Red Hat build of Apache Camel for Spring Boot Reference


Red Hat build of Apache Camel 4.8

Red Hat build of Apache Camel for Spring Boot Reference

Red Hat build of Apache Camel Documentation Team Red Hat build of Apache Camel Support Team http://access.redhat.com/support

Abstract

This guide describes the settings for Red Hat build of Apache Camel components.

Preface

Making open source more inclusive

Red Hat is committed to replacing problematic language in our code, documentation, and web properties. We are beginning with these four terms: master, slave, blacklist, and whitelist. Because of the enormity of this endeavor, these changes will be implemented gradually over several upcoming releases.

Chapter 1. Component Starters

Camel Spring Boot supports the following Camel artifacts as Spring Boot Starters:

Note

The BOM for Red Hat build of Apache Camel for Camel Spring Boot lists both supported and unsupported components. See Component Starters for the latest list of supported components.

Chapter 2. AMQP

Since Camel 1.2

Both producer and consumer are supported

The AMQP component supports the AMQP 1.0 protocol using the JMS Client API of the Qpid project.

2.1. Dependencies

When using camel-amqp with Red Hat build of Camel Spring Boot, add the following Maven dependency to your pom.xml to have support for auto configuration:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-amqp-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

2.2. URI format

amqp:[queue:|topic:]destinationName[?options]
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

2.3. Configuring Options

Camel components are configured on two separate levels:

  • component level
  • endpoint level

2.3.1. Configuring Component Options

At the component level, you set general and shared configurations that are, then, inherited by the endpoints. It is the highest configuration level. For example, a component may have security settings, credentials for authentication, urls for network connection and so forth. Some components only have a few options, and others may have many. Because components typically have pre-configured defaults that are commonly used, then you may often only need to configure a few options on a component; or none at all.

You can configure components using:

  • the Component DSL.
  • in a configuration file (application.properties, *.yaml files, etc).
  • directly in the Java code.

2.3.2. Configuring Endpoint Options

You usually spend more time setting up endpoints because they have many options. These options help you customize what you want the endpoint to do. The options are also categorized into whether the endpoint is used as a consumer (from), as a producer (to), or both.

Configuring endpoints is most often done directly in the endpoint URI as path and query parameters. You can also use the Endpoint DSL and DataFormat DSL as a type safe way of configuring endpoints and data formats in Java.

A good practice when configuring options is to use Property Placeholders.

Property placeholders provide a few benefits:

  • They help prevent using hardcoded urls, port numbers, sensitive information, and other settings.
  • They allow externalizing the configuration from the code.
  • They help the code to become more flexible and reusable.

The following two sections list all the options, firstly for the component followed by the endpoint.

2.4. Component Options

The AMQP component supports 100 options, which are listed below.

Expand
NameDescriptionDefaultType

clientId (common)

Sets the JMS client ID to use. Note that this value, if specified, must be unique and can only be used by a single JMS connection instance. The clientId option is compulsory with JMS 1.1 durable topic subscriptions, because the client ID is used to control which client messages have to be stored for. With JMS 2.0 clients, clientId may be omitted, which creates a 'global' subscription.

 

String

connectionFactory (common)

The connection factory to be use. A connection factory must be configured either on the component or endpoint.

 

ConnectionFactory

disableReplyTo (common)

Specifies whether Camel ignores the JMSReplyTo header in messages. If true, Camel does not send a reply back to the destination specified in the JMSReplyTo header. You can use this option if you want Camel to consume from a route and you do not want Camel to automatically send back a reply message because another component in your code handles the reply message. You can also use this option if you want to use Camel as a proxy between different message brokers and you want to route message from one system to another.

false

boolean

durableSubscriptionName (common)

The durable subscriber name for specifying durable topic subscriptions. The clientId option must be configured for a JMS 1.1 durable subscription, and may be configured for JMS 2.0, to create a private durable subscription.

 

String

includeAmqpAnnotations (common)

Whether to include AMQP annotations when mapping from AMQP to Camel Message. Setting this to true maps AMQP message annotations that contain a JMS_AMQP_MA_ prefix to message headers. Due to limitations in Apache Qpid JMS API, currently delivery annotations are ignored.

false

boolean

jmsMessageType (common)

Allows you to force the use of a specific javax.jms.Message implementation for sending JMS messages. Possible values are: Bytes, Map, Object, Stream, Text. By default, Camel would determine which JMS message type to use from the In body type. This option allows you to specify it.

Enum values:

  • Bytes
  • Map
  • Object
  • Stream
  • Text
 

JmsMessageType

replyTo (common)

Provides an explicit ReplyTo destination (overrides any incoming value of Message.getJMSReplyTo() in consumer).

 

String

testConnectionOnStartup (common)

Specifies whether to test the connection on startup. This ensures that when Camel starts that all the JMS consumers have a valid connection to the JMS broker. If a connection cannot be granted then Camel throws an exception on startup. This ensures that Camel is not started with failed connections. The JMS producers is tested as well.

false

boolean

acknowledgementModeName (consumer)

The JMS acknowledgement name, which is one of: SESSION_TRANSACTED, CLIENT_ACKNOWLEDGE, AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE, DUPS_OK_ACKNOWLEDGE.

Enum values:

  • SESSION_TRANSACTED
  • CLIENT_ACKNOWLEDGE
  • AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE
  • DUPS_OK_ACKNOWLEDGE

AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE

String

artemisConsumerPriority (consumer)

Consumer priorities allow you to ensure that high priority consumers receive messages while they are active. Normally, active consumers connected to a queue receive messages from it in a round-robin fashion. When consumer priorities are in use, messages are delivered round-robin if multiple active consumers exist with the same high priority. Messages will only going to lower priority consumers when the high priority consumers do not have credit available to consume the message, or those high priority consumers have declined to accept the message (for instance because it does not meet the criteria of any selectors associated with the consumer).

 

int

asyncConsumer (consumer)

Whether the JmsConsumer processes the Exchange asynchronously. If enabled then the JmsConsumer may pickup the next message from the JMS queue, while the previous message is being processed asynchronously (by the Asynchronous Routing Engine). This means that messages may be processed not 100% strictly in order. If disabled (as default) then the Exchange is fully processed before the JmsConsumer picks up the next message from the JMS queue. Note if transacted has been enabled, then asyncConsumer=true does not run asynchronously, as transaction must be executed synchronously (Camel 3.0 may support async transactions).

false

boolean

autoStartup (consumer)

Specifies whether the consumer container should auto-startup.

true

boolean

cacheLevel (consumer)

Sets the cache level by ID for the underlying JMS resources. See cacheLevelName option for more details.

 

int

cacheLevelName (consumer)

Sets the cache level by name for the underlying JMS resources. Possible values are: CACHE_AUTO, CACHE_CONNECTION, CACHE_CONSUMER, CACHE_NONE, and CACHE_SESSION. The default setting is CACHE_AUTO. See the Spring documentation and Transactions Cache Levels for more information.

Enum values:

  • CACHE_AUTO
  • CACHE_CONNECTION
  • CACHE_CONSUMER
  • CACHE_NONE
  • CACHE_SESSION

CACHE_AUTO

String

concurrentConsumers (consumer)

Specifies the default number of concurrent consumers when consuming from JMS (not for request/reply over JMS). See also the maxMessagesPerTask option to control dynamic scaling up/down of threads. When doing request/reply over JMS then the option replyToConcurrentConsumers is used to control number of concurrent consumers on the reply message listener.

1

int

maxConcurrentConsumers (consumer)

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent consumers when consuming from JMS (not for request/reply over JMS). See also the maxMessagesPerTask option to control dynamic scaling up/down of threads. When doing request/reply over JMS then the option replyToMaxConcurrentConsumers is used to control number of concurrent consumers on the reply message listener.

 

int

replyToDeliveryPersistent (consumer)

Specifies whether to use persistent delivery by default for replies.

true

boolean

selector (consumer)

Sets the JMS selector to use.

 

String

subscriptionDurable (consumer)

Set whether to make the subscription durable. The durable subscription name to be used can be specified through the subscriptionName property. Default is false. Set this to true to register a durable subscription, typically in combination with a subscriptionName value (unless your message listener class name is good enough as subscription name). Only makes sense when listening to a topic (pub-sub domain), therefore this method switches the pubSubDomain flag as well.

false

boolean

subscriptionName (consumer)

Set the name of a subscription to create. To be applied in case of a topic (pub-sub domain) with a shared or durable subscription. The subscription name needs to be unique within this client’s JMS client id, if the client ID is configured. Default is the class name of the specified message listener. Note: Only 1 concurrent consumer (which is the default of this message listener container) is allowed for each subscription, except for a shared subscription (which requires JMS 2.0).

 

String

subscriptionShared (consumer)

Set whether to make the subscription shared. The shared subscription name to be used can be specified through the subscriptionName property. Default is false. Set this to true to register a shared subscription, typically in combination with a subscriptionName value (unless your message listener class name is good enough as subscription name). Note that shared subscriptions may also be durable, so this flag can (and often will) be combined with subscriptionDurable as well. Only makes sense when listening to a topic (pub-sub domain), therefore this method switches the pubSubDomain flag as well. Requires a JMS 2.0 compatible message broker.

false

boolean

acceptMessagesWhileStopping (consumer (advanced))

Specifies whether the consumer accept messages while it is stopping. You may consider enabling this option, if you start and stop JMS routes at runtime, while there are still messages enqueued on the queue. If this option is false, and you stop the JMS route, then messages may be rejected, and the JMS broker would have to attempt redeliveries, which yet again may be rejected, and eventually the message may be moved at a dead letter queue on the JMS broker. To avoid this its recommended to enable this option.

false

boolean

allowReplyManagerQuickStop (consumer (advanced))

Whether the DefaultMessageListenerContainer used in the reply managers for request-reply messaging allow the DefaultMessageListenerContainer.runningAllowed flag to quick stop in case JmsConfiguration#isAcceptMessagesWhileStopping is enabled, and org.apache.camel.CamelContext is currently being stopped. This quick stop ability is enabled by default in the regular JMS consumers but to enable for reply managers you must enable this flag.

false

boolean

consumerType (consumer (advanced))

The consumer type to use, which can be one of: Simple, Default, or Custom. The consumer type determines which Spring JMS listener to use. Default will use org.springframework.jms.listener.DefaultMessageListenerContainer, Simple will use org.springframework.jms.listener.SimpleMessageListenerContainer. When Custom is specified, the MessageListenerContainerFactory defined by the messageListenerContainerFactory option will determine what org.springframework.jms.listener.AbstractMessageListenerContainer to use.

