Chapter 331. Stream Component
Available as of Camel version 1.3
The stream: component provides access to the System.in
, System.out
and System.err
streams as well as allowing streaming of file and URL.
Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml
for this component:
<dependency> <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId> <artifactId>camel-stream</artifactId> <version>x.x.x</version> <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version --> </dependency>
331.1. URI format
stream:in[?options] stream:out[?options] stream:err[?options] stream:header[?options]
In addition, the file
and url
endpoint URIs are supported:
stream:file?fileName=/foo/bar.txt stream:url[?options]
If the stream:header
URI is specified, the stream
header is used to find the stream to write to. This option is available only for stream producers (that is, it cannot appear in from()
).
You can append query options to the URI in the following format, ?option=value&option=value&…
331.2. Options
The Stream component has no options.
The Stream endpoint is configured using URI syntax:
stream:kind
with the following path and query parameters:
331.2.1. Path Parameters (1 parameters):
Name | Description | Default | Type |
---|---|---|---|
kind | Required Kind of stream to use such as System.in or System.out. | String |
331.2.2. Query Parameters (22 parameters):
Name | Description | Default | Type |
---|---|---|---|
encoding (common) | You can configure the encoding (is a charset name) to use text-based streams (for example, message body is a String object). If not provided, Camel uses the JVM default Charset. | String | |
fileName (common) | When using the stream:file URI format, this option specifies the filename to stream to/from. | String | |
url (common) | When using the stream:url URI format, this option specifies the URL to stream to/from. The input/output stream will be opened using the JDK URLConnection facility. | String | |
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 |
fileWatcher (consumer) | To use JVM file watcher to listen for file change events to support re-loading files that may be overwritten, somewhat like tail --retry | false | boolean |
groupLines (consumer) | To group X number of lines in the consumer. For example to group 10 lines and therefore only spit out an Exchange with 10 lines, instead of 1 Exchange per line. | int | |
groupStrategy (consumer) | Allows to use a custom GroupStrategy to control how to group lines. | GroupStrategy | |
initialPromptDelay (consumer) | Initial delay in milliseconds before showing the message prompt. This delay occurs only once. Can be used during system startup to avoid message prompts being written while other logging is done to the system out. | 2000 | long |
promptDelay (consumer) | Optional delay in milliseconds before showing the message prompt. | long | |
promptMessage (consumer) | Message prompt to use when reading from stream:in; for example, you could set this to Enter a command: | String | |
retry (consumer) | Will retry opening the stream if it’s overwritten, somewhat like tail --retry If reading from files then you should also enable the fileWatcher option, to make it work reliable. | false | boolean |
scanStream (consumer) | To be used for continuously reading a stream such as the unix tail command. | false | boolean |
scanStreamDelay (consumer) | Delay in milliseconds between read attempts when using scanStream. | long | |
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 | |
autoCloseCount (producer) | Number of messages to process before closing stream on Producer side. Never close stream by default (only when Producer is stopped). If more messages are sent, the stream is reopened for another autoCloseCount batch. | int | |
closeOnDone (producer) | This option is used in combination with Splitter and streaming to the same file. The idea is to keep the stream open and only close when the Splitter is done, to improve performance. Mind this requires that you only stream to the same file, and not 2 or more files. | false | boolean |
delay (producer) | Initial delay in milliseconds before producing the stream. | long | |
connectTimeout (advanced) | Sets a specified timeout value, in milliseconds, to be used when opening a communications link to the resource referenced by this URLConnection. If the timeout expires before the connection can be established, a java.net.SocketTimeoutException is raised. A timeout of zero is interpreted as an infinite timeout. | int | |
httpHeaders (advanced) | Optional http headers to use in request when using HTTP URL. | Map | |
readTimeout (advanced) | Sets the read timeout to a specified timeout, in milliseconds. A non-zero value specifies the timeout when reading from Input stream when a connection is established to a resource. If the timeout expires before there is data available for read, a java.net.SocketTimeoutException is raised. A timeout of zero is interpreted as an infinite timeout. | int | |
synchronous (advanced) | Sets whether synchronous processing should be strictly used, or Camel is allowed to use asynchronous processing (if supported). | false | boolean |
331.3. Spring Boot Auto-Configuration
The component supports 2 options, which are listed below.
Name | Description | Default | Type |
---|---|---|---|
camel.component.stream.enabled | Enable stream component | true | Boolean |
camel.component.stream.resolve-property-placeholders | Whether the component should resolve property placeholders on itself when starting. Only properties which are of String type can use property placeholders. | true | Boolean |
331.4. Message content
The stream: component supports either String
or byte[]
for writing to streams. Just add either String
or byte[]
content to the message.in.body
. Messages sent to the stream: producer in binary mode are not followed by the newline character (as opposed to the String
messages). Message with null
body will not be appended to the output stream.
The special stream:header
URI is used for custom output streams. Just add a java.io.OutputStream
object to message.in.header
in the key header
.
See samples for an example.
331.5. Samples
In the following sample we route messages from the direct:in
endpoint to the System.out
stream:
// Route messages to the standard output. from("direct:in").to("stream:out"); // Send String payload to the standard output. // Message will be followed by the newline. template.sendBody("direct:in", "Hello Text World"); // Send byte[] payload to the standard output. // No newline will be added after the message. template.sendBody("direct:in", "Hello Bytes World".getBytes());
The following sample demonstrates how the header type can be used to determine which stream to use. In the sample we use our own output stream, MyOutputStream
.
The following sample demonstrates how to continuously read a file stream (analogous to the UNIX tail
command):
from("stream:file?fileName=/server/logs/server.log&scanStream=true&scanStreamDelay=1000") .to("bean:logService?method=parseLogLine");
One gotcha with scanStream (pre Camel 2.7) or scanStream + retry is the file will be re-opened and scanned with each iteration of scanStreamDelay. Until NIO2 is available we cannot reliably detect when a file is deleted/recreated.
If you want to re-load the file if it rollover/rewritten then you should also turn on the fileWatcher
and retry
options.
from("stream:file?fileName=/server/logs/server.log&scanStream=true&scanStreamDelay=1000&retry=true&fileWatcher=true") .to("bean:logService?method=parseLogLine");
