Camel subsystem will then integrate with.

Looking forward to your feedback

Cheers