Enum values:

  • Simple
  • Default
  • Custom

Default

ConsumerType

defaultTaskExecutorType (consumer (advanced))

Specifies what default TaskExecutor type to use in the DefaultMessageListenerContainer, for both consumer endpoints and the ReplyTo consumer of producer endpoints. Possible values: SimpleAsync (uses Spring’s SimpleAsyncTaskExecutor) or ThreadPool (uses Spring’s ThreadPoolTaskExecutor with optimal values - cached threadpool-like). If not set, it defaults to the previous behaviour, which uses a cached thread pool for consumer endpoints and SimpleAsync for reply consumers. The use of ThreadPool is recommended to reduce thread trash in elastic configurations with dynamically increasing and decreasing concurrent consumers.

Enum values:

  • ThreadPool
  • SimpleAsync
 

DefaultTaskExecutorType

eagerLoadingOfProperties (consumer (advanced))

Enables eager loading of JMS properties and payload as soon as a message is loaded which generally is inefficient as the JMS properties may not be required but sometimes can catch early any issues with the underlying JMS provider and the use of JMS properties. See also the option eagerPoisonBody.

false

boolean

eagerPoisonBody (consumer (advanced))

If eagerLoadingOfProperties is enabled and the JMS message payload (JMS body or JMS properties) is poison (cannot be read/mapped), then set this text as the message body instead so the message can be processed (the cause of the poison are already stored as exception on the Exchange). This can be turned off by setting eagerPoisonBody=false. See also the option eagerLoadingOfProperties.

Poison JMS message due to $\{exception.message}

String

exposeListenerSession (consumer (advanced))

Specifies whether the listener session should be exposed when consuming messages.

false

boolean

replyToConsumerType (consumer (advanced))

The consumer type of the reply consumer (when doing request/reply), which can be one of: Simple, Default, or Custom. The consumer type determines which Spring JMS listener to use. Default will use org.springframework.jms.listener.DefaultMessageListenerContainer, Simple will use org.springframework.jms.listener.SimpleMessageListenerContainer. When Custom is specified, the MessageListenerContainerFactory defined by the messageListenerContainerFactory option will determine what org.springframework.jms.listener.AbstractMessageListenerContainer to use.

Enum values:

  • Simple
  • Default
  • Custom

Default

ConsumerType

replyToSameDestinationAllowed (consumer (advanced))

Whether a JMS consumer is allowed to send a reply message to the same destination that the consumer is using to consume from. This prevents an endless loop by consuming and sending back the same message to itself.

false

boolean

taskExecutor (consumer (advanced))

Allows you to specify a custom task executor for consuming messages.

 

TaskExecutor

deliveryDelay (producer)

Sets delivery delay to use for send calls for JMS. This option requires JMS 2.0 compliant broker.

-1

long

deliveryMode (producer)

Specifies the delivery mode to be used. Possible values are those defined by javax.jms.DeliveryMode. NON_PERSISTENT = 1 and PERSISTENT = 2.

Enum values:

  • 1
  • 2
 

Integer

deliveryPersistent (producer)

Specifies whether persistent delivery is used by default.

true

boolean

explicitQosEnabled (producer)

Set if the deliveryMode, priority or timeToLive qualities of service should be used when sending messages. This option is based on Spring’s JmsTemplate. The deliveryMode, priority and timeToLive options are applied to the current endpoint. This contrasts with the preserveMessageQos option, which operates at message granularity, reading QoS properties exclusively from the Camel In message headers.

false

Boolean

formatDateHeadersToIso8601 (producer)

Sets whether JMS date properties should be formatted according to the ISO 8601 standard.

false

boolean

lazyStartProducer (producer)

Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

false

boolean

preserveMessageQos (producer)

Set to true, if you want to send message using the QoS settings specified on the message, instead of the QoS settings on the JMS endpoint. The following three headers are considered JMSPriority, JMSDeliveryMode, and JMSExpiration. You can provide all or only some of them. If not provided, Camel will fall back to use the values from the endpoint instead. So, when using this option, the headers override the values from the endpoint. The explicitQosEnabled option, by contrast, will only use options set on the endpoint, and not values from the message header.

false

boolean

priority (producer)

Values greater than 1 specify the message priority when sending (where 1 is the lowest priority and 9 is the highest). The explicitQosEnabled option must also be enabled in order for this option to have any effect.

Enum values:

  • 1
  • 2
  • 3
  • 4
  • 5
  • 6
  • 7
  • 8
  • 9

4

int

replyToConcurrentConsumers (producer)

Specifies the default number of concurrent consumers when doing request/reply over JMS. See also the maxMessagesPerTask option to control dynamic scaling up/down of threads.

1

int

replyToMaxConcurrentConsumers (producer)

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent consumers when using request/reply over JMS. See also the maxMessagesPerTask option to control dynamic scaling up/down of threads.

 

int

replyToOnTimeoutMaxConcurrentConsumers (producer)

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent consumers for continue routing when timeout occurred when using request/reply over JMS.

1

int

replyToOverride (producer)

Provides an explicit ReplyTo destination in the JMS message, which overrides the setting of replyTo. It is useful if you want to forward the message to a remote Queue and receive the reply message from the ReplyTo destination.

 

String

replyToType (producer)

Allows for explicitly specifying which kind of strategy to use for replyTo queues when doing request/reply over JMS. Possible values are: Temporary, Shared, or Exclusive. By default Camel will use temporary queues. However if replyTo has been configured, then Shared is used by default. This option allows you to use exclusive queues instead of shared ones. See Camel JMS documentation for more details, and especially the notes about the implications if running in a clustered environment, and the fact that Shared reply queues has lower performance than its alternatives Temporary and Exclusive.

Enum values:

  • Temporary
  • Shared
  • Exclusive
 

ReplyToType

requestTimeout (producer)

The timeout for waiting for a reply when using the InOut Exchange Pattern (in milliseconds). The default is 20 seconds. You can include the header CamelJmsRequestTimeout to override this endpoint configured timeout value, and thus have per message individual timeout values. See also the requestTimeoutCheckerInterval option.

20000

long

timeToLive (producer)

When sending messages, specifies the time-to-live of the message (in milliseconds).

-1

long

allowAdditionalHeaders (producer (advanced))

This option is used to allow additional headers which may have values that are invalid according to JMS specification. For example some message systems such as WMQ do this with header names using prefix JMS_IBM_MQMD_ containing values with byte array or other invalid types. You can specify multiple header names separated by comma, and use as suffix for wildcard matching.

 

String

allowNullBody (producer (advanced))

Whether to allow sending messages with no body. If this option is false and the message body is null, then an JMSException is thrown.

true

boolean

alwaysCopyMessage (producer (advanced))

If true, Camel will always make a JMS message copy of the message when it is passed to the producer for sending. Copying the message is needed in some situations, such as when a replyToDestinationSelectorName is set (incidentally, Camel will set the alwaysCopyMessage option to true, if a replyToDestinationSelectorName is set).

false

boolean

correlationProperty (producer (advanced))

When using InOut exchange pattern use this JMS property instead of JMSCorrelationID JMS property to correlate messages. If set messages will be correlated solely on the value of this property JMSCorrelationID property will be ignored and not set by Camel.

 

String

disableTimeToLive (producer (advanced))

Use this option to force disabling time to live. For example when you do request/reply over JMS, then Camel will by default use the requestTimeout value as time to live on the message being sent. The problem is that the sender and receiver systems have to have their clocks synchronized, so they are in sync. This is not always so easy to archive. So you can use disableTimeToLive=true to not set a time to live value on the sent message. Then the message will not expire on the receiver system. See below in section About time to live for more details.

false

boolean

forceSendOriginalMessage (producer (advanced))

When using mapJmsMessage=false Camel will create a new JMS message to send to a new JMS destination if you touch the headers (get or set) during the route. Set this option to true to force Camel to send the original JMS message that was received.

false

boolean

includeSentJMSMessageID (producer (advanced))

Only applicable when sending to JMS destination using InOnly (eg fire and forget). Enabling this option will enrich the Camel Exchange with the actual JMSMessageID that was used by the JMS client when the message was sent to the JMS destination.

false

boolean

replyToCacheLevelName (producer (advanced))

Sets the cache level by name for the reply consumer when doing request/reply over JMS. This option only applies when using fixed reply queues (not temporary). Camel will by default use: CACHE_CONSUMER for exclusive or shared w/ replyToSelectorName. And CACHE_SESSION for shared without replyToSelectorName. Some JMS brokers such as IBM WebSphere may require to set the replyToCacheLevelName=CACHE_NONE to work. Note: If using temporary queues then CACHE_NONE is not allowed, and you must use a higher value such as CACHE_CONSUMER or CACHE_SESSION.

Enum values:

  • CACHE_AUTO
  • CACHE_CONNECTION
  • CACHE_CONSUMER
  • CACHE_NONE
  • CACHE_SESSION
 

String

replyToDestinationSelectorName (producer (advanced))

Sets the JMS Selector using the fixed name to be used so you can filter out your own replies from the others when using a shared queue (that is, if you are not using a temporary reply queue).

 

String

streamMessageTypeEnabled (producer (advanced))

Sets whether StreamMessage type is enabled or not. Message payloads of streaming kind such as files, InputStream, etc will either by sent as BytesMessage or StreamMessage. This option controls which kind will be used. By default BytesMessage is used which enforces the entire message payload to be read into memory. By enabling this option the message payload is read into memory in chunks and each chunk is then written to the StreamMessage until no more data.

false

boolean

allowAutoWiredConnectionFactory (advanced)

Whether to auto-discover ConnectionFactory from the registry, if no connection factory has been configured. If only one instance of ConnectionFactory is found then it will be used. This is enabled by default.

true

boolean

allowAutoWiredDestinationResolver (advanced)

Whether to auto-discover DestinationResolver from the registry, if no destination resolver has been configured. If only one instance of DestinationResolver is found then it will be used. This is enabled by default.

true

boolean

allowSerializedHeaders (advanced)

Controls whether or not to include serialized headers. Applies only when transferExchange is true. This requires that the objects are serializable. Camel will exclude any non-serializable objects and log it at WARN level.

false

boolean

artemisStreamingEnabled (advanced)

Whether optimizing for Apache Artemis streaming mode. This can reduce memory overhead when using Artemis with JMS StreamMessage types. This option must only be enabled if Apache Artemis is being used.

false

boolean

asyncStartListener (advanced)

Whether to startup the JmsConsumer message listener asynchronously, when starting a route. For example if a JmsConsumer cannot get a connection to a remote JMS broker, then it may block while retrying and/or failover. This will cause Camel to block while starting routes. By setting this option to true, you will let routes startup, while the JmsConsumer connects to the JMS broker using a dedicated thread in asynchronous mode. If this option is used, then beware that if the connection could not be established, then an exception is logged at WARN level, and the consumer will not be able to receive messages; You can then restart the route to retry.

false

boolean

asyncStopListener (advanced)

Whether to stop the JmsConsumer message listener asynchronously, when stopping a route.

false

boolean

autowiredEnabled (advanced)

Whether autowiring is enabled. This is used for automatic autowiring options (the option must be marked as autowired) by looking up in the registry to find if there is a single instance of matching type, which then gets configured on the component. This can be used for automatic configuring JDBC data sources, JMS connection factories, AWS Clients, etc.

true

boolean

configuration (advanced)

To use a shared JMS configuration.

