This article will help you to configure http2 protocol support for the camel-undertow component.

  • Camel's undertow component uses an embedded undertow web-container of version undertow-core:jar:1.4.21. This version also supports the http2 connection.
  • I have used the Camel version 2.21.0-SNAPSHOT from upstream: https://github.com/apache/camel.
  • Also, the version to test applications using the camel-undertow component is 7.53.1. This curl version supports tje -http2 flag for sending an http2 request.
  • I have also used to test application from a Linux terminal. However, this article is not about http2 insights.
  • For http2 details, I found articles [1] and [2] helpful.

1. The project structure is depicted below.

[csp@dhcppc1 undertow-camel-testing]$ tree
.
├── pom.xml
├── README.md
└── src
    └── main
        └── resources
            └── META-INF
                └── spring
                    └── camel-context.xml

2. In pom.xml, we would have to set up the following dependencies.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-core</artifactId>
    <version>${camel.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-spring</artifactId>
    <version>${camel.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-undertow</artifactId>
    <version>${camel.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-http-common</artifactId>
    <version>${camel.version}</version>
</dependency>

3. With the version of Camel we're using:

<properties>
    <camel.version>2.21.0-SNAPSHOT</camel.version>
</properties>

4. Now, one can use a Spring-based dsl and configure the camel-undertow component as I have below. Let's say we named this file, camel-context.xml.

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation=" http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring/camel-spring.xsd">
<camelContext id="cbr-example-context" xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring">
<route id="cbr-route" trace="true">
<from id="_from1" uri="undertow:http://localhost:7766/foo/bar"/>
<setBody id="_setBody1">
<constant&gt;Sending Response&lt;/constant>
</setBody>
<log id="_log5" message="Headers ${in.headers}"/>
<log id="_log5" message="Done processing ${body}"/>
</route>
</camelContext>
<bean class="org.apache.camel.component.undertow.UndertowComponent" id="undertow">
<property name="hostOptions" ref="undertowHostOptions"/>
</bean>
<bean
class="org.apache.camel.component.undertow.UndertowHostOptions" id="undertowHostOptions">
<property name="http2Enabled" value="true"/>
</bean>
</beans>

5. Point to the note above http2Enabled and make sure it is set to true. For the UndertowHostOptions class, by default it is set to false. This UndertowHostOptions class is then referred to UndertowComponent, which is then used in the camel route.
6. We can use camel-maven-plugin in pom.xml then we can run this using maven command: 

mvn camel:run 

<plugin>
<groupId&>org.apache.camel</groupId>
<artifactId>camel-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${camel.version}</version>
<configuration>
<fileApplicationContextUri>src/main/resources/META-INF/spring/camel-context.xml</fileApplicationContextUri>
</configuration>
</plugin>

7. Once successfully run, this should expose an HTTP service at http://localhost:7766/foo/bar.
8. We can test this using curl and nghttp commands from the Linux terminal. I used Fedora 26 where the curl command with http2 support was available. For RHEL7, I used the nghttp utility to test the http2 connection.
9. Using the curl command:

[csp@dhcppc1 undertow-camel-testing]$ curl -v --http2 http://localhost:7766/foo/bar
* Trying ::1...
* TCP_NODELAY set
* connect to ::1 port 7766 failed: Connection refused
* Trying 127.0.0.1...
* TCP_NODELAY set
* Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 7766 (#0)

Sending Response

10. Using the nghttp command:

cpandey@cpandey camel-undertow]$ nghttp -v http://localhost:7766/foo/bar
