While the awesome Apache Camel team is busy fixing the handling of the multiple parameters in the query, here’s a workaround. Hopefully, this post will become obsolete with the next versions of Camel. (Currently, I use 2.7.5)
Problem
Query parameters more than 1 is passed as a null value into a Camel-CXF service. Say, if the URL has four query parameters as in
name=arun&email=arun@arunma.com&age=10&phone=123456
only the first one gets populated when you do a:
MultiQueryParams
@GET
@Path("search")
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public String sourceResultsFromTwoSources(@QueryParam("name") String name, @QueryParam("age") String age,
@QueryParam("phone") String phone,@QueryParam("email") String email
);All other parameters are null.
Final Output
For url: http://localhost:8181/cxf/karafcxfcamel/search?name=arun&email=arun@arunma.com&age=31&phone=232323 the result expected is :
Workaround
Interestingly, we could get the entire query string in the header.
QueryStringHeader
String queryString = exchange.getIn().getHeader(Exchange.HTTP_QUERY, String.class);
We could then do a
ExtractingParams
MultivaluedMap<String, String> queryMap = JAXRSUtils.getStructuredParams(queryString, "&", false, false);
to get the query parameters as a multi valued Map.
The query parameters could then be set as a property to the Exchange and used across the exchange.
Code
- The entire code could be downloaded from github
Please note that I am running Camel as part of OSGi inside the Karaf container. While the workaround does not differ because of the environment in which you are using Camel-CXF, please be wary of this fact when you download the code from github. Watch out for the blueprint xmls for Camel configuration.