 

JmsConfiguration

destinationResolver (advanced)

A pluggable org.springframework.jms.support.destination.DestinationResolver that allows you to use your own resolver (for example, to lookup the real destination in a JNDI registry).

 

DestinationResolver

errorHandler (advanced)

Specifies a org.springframework.util.ErrorHandler to be invoked in case of any uncaught exceptions thrown while processing a Message. By default these exceptions will be logged at the WARN level, if no errorHandler has been configured. You can configure logging level and whether stack traces should be logged using errorHandlerLoggingLevel and errorHandlerLogStackTrace options. This makes it much easier to configure, than having to code a custom errorHandler.

 

ErrorHandler

exceptionListener (advanced)

Specifies the JMS Exception Listener that is to be notified of any underlying JMS exceptions.

 

ExceptionListener

idleConsumerLimit (advanced)

Specify the limit for the number of consumers that are allowed to be idle at any given time.

1

int

idleTaskExecutionLimit (advanced)

Specifies the limit for idle executions of a receive task, not having received any message within its execution. If this limit is reached, the task will shut down and leave receiving to other executing tasks (in the case of dynamic scheduling; see the maxConcurrentConsumers setting). There is additional doc available from Spring.

1

int

includeAllJMSXProperties (advanced)

Whether to include all JMSXxxx properties when mapping from JMS to Camel Message. Setting this to true will include properties such as JMSXAppID, and JMSXUserID etc. Note: If you are using a custom headerFilterStrategy then this option does not apply.

false

boolean

jmsKeyFormatStrategy (advanced)

Pluggable strategy for encoding and decoding JMS keys so they can be compliant with the JMS specification. Camel provides two implementations out of the box: default and passthrough. The default strategy will safely marshal dots and hyphens (. and -). The passthrough strategy leaves the key as is. Can be used for JMS brokers which do not care whether JMS header keys contain illegal characters. You can provide your own implementation of the org.apache.camel.component.jms.JmsKeyFormatStrategy and refer to it using the # notation.

Enum values:

  • default
  • passthrough
 

JmsKeyFormatStrategy

mapJmsMessage (advanced)

Specifies whether Camel should auto map the received JMS message to a suited payload type, such as javax.jms.TextMessage to a String etc.

true

boolean

maxMessagesPerTask (advanced)

The number of messages per task. -1 is unlimited. If you use a range for concurrent consumers (eg min max), then this option can be used to set a value to eg 100 to control how fast the consumers will shrink when less work is required.

-1

int

messageConverter (advanced)

To use a custom Spring org.springframework.jms.support.converter.MessageConverter so you can be in control how to map to/from a javax.jms.Message.

 

MessageConverter

messageCreatedStrategy (advanced)

To use the given MessageCreatedStrategy which are invoked when Camel creates new instances of javax.jms.Message objects when Camel is sending a JMS message.

 

MessageCreatedStrategy

messageIdEnabled (advanced)

When sending, specifies whether message IDs should be added. This is just an hint to the JMS broker. If the JMS provider accepts this hint, these messages must have the message ID set to null; if the provider ignores the hint, the message ID must be set to its normal unique value.

true

boolean

messageListenerContainerFactory (advanced)

Registry ID of the MessageListenerContainerFactory used to determine what org.springframework.jms.listener.AbstractMessageListenerContainer to use to consume messages. Setting this will automatically set consumerType to Custom.

 

MessageListenerContainerFactory

messageTimestampEnabled (advanced)

Specifies whether timestamps should be enabled by default on sending messages. This is just an hint to the JMS broker. If the JMS provider accepts this hint, these messages must have the timestamp set to zero; if the provider ignores the hint the timestamp must be set to its normal value.

true

boolean

pubSubNoLocal (advanced)

Specifies whether to inhibit the delivery of messages published by its own connection.

false

boolean

queueBrowseStrategy (advanced)

To use a custom QueueBrowseStrategy when browsing queues.

 

QueueBrowseStrategy

receiveTimeout (advanced)

The timeout for receiving messages (in milliseconds).

1000

long

recoveryInterval (advanced)

Specifies the interval between recovery attempts, i.e. when a connection is being refreshed, in milliseconds. The default is 5000 ms, that is, 5 seconds.

5000

long

requestTimeoutCheckerInterval (advanced)

Configures how often Camel should check for timed out Exchanges when doing request/reply over JMS. By default Camel checks once per second. But if you must react faster when a timeout occurs, then you can lower this interval, to check more frequently. The timeout is determined by the option requestTimeout.

1000

long

synchronous (advanced)

Sets whether synchronous processing should be strictly used.

false

boolean

transferException (advanced)

If enabled and you are using Request Reply messaging (InOut) and an Exchange failed on the consumer side, then the caused Exception will be send back in response as a javax.jms.ObjectMessage. If the client is Camel, the returned Exception is rethrown. This allows you to use Camel JMS as a bridge in your routing - for example, using persistent queues to enable robust routing. Notice that if you also have transferExchange enabled, this option takes precedence. The caught exception is required to be serializable. The original Exception on the consumer side can be wrapped in an outer exception such as org.apache.camel.RuntimeCamelException when returned to the producer. Use this with caution as the data is using Java Object serialization and requires the received to be able to deserialize the data at Class level, which forces a strong coupling between the producers and consumer!.

false

boolean

transferExchange (advanced)

You can transfer the exchange over the wire instead of just the body and headers. The following fields are transferred: In body, Out body, Fault body, In headers, Out headers, Fault headers, exchange properties, exchange exception. This requires that the objects are serializable. Camel will exclude any non-serializable objects and log it at WARN level. You must enable this option on both the producer and consumer side, so Camel knows the payloads is an Exchange and not a regular payload. Use this with caution as the data is using Java Object serialization and requires the receiver to be able to deserialize the data at Class level, which forces a strong coupling between the producers and consumers having to use compatible Camel versions!.

false

boolean

useMessageIDAsCorrelationID (advanced)

Specifies whether JMSMessageID should always be used as JMSCorrelationID for InOut messages.

false

boolean

waitForProvisionCorrelationToBeUpdatedCounter (advanced)

Number of times to wait for provisional correlation id to be updated to the actual correlation id when doing request/reply over JMS and when the option useMessageIDAsCorrelationID is enabled.

50

int

waitForProvisionCorrelationToBeUpdatedThreadSleepingTime (advanced)

Interval in millis to sleep each time while waiting for provisional correlation id to be updated.

100

long

headerFilterStrategy (filter)

To use a custom org.apache.camel.spi.HeaderFilterStrategy to filter header to and from Camel message.

 

HeaderFilterStrategy

errorHandlerLoggingLevel (logging)

Allows to configure the default errorHandler logging level for logging uncaught exceptions.

Enum values:

  • TRACE
  • DEBUG
  • INFO
  • WARN
  • ERROR
  • OFF

WARN

LoggingLevel

errorHandlerLogStackTrace (logging)

Allows to control whether stacktraces should be logged or not, by the default errorHandler.

true

boolean

password (security)

Password to use with the ConnectionFactory. You can also configure username/password directly on the ConnectionFactory.

 

String

username (security)

Username to use with the ConnectionFactory. You can also configure username/password directly on the ConnectionFactory.

 

String

transacted (transaction)

Specifies whether to use transacted mode.

false

boolean

transactedInOut (transaction)

Specifies whether InOut operations (request reply) default to using transacted mode If this flag is set to true, then Spring JmsTemplate will have sessionTransacted set to true, and the acknowledgeMode as transacted on the JmsTemplate used for InOut operations. Note from Spring JMS: that within a JTA transaction, the parameters passed to createQueue, createTopic methods are not taken into account. Depending on the Java EE transaction context, the container makes its own decisions on these values. Analogously, these parameters are not taken into account within a locally managed transaction either, since Spring JMS operates on an existing JMS Session in this case. Setting this flag to true will use a short local JMS transaction when running outside of a managed transaction, and a synchronized local JMS transaction in case of a managed transaction (other than an XA transaction) being present. This has the effect of a local JMS transaction being managed alongside the main transaction (which might be a native JDBC transaction), with the JMS transaction committing right after the main transaction.

false

boolean

lazyCreateTransactionManager (transaction (advanced))

If true, Camel will create a JmsTransactionManager, if there is no transactionManager injected when option transacted=true.

true

boolean

transactionManager (transaction (advanced))

The Spring transaction manager to use.

 

PlatformTransactionManager

transactionName (transaction (advanced))

The name of the transaction to use.

Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

with the following path and query parameters:

2.5.1. Path Parameters (2 parameters)

Expand
NameDescriptionDefaultType

destinationType (common)

The kind of destination to use.

Enum values:

  • queue
  • topic
  • temp-queue
  • temp-topic

queue

String

destinationName (common)

Required Name of the queue or topic to use as destination.

 

String

2.5.2. Query Parameters (96 parameters)

Expand
NameDescriptionDefaultType

clientId (common)

Sets the JMS client ID to use. Note that this value, if specified, must be unique and can only be used by a single JMS connection instance. It is typically only required for durable topic subscriptions with JMS 1.1. The clientId option is compulsory with JMS 1.1 durable topic subscriptions, because the client ID is used to control which client messages have to be stored for. With JMS 2.0 clients, clientId may be omitted, which creates a 'global' subscription.

 

String

connectionFactory (common)

The connection factory to be use. A connection factory must be configured either on the component or endpoint.

 

ConnectionFactory

disableReplyTo (common)

Specifies whether Camel ignores the JMSReplyTo header in messages. If true, Camel does not send a reply back to the destination specified in the JMSReplyTo header. You can use this option if you want Camel to consume from a route and you do not want Camel to automatically send back a reply message because another component in your code handles the reply message. You can also use this option if you want to use Camel as a proxy between different message brokers and you want to route message from one system to another.

false

boolean

durableSubscriptionName (common)

The durable subscriber name for specifying durable topic subscriptions. The clientId option must be configured for a JMS 1.1 durable subscription, and may be configured for JMS 2.0, to create a private durable subscription.

