Chapter 69. Consul Component
Available as of Camel version 2.18
The Consul component is a component for integrating your application with Consul.
Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml for this component:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
<artifactId>camel-consul</artifactId>
<version>${camel-version}</version>
</dependency>69.1. URI format
consul://domain?[options]
You can append query options to the URI in the following format:
?option=value&option=value&...
69.2. Options
The Consul component supports 9 options, which are listed below.
| Name | Description | Default | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| url (common) | The Consul agent URL | String | |
| datacenter (common) | The data center | String | |
| sslContextParameters (common) | SSL configuration using an org.apache.camel.util.jsse.SSLContextParameters instance. | SSLContextParameters | |
| useGlobalSslContext Parameters (security) | Enable usage of global SSL context parameters. | false | boolean |
| aclToken (common) | Sets the ACL token to be used with Consul | String | |
| userName (common) | Sets the username to be used for basic authentication | String | |
| password (common) | Sets the password to be used for basic authentication | String | |
| configuration (advanced) | Sets the common configuration shared among endpoints | ConsulConfiguration | |
| resolveProperty Placeholders (advanced) | Whether the component should resolve property placeholders on itself when starting. Only properties which are of String type can use property placeholders. | true | boolean |
The Consul endpoint is configured using URI syntax:
consul:apiEndpoint
with the following path and query parameters:
69.2.1. Path Parameters (1 parameters):
| Name | Description | Default | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| apiEndpoint | Required The API endpoint | String |
69.2.2. Query Parameters (4 parameters):
| Name | Description | Default | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| bridgeErrorHandler (consumer) | Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions occurred while the consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. By default the consumer will use the org.apache.camel.spi.ExceptionHandler to deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored. | false | boolean |
| exceptionHandler (consumer) | To let the consumer use a custom ExceptionHandler. Notice if the option bridgeErrorHandler is enabled then this option is not in use. By default the consumer will deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored. | ExceptionHandler | |
| exchangePattern (consumer) | Sets the exchange pattern when the consumer creates an exchange. | ExchangePattern | |
| synchronous (advanced) | Sets whether synchronous processing should be strictly used, or Camel is allowed to use asynchronous processing (if supported). | false | boolean |
69.3. Spring Boot Auto-Configuration
