How to write a connector?

[stephanrauh]

I'd like to use the JBoss Fuse ESB. The major part of our application connects to Fuse via Webservices (i.e. SOAP). However, we have a few devices speaking a different protocol (Modbus/TCP). I haven't found a third-party adapter. So I'd like to write it myself.

Where can I find the documentation about writing connectors? Is there an example source code?

Thanks in advance Stephan

Hello,

a ControlBus component is available in Camel: http://camel.apache.org/controlbus.html

Someone developed Jamod components: https://github.com/sworisbreathing/camel-jamod

If you want to write your own camel connector, please have a look to Camel documentation: http://camel.apache.org/writing-components.html

You can also have a look to Forge command:

• install fuse-forge addon if not yet available:
  1. Use 'command-list' in forge console to ensure you see api-component-* commands for working with an API Component project
  2. Use 'project-new' to create an empty project to start
  3. Use 'api-component-setup' to add camel config and starting point code
  4. Use 'api-component-add-api' to add an API to the project
  5. Use the rest of the 'api-component-*' commands to add other bits needed in the API component project
