Spring Integration Gateways - Null Handling & Timeouts

One of the primary advantages of using the SI gateway as an interface to message sub-systems is that it's possible to automatically adopt the benefit of rich, default and customizable, gateway configuration. One such configuration attribute deserves further scrutiny and discussion primarily because it's easy to misunderstand and misconfigure around - default-reply-timeout.

CXF JAX-RS on Apache TomEE

Yesterday I got a post comment about some problems with running CXF JAX-RS on Apache Tomcat. But also 2 weeks ago Apache TomEE 1.0 has been officially released. I decided to rework the example without using Spring (which was causing the problems with JAX-RS) and deploy it to TomEE.

Creating A Custom Camel Component

While Camel supports an ever growing number of components, you might have a need to create a custom component. This could be to either promote reuse across projects, customize an existing component or provide a simplified interface to an existing system. Whatever the reason, here is an overview of the options that are available within the Camel framework...

Why I’m Excited to Attend Camel One

I’ll be attending CamelOne this year, and I’m pretty excited. I didn’t make it to the event last year, but judging by the speaker line up and the presentations given last year, this conference is definitely a must for developers involved in enterprise integration. Check out the presentations from last year. As you can see, the content covered is applicable even if you’re not using the Apache projects. But of course if you are, all the better.

EasyNetQ, a simple .NET API for RabbitMQ

After pondering the results of our message queue shootout, we decided to run with Rabbit MQ. Rabbit ticks all of the boxes, it’s supported (by Spring Source and then VMware ultimately), scales and has the features and performance we need. The RabbitMQ.Client provided by Spring Source is a thin wrapper that quite faithfully exposes the AMQP protocol, so it expects messages as byte arrays.

Spring Integration - Input Channel Definition

In a pipes and filters architecture, pipes are connectors or channels. Although at first sight trivial, channels are fairly rich semantically - they allow typing, synchronous and asynchronous input, direct and multicast notifications, send and wait (rendezvous) as well as queued input and wrapping by adapters.
