problems with mina / netty tcp endpoint in camel (tcp socket server endpoint)

i want to connect a soap webservice to a tcp enpoint. The tcp endpoint has to be a tcp socket server that accepts clients.

now i have for example this route

<from uri="cxf:bean:myendpoint" />

<to uri="netty:tcp://localhost:port" />

this doesnt work because what i have found out

<from uri="netty:tcp://localhost:port" /> this configures it as server socket where clients can connect

<to uri="netty:tcp://localhost:port" /> this configures it as client that can connect to a server socket

is there any way to configure netty/mina etc as a server socket and not a client with the <to /> tag?

or might anyone have an idea for a workaround for this?

someone else already had a similar problem according to this https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-1077 "tcp client mode / server mode determined by "to" or "from" elements limits usability." But i dont think anything has happened since then.

It looks like you just want to send the response from the soap service to tcp server. You can setup the route like this

from("direct:start").to("cxf:xxx").to("netty:xxx");
