Chapter 32. AWS SimpleDB Component
Available as of Camel version 2.9
The sdb component supports storing and retrieving data from/to Amazon’s SDB service.
Prerequisites
You must have a valid Amazon Web Services developer account, and be signed up to use Amazon SDB. More information are available at Amazon SDB.
32.1. URI Format
aws-sdb://domainName[?options]
You can append query options to the URI in the following format, ?options=value&option2=value&…
32.2. URI Options
The AWS SimpleDB component has no options.
The AWS SimpleDB endpoint is configured using URI syntax:
aws-sdb:domainName
with the following path and query parameters:
32.2.1. Path Parameters (1 parameters):

|
|
| The name of the domain currently worked with. |
|
|
| The unique key for this item |
|
|
| The maximum number of domain names you want returned. The range is 1 * to 100. |
|
|
| A string specifying where to start the next list of domain/item names. |
|
|
| To override the operation from the URI options. |
|
|
| List of attributes to put in an Item. |
|
|
| A list of items to put in a Domain. |
|
|
| The expression used to query the domain. |
|
|
| The update condition which, if specified, determines whether the specified attributes will be updated/deleted or not. |
32.3.2. Message headers set during DomainMetadata operation
| Header | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
|
| The data and time when metadata was calculated, in Epoch (UNIX) seconds. |
|
|
| The number of all items in the domain. |
|
|
| The number of unique attribute names in the domain. |
|
|
| The number of all attribute name/value pairs in the domain. |
|
|
| The total size of all unique attribute names in the domain, in bytes. |
|
|
| The total size of all attribute values in the domain, in bytes. |
|
|
| The total size of all item names in the domain, in bytes. |
32.3.3. Message headers set during GetAttributes operation
| Header | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
|
| The list of attributes returned by the operation. |
32.3.4. Message headers set during ListDomains operation
| Header | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
|
| A list of domain names that match the expression. |
|
|
| An opaque token indicating that there are more domains than the specified MaxNumberOfDomains still available. |
32.3.5. Message headers set during Select operation
| Header | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
|
| A list of items that match the select expression. |
|
|
| An opaque token indicating that more items than MaxNumberOfItems were matched, the response size exceeded 1 megabyte, or the execution time exceeded 5 seconds. |
32.3.6. Advanced AmazonSimpleDB configuration
If you need more control over the AmazonSimpleDB instance configuration you can create your own instance and refer to it from the URI:
from("direct:start")
.to("aws-sdb://domainName?amazonSDBClient=#client");
The #client refers to a AmazonSimpleDB 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);
AmazonSimpleDB client = new AmazonSimpleDBClient(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 (2.8.4 or higher).
