Chapter 6. APNS

Apns Component

Available as of Camel 2.8

The apns component is used for sending notifications to iOS devices. The apns components use javapns library. The component supports sending notifications to Apple Push Notification Servers (APNS) and consuming feedback from the servers.

The consumer is configured with a default polling time of 3600 seconds. It is advisable to consume the feedback stream from Apple Push Notification Servers regularly at larger intervals to avoid flooding the servers.

The feedback stream gives information about inactive devices. This information can be consumed infrequently (every two or three hours) if your mobile application is not heavily used.

To configure an apns component to use Transport Layer Security (TLS), see chapter "Configuring Transport Security for Camel Components" in "Security Guide".

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml for this component:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-apns</artifactId>
    <version>x.x.x</version>
    <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>

URI format

To send notifications:

apns:notify[?options]

To consume feedback:

apns:consumer[?options]

Options

Producer

Property	Default	Description
`tokens`		Empty by default. Configure this property in case you want to statically declare tokens related to devices you want to notify. Tokens are separated by comma.

Consumer

Property	Default	Description
`delay`	`3600`	Delay in seconds between each poll.
`initialDelay`	`10`	Seconds before polling starts.
`timeUnit`	`SECONDS`	Time Unit for polling.
`userFixedDelay`	`true`	If `true`, use fixed delay between pools, otherwise fixed rate is used. See ScheduledExecutorService in JDK for details.

You can append query options to the URI in the following format, ?option=value&option=value&...

Component

The ApnsComponent must be configured with a com.notnoop.apns.ApnsService. The service can be created and configured using the org.apache.camel.component.apns.factory.ApnsServiceFactory. See further below for an example. For further information, see the test source code.

Exchange data format

When Camel fetches feedback data corresponding to inactive devices, it retrieves a List of InactiveDevice objects. Each InactiveDevice object on the retrieved list will be set as the In body, and then processed by the consumer endpoint.

Message Headers

Camel Apns uses these headers.

Property	Default	Description
`CamelApnsTokens`		Empty by default.
`CamelApnsMessageType`	`STRING, PAYLOAD, APNS_NOTIFICATION`	If you choose PAYLOAD as the message type, the message will be considered an APNS payload and sent as is. If you choose STRING, the message will be converted to an APNS payload. APNS_NOTIFICATION is used for sending message body as `com.notnoop.apns.ApnsNotification` types.

ApnsServiceFactory Builder Callback

ApnsServiceFactory comes with an empty callback method that can be used to configure or replace the default ApnsServiceBuilder instance. The method has the following format:

protected ApnsServiceBuilder configureServiceBuilder(ApnsServiceBuilder serviceBuilder);

It is used in the following way:

ApnsServiceFactory proxiedApnsServiceFactory = new ApnsServiceFactory(){

  @Override
  protected ApnsServiceBuilder configureServiceBuilder(ApnsServiceBuilder serviceBuilder) {
    return serviceBuilder.withSocksProxy("my.proxy.com", 6666);
  }

};
