Why deploying Apache Camel in Apache Karaf is not working? - apache-camel

I follow this tutorial carefully to deploy Apache Camel Hello World in Apache Karaf in in Windows 7. But it is not working as expected. The Apache Karaf console not show the stream message from Camel route.
This is screenshot from karaf console which not show anything.

The output of karaf is shown when you enter:
log:display
(or ld for short)

Running a Spring Boot Camel inside Jboss Fuse

I have a application running Spring Boot Camel which consume message from a ActiveMQ and write to a file:
#Override
public void configure() throws Exception {
from("activemq:queue:MyQueue").to("file:/tmp/somemessages/");
}
Very simple and works fine if run mvn spring-boot:run.
But now i need generate a bundle jar to install in my RedHat Fuse OSGi container. Everything was installed and started without error, see:
So, my camel-app is Active but after produce some messages in my ActiveMQ Queue nothing works as i expect, so the file was not generated.
How can i see if something is wrong ? Application Console Log or something like this ?
This is not a good practice. Spring Boot is intended for running Standalone. In an OSGi based runtime such as Red Hat Fuse or Apache Karaf/ServiceMix you should deploy OSGi apps, which with Camel is camel-blueprint (you can also use Java routes with blueprint). So take a look at examples how to do that, and there should be examples shipped with Red Hat Fuse you can look at.
How can i see if something is wrong ? Application Console Log or something like this ?
The simple answer is you can run diagnostic command on your bundle by running following command inside your shell console:
bundle:diag {your-bundle-id}
You may replace {your-bundle-id} by preferred bundle id that is 231 in the picture. There is also a complete list of Apache Karaf commands that may be useful for further requirements.

Is it possible to use camel-2.16.2 with servicemix 5.6.0 and karaf -2.4.4?

In our application we have encountered impotency issue which is fixed by https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-9480. we are currently using service mix 5.5.0 with following dependencies.
Activiti 5.17.0
Apache ActiveMQ 5.11.1
Apache Camel 2.15.2
Apache CXF 3.0.4
Apache Karaf 2.4.3 .
So in-order to get fix for CAMEL-9480, i tried to upgrade camel to 2.16.2 by doing service mix upgrade to 5.6.0 which supports following dependencies
Activiti 5.19.0.2
Apache ActiveMQ 5.12.3
Apache Camel 2.16.2
Apache CXF 3.1.4
Apache Karaf 2.4.4
after upgrade i am getting following error during deployment
[caused by: Unable to resolve 295.0: missing requirement [295.0] osgi.wiring.package; (&(osgi.wiring.package=org.eclipse.jetty.util.log)(version>=9.2.0)(!(version>=10.0.0)))]
when i checked camel-jetty-2.16.2.pom,it uses camel-jetty9 and in karaf features its mentioned as below.
<details>camel-jetty9 intend to work with jetty9, so this feature only works in the karaf container which support jetty9, e.g. karaf 4.x</details>
so is it possible to use camel-2.16.2 with karaf 2.4.4 or we need upgrade to karaf 4.x?
There are two bundles and two features:
camel-jetty which support jetty8 (and Karaf 2/3)
camel-jetty9 which support jetty9 and Karaf 4
However, It depends too on the other camel features you use. Some feature uses a feature jetty without versions, other use directly camel-jetty9 or camel-jetty, etc. Sometimes, It necessary to rewrite some feature to fix a version range, but in most case, it works out of the box.

deploying camel java-archetype projec to Fuse 6.2

I have created a java-archetype project for Camel. It is a simple REST hello world to receive a get request and return a string body. When I run this as Java application from Eclipse it works as intended.
When I take the jar and deploy it the Fuse "deploy" folder I can see in the logs that the bundle has started. The state is active and green. However the Camel tab does not appear.
The same works if I use blueprint but does not seem to do so using the java dsl. Is there an extra magic code you need to add for Fuse to pick up the camel context? Thanks
Yes for OSGi to startup you can use a spring or blueprint with a <camelContext> that starts Camel. If you use pure Java code you have to fight with OSGi and use an OSGI activator and setup all kind of OSGi stuff that gets you tiresome.
So add a blueprint xml file and add the <camelContext> and then you can refer to Java route builders, just as you can when doing spring xml: http://camel.apache.org/spring.html

Camel for Karaf 2.3.10

I have to use Apache Karaf 2.3.10 in our environment.
I need to run Apache Camel on karaf.
I am not sure what is the recommended Camel version for karaf 2.3.10.
I was referring to this link for compatibility information.
There is no straight forward answer there.
I want to use Camel 2.13 or above.
I think 2.14.0 is the best bet since, Karaf 2.3.7 is sufficient for it and I have Karaf 2.3.10 in our environment.
NB:
My post on Camel Users forum has not yielded any result so far.
Since Karaf 2.3.7 is compatible with Camel 2.14.0 so Karaf 2.3.10 is still compatible with Camel 2.14.0. The best choice is to use the newest Camel version because there is more bugfixes and more features than in the older one. So you should choose Camel 2.14.x (e.g. 2.14.3)

Apache Camel route as a Windows Service

I have a Apache Camel route that is exported as a runnable jar file from eclipse. I use a simple bat file to run this route...
C:\PROGRA~1\Java\jre6\bin\java -jar C:\dev\_exports\mdt\cpnnectors_v1.jar
How can I run this as a window service instead with the output from the console to a log file?
I think there are some general windows tools you can use to turn Java apps into services. And I vaugely recall something added to the JDK6 or 7 to support that natively. Anyway try to google a bit.
Tanuki has been around for a long time and they offer such a tool

I know it is a bit of a late answer but I have managed to deploy my Camel Routes to Apache Karaf and Karaf comes with a service wrapper for both for windows and a deamon wrapper for linux. Basically I know have my Camel routes deployed to Karaf and it is running as a service on windows with really minor hassle.
Karaf is easy to install and the help file also show you how to install the wrapper.
