Apache Camel: RouteBuilder with CxfEndpoint

Question

Hello!

I'm trying to implement a Camel route with Java DSL and RouteBuilder. I want to send from a timer endpoint to a cxf endpoint.

Code:

public class MyRoute extends RouteBuilder {

    @Override
    public void configure() {
        
        CamelContext camelContext = getContext();
    
        CxfEndpoint cxfEndpoint = new CxfEndpoint();
        cxfEndpoint.setAddress("http://localhost:8088/interface");
        cxfEndpoint.setWsdlURL("wsdl/contract.wsdl");
        cxfEndpoint.setCamelContext(camelContext);
        cxfEndpoint.setDataFormat(DataFormat.PAYLOAD);

        try {
            camelContext.addEndpoint("myEndpoint", cxfEndpoint);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }


        from("timer://my-timer?fixedRate=true&period=500")
                .transform(constant("DummyBody"))
                .to("cxf://myEndpoint");        
    }

}

This route gets inserted into a camel context defined using Spring XML (where I have some other routes).

Problem:

I'm getting the following error:

karaf@root> Exception in thread "SpringOsgiExtenderThread-78" org.apache.camel.FailedToCreateProducerException: Failed to create Producer fo

        at org.apache.camel.util.ServiceHelper.startService(ServiceHelper.java:62)
        ....

Now the error is pretty straight forward, but here says:

This option is only required by POJO mode. If the wsdlURL option is provided, serviceClass is not required for PAYLOAD and MESSAGE mode.

Questions:

If I'm using PAYLOAD mode, why I still need a service class? Am I missing something when creating the cxf endpoint?

Thanks!

You already setup a CxfEndpoint to use, so your route should be just like this

from("timer://my-timer?fixedRate=true&period=500")
                .transform(constant("DummyBody"))
                .to(myEndpoint);
