Servlet — provides support for HTTP endpoints that are published as servlets
You can only consume from endpoints generated by the Servlet component. Therefore, it should only be used as input into your Apache Camel routes. To issue HTTP requests against other HTTP endpoints, use the HTTP Component.
Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their
pom.xml for this component:
Example 10. Adding the servlet dependency
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
<artifactId>camel-servlet</artifactId>
<version>x.x.x</version>
<!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>Table 28, “Servlet endpoint options” lists the options for a Servlet endpoint.
Table 28. Servlet endpoint options
| Name | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
httpBindingRef | Specifies a reference to an
org.apache.camel.component.http.HttpBinding in the registry. | |
matchOnUriPrefix | false | Specifies if the CamelServlet should try to find a target
consumer by matching the URI prefix if no exact match is found. |
servletName | Specifies the servlet name that the endpoint will bind to. If there is no servlet name specified, the endpoint will be bind to first published Servlet. |
Apache Camel will apply the same Message Headers as the HTTP component.
Apache Camel will also populate all
request.parameter and request.headers. For
example, if a client request has the URL,
http://myserver/myserver?orderid=123, the exchange will contain a
header named orderid with the value 123.
