Description
Related to CAMEL-10026 about Health Check API
We need some way for Camel components to be able to more easily validate if they can connect to their remote system.
And for that the user must configure the Camel component/endpoint accordingly with details such as username/password/tokens/ other beans etc.
How this is done varies from Camel component to component, but most of them uses endpoint options.
So we may want to introduce some interface (whether the name Pingable is a good name is up for discussion)
interface Pingable { PingResult ping(Map<String, String> config); boolean canPing(Map<String, String> config); } class PingResult { private boolean isSuccess(); private String errorMessage(); }
This API is just a little suggestion.
The parameters should ideally be type less, eg Map<String, String> as the user configures this in endpoint uris, XML DSL etc. and therefore we should be able to do this without having to use Java code per see.
Also we may want to have canPing as a method to check if the component can accept the ping or not. In some cases it may not be able to do the ping.
For example camel-http component would just require the following information in the Map<String, String>
httpUri=http://myserver/foo/bar
Where httpUri is the name of the option accordingly to the table at
https://github.com/apache/camel/blob/master/components/camel-http/src/main/docs/http-component.adoc
And then it depends on each Camel component how they do the ping check, the http component may do a HTTP HEAD or a HTTP GET etc and check the HTTP response code etc.
Notice this is not intended entirely for runtime health check, but for validating/testing Camel components can work with the user given configuration to connect to the remote system.
