Return contents of a file in a route
I want to be able to simulate a system that I'm integrating with. I'd like
a route to return the contents of a file in a REST DSL route. Is it
possible to do this in Camel? This is what I'd like to do:
restConfiguration()
.component("jetty")
.host("localhost")
.port(1234)
.bindingMode(RestBindingMode.off);
rest().path("/mystuff")
.get("/testing").bindingMode(RestBindingMode.json)
.route()
.setHeader(Exchange.CONTENT_TYPE).constant("application/json")
<!-- set body to contents of file -->
??? .from("file:myfile.json"); ???
I tried adding the "from("file:myfile.json")" to my route, but the results
do not come back.

.convertBodyTo(String.class)
I'm not sure if that will trigger the read of the file by itself as I
usually don't process them this way but see if putting that after the
from() causes it to load and then also log it. The logger may be smart
enough when it sees the body is a file to load it but I don't know that
without looking at the code.

but then why would .log("${body}") print out the contents of the file?

That makes some sense as I believe what you're getting there is the handle
to the GenericFile object and not the contents itself. You probably have to
put a transform/simple to get the contents but I don't recall off the top
of my head.

Re: Return contents of a file in a route

Actually, it is working when I use .log("${body}"). It prints out the
contents of the file.
When I was calling .to("log:FILE") it was not printing the file contents,
but I think I was reading the log statement incorrectly.
What is strange is that the test app that makes the HTTP GET command only
gets back absolute filename in the response body.

Are you getting any errors? How are you testing it?
The reason I ask is are you sure that it is finding the file at that
location? Are you doing this as a test stub to deploy for others to use or
is this something you want to test during unit tests only? You can use
mocks or other mechanism for that. If you put some .log("${body}") before
and after that .from what do you see?
