32.3.3. Advanced AmazonSNS configuration
If you need more control over the AmazonSNS instance configuration you can create your own instance and refer to it from the URI:
from("direct:start")
.to("aws-sns://MyTopic?amazonSNSClient=#client");
The #client refers to a AmazonSNS 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);
AmazonSNS client = new AmazonSNSClient(awsCredentials, clientConfiguration);
registry.bind("client", client);32.4. 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 or higher).
