Spring Boot, Camel and ActiveMQ QuickStart

This quickstart shows how to connect a Spring-Boot application to an A-MQ xPaaS message broker and use JMS messaging between two Camel routes using OpenShift.

Building

The example can be built with

mvn clean install

Running the example in OpenShift

It is assumed that:

• OpenShift platform is already running, if not you can find details how to Install OpenShift at your site.
• Your system is configured for Fabric8 Maven Workflow, if not you can find a Get Started Guide
• The Red Hat JBoss A-MQ xPaaS product should already be installed and running on your OpenShift installation, one simple way to run a A-MQ service is following the documentation of the A-MQ xPaaS image for OpenShift related to the amq63-basic template.

Then the following command will package your app and run it on OpenShift:

mvn fabric8:deploy

To list all the running pods:

oc get pods

Then find the name of the pod that runs this quickstart, and output the logs from the running pods with:

oc logs <name of pod>

You can also use the openshift web console to manage the running pods, and view logs and much more.

Running via an S2I Application Template

Application templates allow you deploy applications to OpenShift by filling out a form in the OpenShift console that allows you to adjust deployment parameters. This template uses an S2I source build so that it handle building and deploying the application for you.

First, import the Fuse image streams:

oc create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jboss-fuse/application-templates/GA/fis-image-streams.json

Then create the quickstart template:

oc create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jboss-fuse/application-templates/GA/quickstarts/spring-boot-camel-amq-template.json

Now when you use "Add to Project" button in the OpenShift console, you should see a template for this quickstart.

Integration Testing

The example includes a Arquillian Cube Openshift OpenShift Integration Test. Once the container image has been built and deployed in OpenShift, the integration test can be run with:

mvn test -Dtest=*KT

The test is disabled by default and has to be enabled using -Dtest. Open Source Community documentation at Arquillian Cube provide more information on writing full fledged black box integration tests for OpenShift.
