org.apache.camel.ExchangeTimedOutException: The OUT message was not received within: 30000 millis

Question

I'm trying to expose a web service using fuse esb + apache camel + seda/activemq and I'm facing to an issue returing a status message to the web service call.

here is my simple camel route :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:cxf="http://camel.apache.org/schema/cxf"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
    http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring/camel-spring.xsd
    http://camel.apache.org/schema/cxf http://camel.apache.org/schema/cxf/camel-cxf.xsd">

    <cxf:cxfEndpoint id="msgInEndpoint" address="http://localhost:9000/msgin/"
        serviceClass="com.test.jaxws.MsgInEndpoint">
    </cxf:cxfEndpoint>

    <camelContext xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring">
        <route id="control">
            <from uri="cxf:bean:msgInEndpoint" />
            <to uri="log:incomingMsgIn" />
            <to uri="seda:OpCon.MSGIN" />
            <transform>
                <constant>OK</constant>
            </transform>
        </route>
    </camelContext>
</beans>

When I do a web service request using soapUI, in going to a timeout issue :

Exhausted after delivery attempt: 1 caught: org.apache.camel.ExchangeTimedOutException: The OUT message was not received within: 30000 millis. 

The stacktrace cause :

Caused by: org.apache.camel.ExchangeTimedOutException: The OUT message was not received within: 30000 millis. Exchange[Message: $CONSOLE:DISPLAY,test]

I have the same result using seda or activemq as consumer, but it works fine with file consumer.

I'm on apache-servicemix-4.4.1-fuse-02-05 version.

Any idea of what I'm doing wrong? Thanks for your help

Answer 1

When you send the message to the seda endpoint using

<to uri="seda:OpCon.MSGIN" />

And the message originates from a web service, then the message is using InOut as the Message Exchange Patterh (e.g. request/reply), which means Camel is expecting a "reply" from the seda queue, in the sense it will wait for the message to be processed. But as the message is not processed, then a timeout of 30 sec is triggered, and why you see that exception. See the timeout options at: http://camel.apache.org/seda

Instead it looks like you want to send back asap an OK message to the web service, while sending a message to a queue for asynchronous further processing. There is an EIP for that, and its the WireTap EIP. So use that instead: https://camel.apache.org/components/3.4.x/eips/wireTap-eip.html

<wireTap uri="seda:OpCon.MSGIN" />

Answer 2

To fix the issue you can increase the timeout value or you can just disable timeout by using 0 or a negative value.

How to disable the timeout?

Ans: "seda:someName?timeout=0"

After setting timeout=0, you will not face timeout error.
