Using Camel with tomcat, cxf and jax-ws/rs

Question

I think I need something like this: http://camel.apache.org/cxf-tomcat-example.html

I have a webservice class with jax-ws annotations and I'd like to use this class to process the request and produce the response instead of a custom processor. Something like this: from(cxf ws endpoit).to(my webservice implementation)

Is this possible? Can I route my messages to the correct java method? This is exactly the same that I can do with cxf and jax-ws, but I'd like to use camel as well. I'd like to use code-first approach (generated WSDL).

Can I route my messages to the correct java method?

If you mean the specific method of the bean you have manually created, then yes.

For e.g.:

Create custom bean:

public class CustomProcessor {

    public void processSomething(Exchange exchange) {
        Something smth = exchange.getIn().getBody(Something.class); //Your message's body              
    }

}

Using Spring create a camel configuration something like this:

<bean id="processor" class="your.custom.CustomProcessor"/>

<camel:camelContext trace="true" id="camelContext" >

    <camel:route id="camelRoute">
        <camel:from uri="cxf:bean:yourWebServiceListenerEndpoint?dataFormat=POJO&amp;synchronous=true" />
        <camel:choice>
            <camel:when>
                <camel:simple>${headers.operationName} == 'DoSomething'</camel:simple>
                <camel:bean ref="processor" method="processSomething"/>
            </camel:when>
        </camel:choice>
        <camel:to uri="cxf:bean:yourWebServiceTargetEndpoint"/>
    </camel:route>

</camel:camelContext>

Depending on the operation name camel will route the message to the corresponding processor. You can route your message in Camel in anyway you like. You just have to think of how. From your question this is as much as I can give. If you would update it to be more specific maybe I could offer some more help.
