Camel CXF Service With Multiple Query Parameters
Join the DZone community and get the full member experience.
Join For FreeWhile the awesome Apache Camel team is busy fixing the handling of the multiple parameters in the query, here’s a workaround. Hopefully, this post will become obsolete with the next versions of Camel. (Currently, I use 2.7.5)
Problem
Query parameters more than 1 is passed as a null value into a Camel-CXF service. Say, if the URL has four query parameters as in
name=arun&[email protected]&age=10&phone=123456
only the first one gets populated when you do a
Multi Query Params
@GET
@Path("search")
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public String sourceResultsFromTwoSources(@QueryParam("name") String name, @QueryParam("age") String age,
@QueryParam("phone") String phone,@QueryParam("email") String email
);
All other parameters are null.
Final Output
For url
http://localhost:8181/cxf/karafcxfcamel/search?name=arun&[email protected]&age=31&phone=232323
the result expected is :
Workaround
Interestingly, we could get the entire query string in the header.
1.String queryString = exchange.getIn().getHeader(Exchange.HTTP_QUERY, String.class);
We could then do a
MultivaluedMap<String, String> queryMap = JAXRSUtils.getStructuredParams(queryString, "&", false, false);
to get the query parameters as a multi valued Map.
The query parameters could then be set as a property to the Exchange and used across the exchange.
Code
The entire code could be downloaded from github
Please note that I am running Camel as part of OSGi inside the Karaf container. While the workaround does not differ because of the environment in which you are using Camel-CXF, please be wary of this fact when you download the code from github. Watch out for the blueprint xmls for Camel configuration.
The most important piece here is the Router
