Filter for Camel Restlets - apache-camel

I am working on camel restlet. I have to do a kind of Authentication/Authorization before allowing the client to access the restlets. Something like check the header for a API key.
How to add a filter, just like we do for Servlet?

Have you read the reference here?
http://camel.apache.org/restlet.html
According to that, you have to define a so-called RestlesRealm.

Bridging http request with path variable in CAMEL REST

I am trying to bridge Camel REST endpoints to a backend server. Corresponding REST DSL is as follows:
from("rest:get:tt:/{id}")
.toF("%s/%s?bridgeEndpoint=true","http://192.168.1.1:80","jjjj/llll/pppp/{id}");
My expectation is that the request should be forwarded to http://192.168.1.1:80/jjjj/llll/pppp/id But what actually happens is that the request gets forwarded to http://192.168.1.1:80/jjjj/llll/pppp/%7Bid%7D/tt/id
Can any one suggest, what am I doing wrong and how I can achieve the desired behaviour? I am using Spring Boot Camel 2.3.4 which uses Camel 3.5.0 internally.
Mean while, I have found a work around that to use .to() instead of .toF(). With .to(), I achieved desired behavior. Camel route DSL is Something like
from("rest:get:tt:/{id}").to("rest:get:jjjj/llll/pppp/{id}?host=http://192.168.1.1:80")
But question still remains open that why it is not working with .toF().
Seems like you're using {id} syntax for http component uri, but I think it's only recognized by the rest component, so instead of having:
from("rest:get:tt:/{id}")
.toF("%s/%s?bridgeEndpoint=true", "http://192.168.1.1:80", "jjjj/llll/pppp/{id}");
you could try using dynamic endpoint .toD() with simple expression ${header.id}:
from("rest:get:tt:/{id}")
.toD("http://192.168.1.1:80/jjjj/llll/pppp/${header.id}?bridgeEndpoint=true");
Not exactly sure if that's what you're aiming for though

How to inject query parameters using camel REST DSL?

Actually I am playing with apache-camel 2.15.2, the REST DSL available since Camel 2.14 is not complicated. However I can't find in the official documentation how to retrieve a query parameter, basically I would like to target my REST service in this way:
http://myServer/myService/myMethod?myQueryParam=myValue
Is that possible, or is there any workaround ?
Thanks in advance.
Camel uses the REST/HTTP component of choice (restlet, jetty, servlet, netty-http, spark-rest, etc) which maps query parameters as Camel message headers.
So yes you can with the rest-dsl exposes a REST service where clients can call it with query parameters, which is then mapped to Camel message headers during routing.

authentication/http headers support in forge.file trigger.io module?

in the official trigger.io docs there seems to be no provision for custom http headers when it comes to the forge.file module. I need this so I can download files behind an http authentication scheme. This seems like an easy thing to add, if support is not already there.
any workarounds? any chance of a quick fix in the next update? I know I could use forge.request instead, but I'd like to keep a local copy (saveURL).
thanks
Unfortunately the file module just uses simple "download url" methods rather than a full HTTP request library, which makes it a fairly big task to add support for custom headers.
I've added a task to our backlog for this, but I don't have a timeframe for it being added.
Currently on iOS you can do basic auth by using urls in the form http://user:password#url.com in case that helps.
Maybe to avoid this you can configure your server differently, or have a proxy server in front that allows you to pass authentication details as get parameters?

CXF: how to access to the generated SOAP request

We have a Web Service client generated with CXF from a WSDL.
We now need to have an access to the generated SOAP requests in order to persist them.
It seems that the framework does not provide this behaviour by default.
Anyway do you guys ever tried to do such a thing?
I am thinking of building my own interceptor that can access to the fully generated message but maybe there is a better choice?
Any advice?
Thanks in advance.
By default CXF uses stax to stream your requests. If you add an interceptor, you can get access to the stax output writer and copy the events.
There is existing code in CXF to force the existence of a DOM tree; see code related to SAAJ and security.
In general, detailed CXF questions get better answers on the CXF user mailing list than here.

UTF-8 For Restful Services

Currently i enable UTF-8 as #Consumes("application/xml;charset=utf-8") in the RESTful Services for the different methods. I am interested to see if we can change this for all REST services with a single configuration change. We are using CXF, maybe there is something it provides?
Thanks

The first question is are you sure you want to prevent any of your rest resources from accepting non-UTF-8 entities? Such an across the board proclamation feels like it could cause trouble down the road.
I'll admit that I haven't used CXF so I can't speak to those specifics. But I can think of one option each under the JAX-RS and Servlet APIs which might be along the lines of what you seek to accomplish.
Using the Servlet API: Depending on how you are deploying your application you might be able to create and inject a servlet filter. In the doFilter method, you can check the encoding of the request entity and continue on to the next part of the filter chain (ultimately to the rest application). If an improper entity is sent on the request, you would just set the appropriate HTTP 415 status onto the response and not invoke your rest application.
Using JAX-RS: Depending on how you parse/accept the entity body in your resources, you could create and inject a custom MessageBodyReader implementation. This reader could parse your entity, ensuring that it is UTF-8 only and throw an appropriate exception otherwise.
