org.apache.camel.NoTypeConversionAvailableExceptio

Question

I have multipart file in the first place and I want to send it to camel pipeline and save this file with original name.

my code:

@Autowired
ProducerTemplate producerTemplate;
...
      producerTemplate.sendBody("seda:rest_upload", multipartFile);

on another side I have:

from("seda:rest_upload").convertBodyTo(File.class).to("file://rest_files");

And also I try to register converter:

@Converter
public class MultiPartFileToFileConvertor {
    @Converter
    public static File toFile(MultipartFile multipartFile) throws IOException {
        File convFile = new File(multipartFile.getOriginalFilename());
        multipartFile.transferTo(convFile);
        return convFile;
    }
}

When I execute my code I see following stacktrace:

How to fix this ?

Answer 1

An example of a type converter using SpringBoot which will be automatically picked up using Camel 2.23.0 or later.

@Component
public class MyPackageTypeConverter implements TypeConverters {

  private final ObjectMapper mapper;

  @Autowired
  public MyPackageTypeConverter(ObjectMapper mapper) {
    this.mapper = mapper;
  }

  @Converter
  public byte[] myPackageToByteArray(MyPackage source) {
    try {
      return mapper.writeValueAsBytes(source);
    } catch (JsonProcessingException e) {
      throw new RuntimeException(e);
    }
  }

  @Converter
  public MyPackage byteArrayToMyPackage(byte[] source) {
    try {
      return mapper.readValue(source, MyPackage.class);
    } catch (IOException e) {
      throw new RuntimeException(e);
    }
  }

}

Answer 2

You have to add the service discovery file named TypeConverter in the META-INF directory.

src\main\resources\META-INF\services\org\apache\camel\TypeConverter 

This file contains the fully qualified name of the @Converter class.

e.g

mypackage.MultiPartFileToFileConvertor 

Also see the example from Camel in action 2 in Github https://github.com/camelinaction/camelinaction2/tree/b6a43abf9e0d4ec4e3753ebd735bb3448f98194b/chapter3/converter .

Also the book Chapter 3.6 explains how the discovery and loading of custom converters work in full detail.