 

String

jmsMessageType (common)

Allows you to force the use of a specific javax.jms.Message implementation for sending JMS messages. Possible values are: Bytes, Map, Object, Stream, Text. By default, Camel would determine which JMS message type to use from the In body type. This option allows you to specify it.

Enum values:

  • Bytes
  • Map
  • Object
  • Stream
  • Text
 

JmsMessageType

replyTo (common)

Provides an explicit ReplyTo destination (overrides any incoming value of Message.getJMSReplyTo() in consumer).

 

String

testConnectionOnStartup (common)

Specifies whether to test the connection on startup. This ensures that when Camel starts that all the JMS consumers have a valid connection to the JMS broker. If a connection cannot be granted then Camel throws an exception on startup. This ensures that Camel is not started with failed connections. The JMS producers is tested as well.

false

boolean

acknowledgementModeName (consumer)

The JMS acknowledgement name, which is one of: SESSION_TRANSACTED, CLIENT_ACKNOWLEDGE, AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE, DUPS_OK_ACKNOWLEDGE.

Enum values:

  • SESSION_TRANSACTED
  • CLIENT_ACKNOWLEDGE
  • AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE
  • DUPS_OK_ACKNOWLEDGE

AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE

String

artemisConsumerPriority (consumer)

Consumer priorities allow you to ensure that high priority consumers receive messages while they are active. Normally, active consumers connected to a queue receive messages from it in a round-robin fashion. When consumer priorities are in use, messages are delivered round-robin if multiple active consumers exist with the same high priority. Messages will only going to lower priority consumers when the high priority consumers do not have credit available to consume the message, or those high priority consumers have declined to accept the message (for instance because it does not meet the criteria of any selectors associated with the consumer).

 

int

asyncConsumer (consumer)

Whether the JmsConsumer processes the Exchange asynchronously. If enabled then the JmsConsumer may pickup the next message from the JMS queue, while the previous message is being processed asynchronously (by the Asynchronous Routing Engine). This means that messages may be processed not 100% strictly in order. If disabled (as default) then the Exchange is fully processed before the JmsConsumer picks up the next message from the JMS queue. Note if transacted has been enabled, then asyncConsumer=true does not run asynchronously, as transaction must be executed synchronously (Camel 3.0 may support async transactions).

false

boolean

autoStartup (consumer)

Specifies whether the consumer container should auto-startup.

true

boolean

cacheLevel (consumer)

Sets the cache level by ID for the underlying JMS resources. See cacheLevelName option for more details.

 

int

cacheLevelName (consumer)

Sets the cache level by name for the underlying JMS resources. Possible values are: CACHE_AUTO, CACHE_CONNECTION, CACHE_CONSUMER, CACHE_NONE, and CACHE_SESSION. The default setting is CACHE_AUTO. See the Spring documentation and Transactions Cache Levels for more information.

Enum values:

  • CACHE_AUTO
  • CACHE_CONNECTION
  • CACHE_CONSUMER
  • CACHE_NONE
  • CACHE_SESSION

CACHE_AUTO

String

concurrentConsumers (consumer)

Specifies the default number of concurrent consumers when consuming from JMS (not for request/reply over JMS). See also the maxMessagesPerTask option to control dynamic scaling up/down of threads. When doing request/reply over JMS then the option replyToConcurrentConsumers is used to control number of concurrent consumers on the reply message listener.

1

int

maxConcurrentConsumers (consumer)

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent consumers when consuming from JMS (not for request/reply over JMS). See also the maxMessagesPerTask option to control dynamic scaling up/down of threads. When doing request/reply over JMS then the option replyToMaxConcurrentConsumers is used to control number of concurrent consumers on the reply message listener.

 

int

replyToDeliveryPersistent (consumer)

Specifies whether to use persistent delivery by default for replies.

true

boolean

selector (consumer)

Sets the JMS selector to use.

 

String

subscriptionDurable (consumer)

Set whether to make the subscription durable. The durable subscription name to be used can be specified through the subscriptionName property. Default is false. Set this to true to register a durable subscription, typically in combination with a subscriptionName value (unless your message listener class name is good enough as subscription name). Only makes sense when listening to a topic (pub-sub domain), therefore this method switches the pubSubDomain flag as well.

false

boolean

subscriptionName (consumer)

Set the name of a subscription to create. To be applied in case of a topic (pub-sub domain) with a shared or durable subscription. The subscription name needs to be unique within this client’s JMS client id, if the client ID is configured. Default is the class name of the specified message listener. Note: Only 1 concurrent consumer (which is the default of this message listener container) is allowed for each subscription, except for a shared subscription (which requires JMS 2.0).

 

String

subscriptionShared (consumer)

Set whether to make the subscription shared. The shared subscription name to be used can be specified through the subscriptionName property. Default is false. Set this to true to register a shared subscription, typically in combination with a subscriptionName value (unless your message listener class name is good enough as subscription name). Note that shared subscriptions may also be durable, so this flag can (and often will) be combined with subscriptionDurable as well. Only makes sense when listening to a topic (pub-sub domain), therefore this method switches the pubSubDomain flag as well. Requires a JMS 2.0 compatible message broker.

false

boolean

acceptMessagesWhileStopping (consumer (advanced))

Specifies whether the consumer accept messages while it is stopping. You may consider enabling this option, if you start and stop JMS routes at runtime, while there are still messages enqueued on the queue. If this option is false, and you stop the JMS route, then messages may be rejected, and the JMS broker would have to attempt redeliveries, which yet again may be rejected, and eventually the message may be moved at a dead letter queue on the JMS broker. To avoid this its recommended to enable this option.

false

boolean

allowReplyManagerQuickStop (consumer (advanced))

Whether the DefaultMessageListenerContainer used in the reply managers for request-reply messaging allow the DefaultMessageListenerContainer.runningAllowed flag to quick stop in case JmsConfiguration#isAcceptMessagesWhileStopping is enabled, and org.apache.camel.CamelContext is currently being stopped. This quick stop ability is enabled by default in the regular JMS consumers but to enable for reply managers you must enable this flag.

false

boolean

consumerType (consumer (advanced))

The consumer type to use, which can be one of: Simple, Default, or Custom. The consumer type determines which Spring JMS listener to use. Default will use org.springframework.jms.listener.DefaultMessageListenerContainer, Simple will use org.springframework.jms.listener.SimpleMessageListenerContainer. When Custom is specified, the MessageListenerContainerFactory defined by the messageListenerContainerFactory option will determine what org.springframework.jms.listener.AbstractMessageListenerContainer to use.

Enum values:

  • Simple
  • Default
  • Custom

Default

ConsumerType

defaultTaskExecutorType (consumer (advanced))

Specifies what default TaskExecutor type to use in the DefaultMessageListenerContainer, for both consumer endpoints and the ReplyTo consumer of producer endpoints. Possible values: SimpleAsync (uses Spring’s SimpleAsyncTaskExecutor) or ThreadPool (uses Spring’s ThreadPoolTaskExecutor with optimal values - cached threadpool-like). If not set, it defaults to the previous behaviour, which uses a cached thread pool for consumer endpoints and SimpleAsync for reply consumers. The use of ThreadPool is recommended to reduce thread trash in elastic configurations with dynamically increasing and decreasing concurrent consumers.

Enum values:

  • ThreadPool
  • SimpleAsync
 

DefaultTaskExecutorType

eagerLoadingOfProperties (consumer (advanced))

Enables eager loading of JMS properties and payload as soon as a message is loaded which generally is inefficient as the JMS properties may not be required but sometimes can catch early any issues with the underlying JMS provider and the use of JMS properties. See also the option eagerPoisonBody.

false

boolean

eagerPoisonBody (consumer (advanced))

If eagerLoadingOfProperties is enabled and the JMS message payload (JMS body or JMS properties) is poison (cannot be read/mapped), then set this text as the message body instead so the message can be processed (the cause of the poison are already stored as exception on the Exchange). This can be turned off by setting eagerPoisonBody=false. See also the option eagerLoadingOfProperties.

Poison JMS message due to $\{exception.message}

String

exceptionHandler (consumer (advanced))

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 (advanced))

Sets the exchange pattern when the consumer creates an exchange.

Enum values:

  • InOnly
  • InOut
  • InOptionalOut
 

ExchangePattern

exposeListenerSession (consumer (advanced))

Specifies whether the listener session should be exposed when consuming messages.

false

boolean

replyToConsumerType (consumer (advanced))

The consumer type of the reply consumer (when doing request/reply), which can be one of: Simple, Default, or Custom. The consumer type determines which Spring JMS listener to use. Default will use org.springframework.jms.listener.DefaultMessageListenerContainer, Simple will use org.springframework.jms.listener.SimpleMessageListenerContainer. When Custom is specified, the MessageListenerContainerFactory defined by the messageListenerContainerFactory option will determine what org.springframework.jms.listener.AbstractMessageListenerContainer to use.

Enum values:

  • Simple
  • Default
  • Custom

Default

ConsumerType

replyToSameDestinationAllowed (consumer (advanced))

Whether a JMS consumer is allowed to send a reply message to the same destination that the consumer is using to consume from. This prevents an endless loop by consuming and sending back the same message to itself.

false

boolean

taskExecutor (consumer (advanced))

Allows you to specify a custom task executor for consuming messages.

 

TaskExecutor

deliveryDelay (producer)

Sets delivery delay to use for send calls for JMS. This option requires JMS 2.0 compliant broker.

-1

long

deliveryMode (producer)

Specifies the delivery mode to be used. Possible values are those defined by javax.jms.DeliveryMode. NON_PERSISTENT = 1 and PERSISTENT = 2.

Enum values:

  • 1
  • 2
 

Integer

deliveryPersistent (producer)

Specifies whether persistent delivery is used by default.

true

boolean

explicitQosEnabled (producer)

Set if the deliveryMode, priority or timeToLive qualities of service should be used when sending messages. This option is based on Spring’s JmsTemplate. The deliveryMode, priority and timeToLive options are applied to the current endpoint. This contrasts with the preserveMessageQos option, which operates at message granularity, reading QoS properties exclusively from the Camel In message headers.

false

Boolean

formatDateHeadersToIso8601 (producer)

Sets whether JMS date properties should be formatted according to the ISO 8601 standard.

false

boolean

preserveMessageQos (producer)

Set to true, if you want to send message using the QoS settings specified on the message, instead of the QoS settings on the JMS endpoint. The following three headers are considered JMSPriority, JMSDeliveryMode, and JMSExpiration. You can provide all or only some of them. If not provided, Camel will fall back to use the values from the endpoint instead. So, when using this option, the headers override the values from the endpoint. The explicitQosEnabled option, by contrast, will only use options set on the endpoint, and not values from the message header.

false

boolean

priority (producer)

Values greater than 1 specify the message priority when sending (where 1 is the lowest priority and 9 is the highest). The explicitQosEnabled option must also be enabled in order for this option to have any effect.

