Usage
Message headers evaluated by the SWF Workflow Producer
A workflow producer allows interacting with a workflow. It can start a new workflow execution, query its state, send signals to a running workflow, or terminate and cancel it.

Message headers set by the SWF Workflow Consumer
A workflow consumer represents the workflow logic. When it is started, it will start polling workflow decision tasks and process them. In addition to processing decision tasks, a workflow consumer route, will also receive signals (send from a workflow producer) or state queries. The primary purpose of a workflow consumer is to schedule activity tasks for execution using activity producers. Actually activity tasks can be scheduled only from a thread started by a workflow consumer.

Message headers set by the SWF Activity Producer
An activity producer allows scheduling activity tasks. An activity producer can be used only from a thread started by a workflow consumer ie, it can process synchronous exchanges started by a workflow consumer.

Advanced amazonSWClient configuration
If you need more control over the AmazonSimpleWorkflowClient instance configuration you can create your own instance and refer to it from the URI:
The
#client refers to a AmazonSimpleWorkflowClient 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);
AmazonSimpleWorkflowClient client = new AmazonSimpleWorkflowClient(awsCredentials, clientConfiguration);
registry.bind("client", client);Dependencies
Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their 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 (2.13 or higher).
