31.3. Usage
31.3.1. Message headers evaluated by the SES producer
| Header | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
|
| The sender’s email address. |
|
|
| The destination(s) for this email. |
|
|
| The subject of the message. |
|
|
| The reply-to email address(es) for the message. |

31.3.3. Advanced AmazonSimpleEmailService configuration
If you need more control over the AmazonSimpleEmailService instance configuration you can create your own instance and refer to it from the URI:
from("direct:start")
.to("aws-ses://example@example.com?amazonSESClient=#client");
The #client refers to a AmazonSimpleEmailService in the Registry.
For example if your Camel Application is running behind a firewall:
AWSCredentials awsCredentials = new BasicAWSCredentials("myAccessKey", "mySecretKey");
ClientConfiguration clientConfiguration = new ClientConfiguration();
clientConfiguration.setProxyHost("http://myProxyHost");
clientConfiguration.setProxyPort(8080);
AmazonSimpleEmailService client = new AmazonSimpleEmailServiceClient(awsCredentials, clientConfiguration);
registry.bind("client", client);31.4. Dependencies
Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml.
pom.xml
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
<artifactId>camel-aws</artifactId>
<version>${camel-version}</version>
</dependency>
where ${camel-version} must be replaced by the actual version of Camel (2.8.4 or higher).
