This example shows two options creating a custom Type Converter with Apache Camel application using Spring Boot.
Option 1 (Camel 2.x) - Converter added to the registry and loaded at the runtime : CustomConverterRuntimeTest and CustomRuntimeConverter.
Option 2 (Camel 3.x) - Converter source code generated during mvn package phase: CustomConverterGeneratedTest and CustomGeneratedConverter. Required Camel Maven Package Plugin and build helper plugin - see pom.xml for details.
You can run example tests using
mvn test
or in alternative, try to send own data through a rest service, performing a runtime convertion
curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: text/plain' --data-binary 'Chuck Norris 83' localhost:8080/api/convert
If you hit any problem using Camel or have some feedback, then please let us know.
We also love contributors, so get involved :-)
The Camel riders!
