So, how does an API Gateway cater for HATEOAS? A key requirement is not to break it. As in medicine, "first do no harm". Consider what an API Gateway does: It provides external-facing APIs to the public, then translates them to back-end (usually on-premise) API calls.

It's pretty straight forward to take a message, use an SI header enricher construct and place the message in the header using a SpEL expression - in fact one for the header key name and one for the payload extraction. The following SI flow demonstrates an example of how to do just that.

When we try to think about service consumers, the obvious candidates are, of course, other services. Nevertheless there are other software components that interact with services e.g. legacy systems, Non-SOA external systems or reporting databases. The Composite Frontend pattern deals with yet another type of service consumer – the User interface.

When creating webservices a lot of people have objections against using JAXB for binding XML to objects. This may be because of performance reasons, allergy to generated code or simply a philosophical belief that you should not mix document centric services with an object oriented model.

In my current project I'm using Apache Camel for the integration, and I bumped into a significant oops moment while using the camel-servlet component. I found that while I had multiple applications (WAR's) deployed I often started the wrong routes, even though I was hitting the correct endpoint url

While trying to figure out how to use a push vs. polling model for timed notifications I discovered a clever hack using temporary queues, x-message-ttl and dead letter exchanges.
