Spring boot security on Camel Rest DSL

Question

I am a rookie at spring boot , I just want to know that if it is possible to apply spring boot security for camel rest-dsl impls'.

Camel rest dsl is serving over its own servlet as I have seen (CamelHttpTransportServlet) but spring has its own servlet (DispatcherServlet). So ,as I have guessed ,spring security , by default , serves over DispatcherServlet based rest services.

Any way to apply this privileges over camel's own servlet with just a config or should it be checked inside a route with a bean that if it is authorized to enter or not?

I can use other security credentials like camel-security or camel's spring-security samples but my question is not that as you can see :)

thx

Answer 1

Spring Security is implemented with Filters, so yes, it is definitely possible. Spring Security doesn't really know about DispatcherServlet, it could be used for non SpringMVC applications too. There's actually a Spring Boot Camel Example here that you could easily add any security with Spring Security as far as you're using the HTTP transport. I.E. you can retrofit this old spring security camel example to Spring Boot and Spring Security using the Spring Security DSL.
