sending a response to client from camel cxf component - apache-camel

Question

I am new to camel, i am trying to use camel cxf component to create a soap webservice. I started with a samples from camel in action. I have configured a route using cxf component and added a processor to process the request. I received the request in the bean i used to process the service but i cant able to send the response back to the client. Thanks in advance
This is the route i used :
<route>
<from uri="cxf:bean:orderEndpoint" />
<setExchangePattern pattern="InOut"/>
<to uri="bean:productService" />
</route>
This is the cxf endpoint i have configured,
<cxf:cxfEndpoint id="orderEndpoint"
address="/"
serviceClass="camelws.ws.ProductService"/>
This is the bean i used:
#Service("productService")
public class ProductServiceImpl {
public Product getProducts(){
System.out.println("Inside webservices method....");
Product product = new Product();
product.setName("test product");
product.setPrice("3242");
return product;
}
}
Sysout statement is printed on the console but i am getting a soap response with empty body.
below is my response when i hit http://localhost:9080// from browser:
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body/>
</soap:Envelope>

Answer 1

You should implement a Processor, intercept and process your message using something like that :
public class MyProcessor implements Processor {
public void process(Exchange exchange) throws Exception {
...
// Set your response here
exchange.getOut().setBody(product);
}
}
Then reference your processor in your route.

Answer 2

Your response is what you have in your route body after your rote ends, so you must create your massege response object before route ends.