Enum values:

  • 1
  • 2
  • 3
  • 4
  • 5
  • 6
  • 7
  • 8
  • 9

4

int

replyToConcurrentConsumers (producer)

Specifies the default number of concurrent consumers when doing request/reply over JMS. See also the maxMessagesPerTask option to control dynamic scaling up/down of threads.

1

int

replyToMaxConcurrentConsumers (producer)

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent consumers when using request/reply over JMS. See also the maxMessagesPerTask option to control dynamic scaling up/down of threads.

 

int

replyToOnTimeoutMaxConcurrentConsumers (producer)

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent consumers for continue routing when timeout occurred when using request/reply over JMS.

1

int

replyToOverride (producer)

Provides an explicit ReplyTo destination in the JMS message, which overrides the setting of replyTo. It is useful if you want to forward the message to a remote Queue and receive the reply message from the ReplyTo destination.

 

String

replyToType (producer)

Allows for explicitly specifying which kind of strategy to use for replyTo queues when doing request/reply over JMS. Possible values are: Temporary, Shared, or Exclusive. By default Camel will use temporary queues. However if replyTo has been configured, then Shared is used by default. This option allows you to use exclusive queues instead of shared ones. See Camel JMS documentation for more details, and especially the notes about the implications if running in a clustered environment, and the fact that Shared reply queues has lower performance than its alternatives Temporary and Exclusive.

Enum values:

  • Temporary
  • Shared
  • Exclusive
 

ReplyToType

requestTimeout (producer)

The timeout for waiting for a reply when using the InOut Exchange Pattern (in milliseconds). The default is 20 seconds. You can include the header CamelJmsRequestTimeout to override this endpoint configured timeout value, and thus have per message individual timeout values. See also the requestTimeoutCheckerInterval option.

20000

long

timeToLive (producer)

When sending messages, specifies the time-to-live of the message (in milliseconds).

-1

long

allowAdditionalHeaders (producer (advanced))

This option is used to allow additional headers which may have values that are invalid according to JMS specification. For example some message systems such as WMQ do this with header names using prefix JMS_IBM_MQMD_ containing values with byte array or other invalid types. You can specify multiple header names separated by comma, and use as suffix for wildcard matching.

 

String

allowNullBody (producer (advanced))

Whether to allow sending messages with no body. If this option is false and the message body is null, then an JMSException is thrown.

true

boolean

alwaysCopyMessage (producer (advanced))

If true, Camel will always make a JMS message copy of the message when it is passed to the producer for sending. Copying the message is needed in some situations, such as when a replyToDestinationSelectorName is set (incidentally, Camel will set the alwaysCopyMessage option to true, if a replyToDestinationSelectorName is set).

false

boolean

correlationProperty (producer (advanced))

When using InOut exchange pattern use this JMS property instead of JMSCorrelationID JMS property to correlate messages. If set messages will be correlated solely on the value of this property JMSCorrelationID property will be ignored and not set by Camel.

 

String

disableTimeToLive (producer (advanced))

Use this option to force disabling time to live. For example when you do request/reply over JMS, then Camel will by default use the requestTimeout value as time to live on the message being sent. The problem is that the sender and receiver systems have to have their clocks synchronized, so they are in sync. This is not always so easy to archive. So you can use disableTimeToLive=true to not set a time to live value on the sent message. Then the message will not expire on the receiver system. See below in section About time to live for more details.

false

boolean

forceSendOriginalMessage (producer (advanced))

When using mapJmsMessage=false Camel will create a new JMS message to send to a new JMS destination if you touch the headers (get or set) during the route. Set this option to true to force Camel to send the original JMS message that was received.

false

boolean

includeSentJMSMessageID (producer (advanced))

Only applicable when sending to JMS destination using InOnly (eg fire and forget). Enabling this option will enrich the Camel Exchange with the actual JMSMessageID that was used by the JMS client when the message was sent to the JMS destination.

false

boolean

lazyStartProducer (producer (advanced))

Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

false

boolean

replyToCacheLevelName (producer (advanced))

Sets the cache level by name for the reply consumer when doing request/reply over JMS. This option only applies when using fixed reply queues (not temporary). Camel will by default use: CACHE_CONSUMER for exclusive or shared w/ replyToSelectorName. And CACHE_SESSION for shared without replyToSelectorName. Some JMS brokers such as IBM WebSphere may require to set the replyToCacheLevelName=CACHE_NONE to work. Note: If using temporary queues then CACHE_NONE is not allowed, and you must use a higher value such as CACHE_CONSUMER or CACHE_SESSION.

Enum values:

  • CACHE_AUTO
  • CACHE_CONNECTION
  • CACHE_CONSUMER
  • CACHE_NONE
  • CACHE_SESSION
 

String

replyToDestinationSelectorName (producer (advanced))

Sets the JMS Selector using the fixed name to be used so you can filter out your own replies from the others when using a shared queue (that is, if you are not using a temporary reply queue).

 

String

streamMessageTypeEnabled (producer (advanced))

Sets whether StreamMessage type is enabled or not. Message payloads of streaming kind such as files, InputStream, etc will either by sent as BytesMessage or StreamMessage. This option controls which kind will be used. By default BytesMessage is used which enforces the entire message payload to be read into memory. By enabling this option the message payload is read into memory in chunks and each chunk is then written to the StreamMessage until no more data.

false

boolean

allowSerializedHeaders (advanced)

Controls whether or not to include serialized headers. Applies only when transferExchange is true. This requires that the objects are serializable. Camel will exclude any non-serializable objects and log it at WARN level.

false

boolean

artemisStreamingEnabled (advanced)

Whether optimizing for Apache Artemis streaming mode. This can reduce memory overhead when using Artemis with JMS StreamMessage types. This option must only be enabled if Apache Artemis is being used.

false

boolean

asyncStartListener (advanced)

Whether to startup the JmsConsumer message listener asynchronously, when starting a route. For example if a JmsConsumer cannot get a connection to a remote JMS broker, then it may block while retrying and/or failover. This will cause Camel to block while starting routes. By setting this option to true, you will let routes startup, while the JmsConsumer connects to the JMS broker using a dedicated thread in asynchronous mode. If this option is used, then beware that if the connection could not be established, then an exception is logged at WARN level, and the consumer will not be able to receive messages; You can then restart the route to retry.

false

boolean

asyncStopListener (advanced)

Whether to stop the JmsConsumer message listener asynchronously, when stopping a route.

false

boolean

destinationResolver (advanced)

A pluggable org.springframework.jms.support.destination.DestinationResolver that allows you to use your own resolver (for example, to lookup the real destination in a JNDI registry).

 

DestinationResolver

errorHandler (advanced)

Specifies a org.springframework.util.ErrorHandler to be invoked in case of any uncaught exceptions thrown while processing a Message. By default these exceptions will be logged at the WARN level, if no errorHandler has been configured. You can configure logging level and whether stack traces should be logged using errorHandlerLoggingLevel and errorHandlerLogStackTrace options. This makes it much easier to configure, than having to code a custom errorHandler.

 

ErrorHandler

exceptionListener (advanced)

Specifies the JMS Exception Listener that is to be notified of any underlying JMS exceptions.

 

ExceptionListener

headerFilterStrategy (advanced)

To use a custom HeaderFilterStrategy to filter header to and from Camel message.

 

HeaderFilterStrategy

idleConsumerLimit (advanced)

Specify the limit for the number of consumers that are allowed to be idle at any given time.

1

int

idleTaskExecutionLimit (advanced)

Specifies the limit for idle executions of a receive task, not having received any message within its execution. If this limit is reached, the task will shut down and leave receiving to other executing tasks (in the case of dynamic scheduling; see the maxConcurrentConsumers setting). There is additional doc available from Spring.

1

int

includeAllJMSXProperties (advanced)

Whether to include all JMSXxxx properties when mapping from JMS to Camel Message. Setting this to true will include properties such as JMSXAppID, and JMSXUserID etc. Note: If you are using a custom headerFilterStrategy then this option does not apply.

false

boolean

jmsKeyFormatStrategy (advanced)

Pluggable strategy for encoding and decoding JMS keys so they can be compliant with the JMS specification. Camel provides two implementations out of the box: default and passthrough. The default strategy will safely marshal dots and hyphens (. and -). The passthrough strategy leaves the key as is. Can be used for JMS brokers which do not care whether JMS header keys contain illegal characters. You can provide your own implementation of the org.apache.camel.component.jms.JmsKeyFormatStrategy and refer to it using the # notation.

Enum values:

  • default
  • passthrough
 

JmsKeyFormatStrategy

mapJmsMessage (advanced)

Specifies whether Camel should auto map the received JMS message to a suited payload type, such as javax.jms.TextMessage to a String etc.

true

boolean

maxMessagesPerTask (advanced)

The number of messages per task. -1 is unlimited. If you use a range for concurrent consumers (eg min max), then this option can be used to set a value to eg 100 to control how fast the consumers will shrink when less work is required.

-1

int

messageConverter (advanced)

To use a custom Spring org.springframework.jms.support.converter.MessageConverter so you can be in control how to map to/from a javax.jms.Message.

 

MessageConverter

messageCreatedStrategy (advanced)

To use the given MessageCreatedStrategy which are invoked when Camel creates new instances of javax.jms.Message objects when Camel is sending a JMS message.

 

MessageCreatedStrategy

messageIdEnabled (advanced)

When sending, specifies whether message IDs should be added. This is just an hint to the JMS broker. If the JMS provider accepts this hint, these messages must have the message ID set to null; if the provider ignores the hint, the message ID must be set to its normal unique value.

true

boolean

messageListenerContainerFactory (advanced)

Registry ID of the MessageListenerContainerFactory used to determine what org.springframework.jms.listener.AbstractMessageListenerContainer to use to consume messages. Setting this will automatically set consumerType to Custom.

 

MessageListenerContainerFactory

messageTimestampEnabled (advanced)

Specifies whether timestamps should be enabled by default on sending messages. This is just an hint to the JMS broker. If the JMS provider accepts this hint, these messages must have the timestamp set to zero; if the provider ignores the hint the timestamp must be set to its normal value.

true

boolean

pubSubNoLocal (advanced)

Specifies whether to inhibit the delivery of messages published by its own connection.

false

boolean

receiveTimeout (advanced)

The timeout for receiving messages (in milliseconds).

