== Camel Example Spring Boot

This example shows how to work with a simple Apache Camel application using Spring Boot.

The example generates messages using timer trigger, writes them to standard output.

=== Camel routes

The Camel route is located in the `MyCamelRouter` class. In this class the route
starts from a timer, that triggers every 2nd second and calls a Spring Bean `MyBean`
which returns a message, that is routed to a stream endpoint which writes to standard output.

=== Using Camel components

Apache Camel provides 200+ components which you can use to integrate and route messages between many systems
and data formats. To use any of these Camel components, add the component as a dependency to your project.

=== How to run

You can run this example using

    mvn spring-boot:run

=== To get health check

To show a summary of spring boot health check

----
curl -XGET -s http://localhost:8080/actuator/health
----

And you can see some info details as well

----
curl -XGET -s http://localhost:8080/actuator/info
----

See the `application.properties` to control what information to present in actuator.

=== Camel Developer Console

This application includes `camel-console-starter` which is a basic developer console
that is accessible as a Spring Boot actuator endpoint via:

----
curl -XGET -s http://localhost:8080/actuator/camel
----

For example to get route information:

----
curl -XGET -s http://localhost:8080/actuator/camel/routes
----

=== Camel CLI

This application is integrated with the Camel CLI via the `camel-cli-connector-starter` dependency (see `pom.xml`).
This allows to use the Camel CLI to manage this application, such as:

    $mvn spring-boot:run

And then use the CLI to see status:

    $camel get
      PID   NAME                          CAMEL   PLATFORM            READY  STATUS   AGE  TOTAL  FAILED  INFLIGHT  SINCE-LAST
