10.3. AWS-DDB

DDB Component

Available as of Camel 2.10

The DynamoDB component supports storing and retrieving data from/to Amazon's DynamoDB service.

Prerequisites

You must have a valid Amazon Web Services developer account, and be signed up to use Amazon DynamoDB. More information are available at Amazon DynamoDB.

Advanced AmazonDynamoDB configuration

If you need more control over the AmazonDynamoDB instance configuration you can create your own instance and refer to it from the URI:

from("direct:start")
.to("aws-ddb://domainName?amazonDDBClient=#client");

The #client refers to a AmazonDynamoDB 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);

AmazonDynamoDB client = new AmazonDynamoDBClient(awsCredentials, clientConfiguration);

registry.bind("client", client);

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 (2.10 or higher).