1000

long

recoveryInterval (advanced)

Specifies the interval between recovery attempts, i.e. when a connection is being refreshed, in milliseconds. The default is 5000 ms, that is, 5 seconds.

5000

long

requestTimeoutCheckerInterval (advanced)

Configures how often Camel should check for timed out Exchanges when doing request/reply over JMS. By default Camel checks once per second. But if you must react faster when a timeout occurs, then you can lower this interval, to check more frequently. The timeout is determined by the option requestTimeout.

1000

long

synchronous (advanced)

Sets whether synchronous processing should be strictly used.

false

boolean

transferException (advanced)

If enabled and you are using Request Reply messaging (InOut) and an Exchange failed on the consumer side, then the caused Exception will be send back in response as a javax.jms.ObjectMessage. If the client is Camel, the returned Exception is rethrown. This allows you to use Camel JMS as a bridge in your routing - for example, using persistent queues to enable robust routing. Notice that if you also have transferExchange enabled, this option takes precedence. The caught exception is required to be serializable. The original Exception on the consumer side can be wrapped in an outer exception such as org.apache.camel.RuntimeCamelException when returned to the producer. Use this with caution as the data is using Java Object serialization and requires the received to be able to deserialize the data at Class level, which forces a strong coupling between the producers and consumer!.

false

boolean

transferExchange (advanced)

You can transfer the exchange over the wire instead of just the body and headers. The following fields are transferred: In body, Out body, Fault body, In headers, Out headers, Fault headers, exchange properties, exchange exception. This requires that the objects are serializable. Camel will exclude any non-serializable objects and log it at WARN level. You must enable this option on both the producer and consumer side, so Camel knows the payloads is an Exchange and not a regular payload. Use this with caution as the data is using Java Object serialization and requires the receiver to be able to deserialize the data at Class level, which forces a strong coupling between the producers and consumers having to use compatible Camel versions!.

false

boolean

useMessageIDAsCorrelationID (advanced)

Specifies whether JMSMessageID should always be used as JMSCorrelationID for InOut messages.

false

boolean

waitForProvisionCorrelationToBeUpdatedCounter (advanced)

Number of times to wait for provisional correlation id to be updated to the actual correlation id when doing request/reply over JMS and when the option useMessageIDAsCorrelationID is enabled.

50

int

waitForProvisionCorrelationToBeUpdatedThreadSleepingTime (advanced)

Interval in millis to sleep each time while waiting for provisional correlation id to be updated.

100

long

errorHandlerLoggingLevel (logging)

Allows to configure the default errorHandler logging level for logging uncaught exceptions.

Enum values:

  • TRACE
  • DEBUG
  • INFO
  • WARN
  • ERROR
  • OFF

WARN

LoggingLevel

errorHandlerLogStackTrace (logging)

Allows to control whether stacktraces should be logged or not, by the default errorHandler.

true

boolean

password (security)

Password to use with the ConnectionFactory. You can also configure username/password directly on the ConnectionFactory.

 

String

username (security)

Username to use with the ConnectionFactory. You can also configure username/password directly on the ConnectionFactory.

 

String

transacted (transaction)

Specifies whether to use transacted mode.

false

boolean

transactedInOut (transaction)

Specifies whether InOut operations (request reply) default to using transacted mode If this flag is set to true, then Spring JmsTemplate will have sessionTransacted set to true, and the acknowledgeMode as transacted on the JmsTemplate used for InOut operations. Note from Spring JMS: that within a JTA transaction, the parameters passed to createQueue, createTopic methods are not taken into account. Depending on the Java EE transaction context, the container makes its own decisions on these values. Analogously, these parameters are not taken into account within a locally managed transaction either, since Spring JMS operates on an existing JMS Session in this case. Setting this flag to true will use a short local JMS transaction when running outside of a managed transaction, and a synchronized local JMS transaction in case of a managed transaction (other than an XA transaction) being present. This has the effect of a local JMS transaction being managed alongside the main transaction (which might be a native JDBC transaction), with the JMS transaction committing right after the main transaction.

false

boolean

lazyCreateTransactionManager (transaction (advanced))

If true, Camel will create a JmsTransactionManager, if there is no transactionManager injected when option transacted=true.

true

boolean

transactionManager (transaction (advanced))

The Spring transaction manager to use.

 

PlatformTransactionManager

transactionName (transaction (advanced))

The name of the transaction to use.

 

String

transactionTimeout (transaction (advanced))

The timeout value of the transaction (in seconds), if using transacted mode.

2.6. Usage

As AMQP component is inherited from JMS component, the usage of the former is almost identical to the latter:

Using AMQP component

// Consuming from AMQP queue
from("amqp:queue:incoming").
  to(...);

// Sending message to the AMQP topic
from(...).
  to("amqp:topic:notify");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

2.7. Configuring AMQP component

Creating AMQP 1.0 component

AMQPComponent amqp = AMQPComponent.amqpComponent("amqp://localhost:5672");

AMQPComponent authorizedAmqp = AMQPComponent.amqpComponent("amqp://localhost:5672", "user", "password");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

You can also add an instance of org.apache.camel.component.amqp.AMQPConnectionDetails to the registry in order to automatically configure the AMQP component. For example for Spring Boot you just have to define bean:

AMQP connection details auto-configuration

@Bean
AMQPConnectionDetails amqpConnection() {
  return new AMQPConnectionDetails("amqp://localhost:5672");
}

@Bean
AMQPConnectionDetails securedAmqpConnection() {
  return new AMQPConnectionDetails("amqp://localhost:5672", "username", "password");
}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Likewise, you can also use CDI producer methods when using Camel-CDI

AMQP connection details auto-configuration for CDI

@Produces
AMQPConnectionDetails amqpConnection() {
  return new AMQPConnectionDetails("amqp://localhost:5672");
}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

You can also rely on the to read the AMQP connection details. Factory method AMQPConnectionDetails.discoverAMQP() attempts to read Camel properties in a Kubernetes-like convention, just as demonstrated on the snippet below:

AMQP connection details auto-configuration

export AMQP_SERVICE_HOST = "mybroker.com"
export AMQP_SERVICE_PORT = "6666"
export AMQP_SERVICE_USERNAME = "username"
export AMQP_SERVICE_PASSWORD = "password"

...

@Bean
AMQPConnectionDetails amqpConnection() {
  return AMQPConnectionDetails.discoverAMQP();
}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Enabling AMQP specific options

If you, for example, need to enable amqp.traceFrames you can do that by appending the option to your URI, like the following example:

AMQPComponent amqp = AMQPComponent.amqpComponent("amqp://localhost:5672?amqp.traceFrames=true");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

For reference refer QPID JMS client configuration.

2.8. Using topics

To have using topics working with camel-amqp you need to configure the component to use topic:// as topic prefix, as shown below:

 <bean id="amqp" class="org.apache.camel.component.amqp.AmqpComponent">
   <property name="connectionFactory">
     <bean class="org.apache.qpid.jms.JmsConnectionFactory" factory-method="createFromURL">
       <property name="remoteURI" value="amqp://localhost:5672" />
       <property name="topicPrefix" value="topic://" />  <!-- only necessary when connecting to ActiveMQ over AMQP 1.0 -->
     </bean>
   </property>
 </bean>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Keep in mind that both AMQPComponent#amqpComponent() methods and AMQPConnectionDetails pre-configure the component with the topic prefix, so you don’t have to configure it explicitly.

2.9. Spring Boot Auto-Configuration

The component supports 101 options, which are listed below.

Expand
NameDescriptionDefaultType

camel.component.amqp.accept-messages-while-stopping

Specifies whether the consumer accept messages while it is stopping. You may consider enabling this option, if you start and stop JMS routes at runtime, while there are still messages enqueued on the queue. If this option is false, and you stop the JMS route, then messages may be rejected, and the JMS broker would have to attempt redeliveries, which yet again may be rejected, and eventually the message may be moved at a dead letter queue on the JMS broker. To avoid this its recommended to enable this option.

false

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.acknowledgement-mode-name

The JMS acknowledgement name, which is one of: SESSION_TRANSACTED, CLIENT_ACKNOWLEDGE, AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE, DUPS_OK_ACKNOWLEDGE.

AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE

String

camel.component.amqp.allow-additional-headers

This option is used to allow additional headers which may have values that are invalid according to JMS specification. For example some message systems such as WMQ do this with header names using prefix JMS_IBM_MQMD_ containing values with byte array or other invalid types. You can specify multiple header names separated by comma, and use as suffix for wildcard matching.

 

String

camel.component.amqp.allow-auto-wired-connection-factory

Whether to auto-discover ConnectionFactory from the registry, if no connection factory has been configured. If only one instance of ConnectionFactory is found then it will be used. This is enabled by default.

true

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.allow-auto-wired-destination-resolver

Whether to auto-discover DestinationResolver from the registry, if no destination resolver has been configured. If only one instance of DestinationResolver is found then it will be used. This is enabled by default.

true

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.allow-null-body

Whether to allow sending messages with no body. If this option is false and the message body is null, then an JMSException is thrown.

true

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.allow-reply-manager-quick-stop

Whether the DefaultMessageListenerContainer used in the reply managers for request-reply messaging allow the DefaultMessageListenerContainer.runningAllowed flag to quick stop in case JmsConfiguration#isAcceptMessagesWhileStopping is enabled, and org.apache.camel.CamelContext is currently being stopped. This quick stop ability is enabled by default in the regular JMS consumers but to enable for reply managers you must enable this flag.

false

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.allow-serialized-headers

Controls whether or not to include serialized headers. Applies only when transferExchange is true. This requires that the objects are serializable. Camel will exclude any non-serializable objects and log it at WARN level.

false

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.always-copy-message

If true, Camel will always make a JMS message copy of the message when it is passed to the producer for sending. Copying the message is needed in some situations, such as when a replyToDestinationSelectorName is set (incidentally, Camel will set the alwaysCopyMessage option to true, if a replyToDestinationSelectorName is set).

false

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.artemis-consumer-priority

Consumer priorities allow you to ensure that high priority consumers receive messages while they are active. Normally, active consumers connected to a queue receive messages from it in a round-robin fashion. When consumer priorities are in use, messages are delivered round-robin if multiple active consumers exist with the same high priority. Messages will only going to lower priority consumers when the high priority consumers do not have credit available to consume the message, or those high priority consumers have declined to accept the message (for instance because it does not meet the criteria of any selectors associated with the consumer).

