Camel makes use of "components" to integrate various services using a terse, domain specific language (DSL) that can be expressed in JAVA, XML, Scala or Groovy. There exists one such component designed to work specifically with a Fedora4 repository. This makes it possible to model Solr indexing in only a few lines of code like so:

Code Block

titleCamel Route using the JAVA DSL
linenumberstrue
XPathBuilder xpath = new XPathBuilder("/rdf:RDF/rdf:Description/rdf:type[@rdf:resource='http://fedora.info/definitions/v4/rest-api#indexableindexing#indexable']")
xpath.namespace("rdf", "http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#")

from("activemq:topic:fedora")
  .to("fcrepo:localhost:8080/fedora/rest")
  .filter(xpath)
  .to("fcrepo:localhost:8080/fedora/rest?accept=application/json&transform=default")
  .to("http4:localhost:8080/solr/core/update");

If an fcr:transform program has been installed as mytransform, you can generate a JSON representation of an object container and send it to a low-latency, highly available document store, such as Riak. The following route determines if an object a container has been removed or simply added/updated. It then routes the message appropriately to a load-balancer sitting in front of the Riak HTTP endpoint.

The default configuration is fine for locally-deployed listeners, but it can be problematic in a distributed context. For instance, if the listener is restarted while a message is sent to the topic, that message may be missed. Furthermore, if there is a networking hiccup between fedoraFedora's local broker and the remote listener, that too can result in lost messages. Instead, in this case, a queue may be better suited.