 

Integer

camel.component.amqp.artemis-streaming-enabled

Whether optimizing for Apache Artemis streaming mode. This can reduce memory overhead when using Artemis with JMS StreamMessage types. This option must only be enabled if Apache Artemis is being used.

false

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.async-consumer

Whether the JmsConsumer processes the Exchange asynchronously. If enabled then the JmsConsumer may pickup the next message from the JMS queue, while the previous message is being processed asynchronously (by the Asynchronous Routing Engine). This means that messages may be processed not 100% strictly in order. If disabled (as default) then the Exchange is fully processed before the JmsConsumer picks up the next message from the JMS queue. Note if transacted has been enabled, then asyncConsumer=true does not run asynchronously, as transaction must be executed synchronously (Camel 3.0 may support async transactions).

false

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.async-start-listener

Whether to startup the JmsConsumer message listener asynchronously, when starting a route. For example if a JmsConsumer cannot get a connection to a remote JMS broker, then it may block while retrying and/or failover. This will cause Camel to block while starting routes. By setting this option to true, you will let routes startup, while the JmsConsumer connects to the JMS broker using a dedicated thread in asynchronous mode. If this option is used, then beware that if the connection could not be established, then an exception is logged at WARN level, and the consumer will not be able to receive messages; You can then restart the route to retry.

false

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.async-stop-listener

Whether to stop the JmsConsumer message listener asynchronously, when stopping a route.

false

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.auto-startup

Specifies whether the consumer container should auto-startup.

true

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.autowired-enabled

Whether autowiring is enabled. This is used for automatic autowiring options (the option must be marked as autowired) by looking up in the registry to find if there is a single instance of matching type, which then gets configured on the component. This can be used for automatic configuring JDBC data sources, JMS connection factories, AWS Clients, etc.

true

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.cache-level

Sets the cache level by ID for the underlying JMS resources. See cacheLevelName option for more details.

 

Integer

camel.component.amqp.cache-level-name

Sets the cache level by name for the underlying JMS resources. Possible values are: CACHE_AUTO, CACHE_CONNECTION, CACHE_CONSUMER, CACHE_NONE, and CACHE_SESSION. The default setting is CACHE_AUTO. See the Spring documentation and Transactions Cache Levels for more information.

CACHE_AUTO

String

camel.component.amqp.client-id

Sets the JMS client ID to use. Note that this value, if specified, must be unique and can only be used by a single JMS connection instance. It is typically only required for durable topic subscriptions with JMS 1.1.

 

String

camel.component.amqp.concurrent-consumers

Specifies the default number of concurrent consumers when consuming from JMS (not for request/reply over JMS). See also the maxMessagesPerTask option to control dynamic scaling up/down of threads. When doing request/reply over JMS then the option replyToConcurrentConsumers is used to control number of concurrent consumers on the reply message listener.

1

Integer

camel.component.amqp.configuration

To use a shared JMS configuration. The option is a org.apache.camel.component.jms.JmsConfiguration type.

 

JmsConfiguration

camel.component.amqp.connection-factory

The connection factory to be use. A connection factory must be configured either on the component or endpoint. The option is a javax.jms.ConnectionFactory type.

 

ConnectionFactory

camel.component.amqp.consumer-type

The consumer type to use, which can be one of: Simple, Default, or Custom. The consumer type determines which Spring JMS listener to use. Default will use org.springframework.jms.listener.DefaultMessageListenerContainer, Simple will use org.springframework.jms.listener.SimpleMessageListenerContainer. When Custom is specified, the MessageListenerContainerFactory defined by the messageListenerContainerFactory option will determine what org.springframework.jms.listener.AbstractMessageListenerContainer to use.

 

ConsumerType

camel.component.amqp.correlation-property

When using InOut exchange pattern use this JMS property instead of JMSCorrelationID JMS property to correlate messages. If set messages will be correlated solely on the value of this property JMSCorrelationID property will be ignored and not set by Camel.

 

String

camel.component.amqp.default-task-executor-type

Specifies what default TaskExecutor type to use in the DefaultMessageListenerContainer, for both consumer endpoints and the ReplyTo consumer of producer endpoints. Possible values: SimpleAsync (uses Spring’s SimpleAsyncTaskExecutor) or ThreadPool (uses Spring’s ThreadPoolTaskExecutor with optimal values - cached threadpool-like). If not set, it defaults to the previous behaviour, which uses a cached thread pool for consumer endpoints and SimpleAsync for reply consumers. The use of ThreadPool is recommended to reduce thread trash in elastic configurations with dynamically increasing and decreasing concurrent consumers.

 

DefaultTaskExecutorType

camel.component.amqp.delivery-delay

Sets delivery delay to use for send calls for JMS. This option requires JMS 2.0 compliant broker.

-1

Long

camel.component.amqp.delivery-mode

Specifies the delivery mode to be used. Possible values are those defined by javax.jms.DeliveryMode. NON_PERSISTENT = 1 and PERSISTENT = 2.

 

Integer

camel.component.amqp.delivery-persistent

Specifies whether persistent delivery is used by default.

true

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.destination-resolver

A pluggable org.springframework.jms.support.destination.DestinationResolver that allows you to use your own resolver (for example, to lookup the real destination in a JNDI registry). The option is a org.springframework.jms.support.destination.DestinationResolver type.

 

DestinationResolver

camel.component.amqp.disable-reply-to

Specifies whether Camel ignores the JMSReplyTo header in messages. If true, Camel does not send a reply back to the destination specified in the JMSReplyTo header. You can use this option if you want Camel to consume from a route and you do not want Camel to automatically send back a reply message because another component in your code handles the reply message. You can also use this option if you want to use Camel as a proxy between different message brokers and you want to route message from one system to another.

false

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.disable-time-to-live

Use this option to force disabling time to live. For example when you do request/reply over JMS, then Camel will by default use the requestTimeout value as time to live on the message being sent. The problem is that the sender and receiver systems have to have their clocks synchronized, so they are in sync. This is not always so easy to archive. So you can use disableTimeToLive=true to not set a time to live value on the sent message. Then the message will not expire on the receiver system. See below in section About time to live for more details.

false

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.durable-subscription-name

The durable subscriber name for specifying durable topic subscriptions. The clientId option must be configured as well.

 

String

camel.component.amqp.eager-loading-of-properties

Enables eager loading of JMS properties and payload as soon as a message is loaded which generally is inefficient as the JMS properties may not be required but sometimes can catch early any issues with the underlying JMS provider and the use of JMS properties. See also the option eagerPoisonBody.

false

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.eager-poison-body

If eagerLoadingOfProperties is enabled and the JMS message payload (JMS body or JMS properties) is poison (cannot be read/mapped), then set this text as the message body instead so the message can be processed (the cause of the poison are already stored as exception on the Exchange). This can be turned off by setting eagerPoisonBody=false. See also the option eagerLoadingOfProperties.

Poison JMS message due to $\{exception.message}

String

camel.component.amqp.enabled

Whether to enable auto configuration of the amqp component. This is enabled by default.

 

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.error-handler

Specifies a org.springframework.util.ErrorHandler to be invoked in case of any uncaught exceptions thrown while processing a Message. By default these exceptions will be logged at the WARN level, if no errorHandler has been configured. You can configure logging level and whether stack traces should be logged using errorHandlerLoggingLevel and errorHandlerLogStackTrace options. This makes it much easier to configure, than having to code a custom errorHandler. The option is a org.springframework.util.ErrorHandler type.

 

ErrorHandler

camel.component.amqp.error-handler-log-stack-trace

Allows to control whether stacktraces should be logged or not, by the default errorHandler.

true

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.error-handler-logging-level

Allows to configure the default errorHandler logging level for logging uncaught exceptions.

 

LoggingLevel

camel.component.amqp.exception-listener

Specifies the JMS Exception Listener that is to be notified of any underlying JMS exceptions. The option is a javax.jms.ExceptionListener type.

 

ExceptionListener

camel.component.amqp.explicit-qos-enabled

Set if the deliveryMode, priority or timeToLive qualities of service should be used when sending messages. This option is based on Spring’s JmsTemplate. The deliveryMode, priority and timeToLive options are applied to the current endpoint. This contrasts with the preserveMessageQos option, which operates at message granularity, reading QoS properties exclusively from the Camel In message headers.

false

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.expose-listener-session

Specifies whether the listener session should be exposed when consuming messages.

false

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.force-send-original-message

When using mapJmsMessage=false Camel will create a new JMS message to send to a new JMS destination if you touch the headers (get or set) during the route. Set this option to true to force Camel to send the original JMS message that was received.

false

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.format-date-headers-to-iso8601

Sets whether JMS date properties should be formatted according to the ISO 8601 standard.

false

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.header-filter-strategy

To use a custom org.apache.camel.spi.HeaderFilterStrategy to filter header to and from Camel message. The option is a org.apache.camel.spi.HeaderFilterStrategy type.

 

HeaderFilterStrategy

camel.component.amqp.idle-consumer-limit

Specify the limit for the number of consumers that are allowed to be idle at any given time.

1

Integer

camel.component.amqp.idle-task-execution-limit

Specifies the limit for idle executions of a receive task, not having received any message within its execution. If this limit is reached, the task will shut down and leave receiving to other executing tasks (in the case of dynamic scheduling; see the maxConcurrentConsumers setting). There is additional doc available from Spring.

1

Integer

camel.component.amqp.include-all-jmsx-properties

Whether to include all JMSXxxx properties when mapping from JMS to Camel Message. Setting this to true will include properties such as JMSXAppID, and JMSXUserID etc. Note: If you are using a custom headerFilterStrategy then this option does not apply.

false

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.include-amqp-annotations

Whether to include AMQP annotations when mapping from AMQP to Camel Message. Setting this to true maps AMQP message annotations that contain a JMS_AMQP_MA_ prefix to message headers. Due to limitations in Apache Qpid JMS API, currently delivery annotations are ignored.

false

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.include-sent-jms-message-id

Only applicable when sending to JMS destination using InOnly (eg fire and forget). Enabling this option will enrich the Camel Exchange with the actual JMSMessageID that was used by the JMS client when the message was sent to the JMS destination.

false

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.jms-key-format-strategy

Pluggable strategy for encoding and decoding JMS keys so they can be compliant with the JMS specification. Camel provides two implementations out of the box: default and passthrough. The default strategy will safely marshal dots and hyphens (. and -). The passthrough strategy leaves the key as is. Can be used for JMS brokers which do not care whether JMS header keys contain illegal characters. You can provide your own implementation of the org.apache.camel.component.jms.JmsKeyFormatStrategy and refer to it using the # notation.

 

JmsKeyFormatStrategy

camel.component.amqp.jms-message-type

Allows you to force the use of a specific javax.jms.Message implementation for sending JMS messages. Possible values are: Bytes, Map, Object, Stream, Text. By default, Camel would determine which JMS message type to use from the In body type. This option allows you to specify it.

 

JmsMessageType

camel.component.amqp.lazy-create-transaction-manager

If true, Camel will create a JmsTransactionManager, if there is no transactionManager injected when option transacted=true.

true

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.lazy-start-producer

Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

false

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.map-jms-message

Specifies whether Camel should auto map the received JMS message to a suited payload type, such as javax.jms.TextMessage to a String etc.

true

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.max-concurrent-consumers

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent consumers when consuming from JMS (not for request/reply over JMS). See also the maxMessagesPerTask option to control dynamic scaling up/down of threads. When doing request/reply over JMS then the option replyToMaxConcurrentConsumers is used to control number of concurrent consumers on the reply message listener.

 

Integer

camel.component.amqp.max-messages-per-task

The number of messages per task. -1 is unlimited. If you use a range for concurrent consumers (eg min max), then this option can be used to set a value to eg 100 to control how fast the consumers will shrink when less work is required.

-1

Integer

camel.component.amqp.message-converter

To use a custom Spring org.springframework.jms.support.converter.MessageConverter so you can be in control how to map to/from a javax.jms.Message. The option is a org.springframework.jms.support.converter.MessageConverter type.

 

MessageConverter

camel.component.amqp.message-created-strategy

To use the given MessageCreatedStrategy which are invoked when Camel creates new instances of javax.jms.Message objects when Camel is sending a JMS message. The option is a org.apache.camel.component.jms.MessageCreatedStrategy type.

 

MessageCreatedStrategy

camel.component.amqp.message-id-enabled

When sending, specifies whether message IDs should be added. This is just an hint to the JMS broker. If the JMS provider accepts this hint, these messages must have the message ID set to null; if the provider ignores the hint, the message ID must be set to its normal unique value.

true

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.message-listener-container-factory

Registry ID of the MessageListenerContainerFactory used to determine what org.springframework.jms.listener.AbstractMessageListenerContainer to use to consume messages. Setting this will automatically set consumerType to Custom. The option is a org.apache.camel.component.jms.MessageListenerContainerFactory type.

 

MessageListenerContainerFactory

camel.component.amqp.message-timestamp-enabled

Specifies whether timestamps should be enabled by default on sending messages. This is just an hint to the JMS broker. If the JMS provider accepts this hint, these messages must have the timestamp set to zero; if the provider ignores the hint the timestamp must be set to its normal value.

true

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.password

Password to use with the ConnectionFactory. You can also configure username/password directly on the ConnectionFactory.

 

String

camel.component.amqp.preserve-message-qos

Set to true, if you want to send message using the QoS settings specified on the message, instead of the QoS settings on the JMS endpoint. The following three headers are considered JMSPriority, JMSDeliveryMode, and JMSExpiration. You can provide all or only some of them. If not provided, Camel will fall back to use the values from the endpoint instead. So, when using this option, the headers override the values from the endpoint. The explicitQosEnabled option, by contrast, will only use options set on the endpoint, and not values from the message header.

false

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.priority

Values greater than 1 specify the message priority when sending (where 1 is the lowest priority and 9 is the highest). The explicitQosEnabled option must also be enabled in order for this option to have any effect.

4

Integer

camel.component.amqp.pub-sub-no-local

Specifies whether to inhibit the delivery of messages published by its own connection.

false

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.queue-browse-strategy

To use a custom QueueBrowseStrategy when browsing queues. The option is a org.apache.camel.component.jms.QueueBrowseStrategy type.

 

QueueBrowseStrategy

camel.component.amqp.receive-timeout

The timeout for receiving messages (in milliseconds). The option is a long type.

1000

Long

camel.component.amqp.recovery-interval

Specifies the interval between recovery attempts, i.e. when a connection is being refreshed, in milliseconds. The default is 5000 ms, that is, 5 seconds. The option is a long type.

5000

Long

camel.component.amqp.reply-to

Provides an explicit ReplyTo destination (overrides any incoming value of Message.getJMSReplyTo() in consumer).

 

String

camel.component.amqp.reply-to-cache-level-name

Sets the cache level by name for the reply consumer when doing request/reply over JMS. This option only applies when using fixed reply queues (not temporary). Camel will by default use: CACHE_CONSUMER for exclusive or shared w/ replyToSelectorName. And CACHE_SESSION for shared without replyToSelectorName. Some JMS brokers such as IBM WebSphere may require to set the replyToCacheLevelName=CACHE_NONE to work. Note: If using temporary queues then CACHE_NONE is not allowed, and you must use a higher value such as CACHE_CONSUMER or CACHE_SESSION.

 

String

camel.component.amqp.reply-to-concurrent-consumers

Specifies the default number of concurrent consumers when doing request/reply over JMS. See also the maxMessagesPerTask option to control dynamic scaling up/down of threads.

1

Integer

camel.component.amqp.reply-to-consumer-type

The consumer type of the reply consumer (when doing request/reply), which can be one of: Simple, Default, or Custom. The consumer type determines which Spring JMS listener to use. Default will use org.springframework.jms.listener.DefaultMessageListenerContainer, Simple will use org.springframework.jms.listener.SimpleMessageListenerContainer. When Custom is specified, the MessageListenerContainerFactory defined by the messageListenerContainerFactory option will determine what org.springframework.jms.listener.AbstractMessageListenerContainer to use.

 

ConsumerType

camel.component.amqp.reply-to-delivery-persistent

Specifies whether to use persistent delivery by default for replies.

true

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.reply-to-destination-selector-name

Sets the JMS Selector using the fixed name to be used so you can filter out your own replies from the others when using a shared queue (that is, if you are not using a temporary reply queue).

 

String

camel.component.amqp.reply-to-max-concurrent-consumers

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent consumers when using request/reply over JMS. See also the maxMessagesPerTask option to control dynamic scaling up/down of threads.

 

Integer

camel.component.amqp.reply-to-on-timeout-max-concurrent-consumers

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent consumers for continue routing when timeout occurred when using request/reply over JMS.

1

Integer

camel.component.amqp.reply-to-override

Provides an explicit ReplyTo destination in the JMS message, which overrides the setting of replyTo. It is useful if you want to forward the message to a remote Queue and receive the reply message from the ReplyTo destination.

 

String

camel.component.amqp.reply-to-same-destination-allowed

Whether a JMS consumer is allowed to send a reply message to the same destination that the consumer is using to consume from. This prevents an endless loop by consuming and sending back the same message to itself.

false

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.reply-to-type

Allows for explicitly specifying which kind of strategy to use for replyTo queues when doing request/reply over JMS. Possible values are: Temporary, Shared, or Exclusive. By default Camel will use temporary queues. However if replyTo has been configured, then Shared is used by default. This option allows you to use exclusive queues instead of shared ones. See Camel JMS documentation for more details, and especially the notes about the implications if running in a clustered environment, and the fact that Shared reply queues has lower performance than its alternatives Temporary and Exclusive.

 

ReplyToType

camel.component.amqp.request-timeout

The timeout for waiting for a reply when using the InOut Exchange Pattern (in milliseconds). The default is 20 seconds. You can include the header CamelJmsRequestTimeout to override this endpoint configured timeout value, and thus have per message individual timeout values. See also the requestTimeoutCheckerInterval option. The option is a long type.

20000

Long

camel.component.amqp.request-timeout-checker-interval

Configures how often Camel should check for timed out Exchanges when doing request/reply over JMS. By default Camel checks once per second. But if you must react faster when a timeout occurs, then you can lower this interval, to check more frequently. The timeout is determined by the option requestTimeout. The option is a long type.

1000

Long

camel.component.amqp.selector

Sets the JMS selector to use.

 

String

camel.component.amqp.stream-message-type-enabled

Sets whether StreamMessage type is enabled or not. Message payloads of streaming kind such as files, InputStream, etc will either by sent as BytesMessage or StreamMessage. This option controls which kind will be used. By default BytesMessage is used which enforces the entire message payload to be read into memory. By enabling this option the message payload is read into memory in chunks and each chunk is then written to the StreamMessage until no more data.

false

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.subscription-durable

Set whether to make the subscription durable. The durable subscription name to be used can be specified through the subscriptionName property. Default is false. Set this to true to register a durable subscription, typically in combination with a subscriptionName value (unless your message listener class name is good enough as subscription name). Only makes sense when listening to a topic (pub-sub domain), therefore this method switches the pubSubDomain flag as well.

false

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.subscription-name

Set the name of a subscription to create. To be applied in case of a topic (pub-sub domain) with a shared or durable subscription. The subscription name needs to be unique within this client’s JMS client id. Default is the class name of the specified message listener. Note: Only 1 concurrent consumer (which is the default of this message listener container) is allowed for each subscription, except for a shared subscription (which requires JMS 2.0).

 

String

camel.component.amqp.subscription-shared

Set whether to make the subscription shared. The shared subscription name to be used can be specified through the subscriptionName property. Default is false. Set this to true to register a shared subscription, typically in combination with a subscriptionName value (unless your message listener class name is good enough as subscription name). Note that shared subscriptions may also be durable, so this flag can (and often will) be combined with subscriptionDurable as well. Only makes sense when listening to a topic (pub-sub domain), therefore this method switches the pubSubDomain flag as well. Requires a JMS 2.0 compatible message broker.

false

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.synchronous

Sets whether synchronous processing should be strictly used.

false

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.task-executor

Allows you to specify a custom task executor for consuming messages. The option is a org.springframework.core.task.TaskExecutor type.

 

TaskExecutor

camel.component.amqp.test-connection-on-startup

Specifies whether to test the connection on startup. This ensures that when Camel starts that all the JMS consumers have a valid connection to the JMS broker. If a connection cannot be granted then Camel throws an exception on startup. This ensures that Camel is not started with failed connections. The JMS producers is tested as well.

false

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.time-to-live

When sending messages, specifies the time-to-live of the message (in milliseconds).

-1

Long

camel.component.amqp.transacted

Specifies whether to use transacted mode.

false

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.transacted-in-out

Specifies whether InOut operations (request reply) default to using transacted mode If this flag is set to true, then Spring JmsTemplate will have sessionTransacted set to true, and the acknowledgeMode as transacted on the JmsTemplate used for InOut operations. Note from Spring JMS: that within a JTA transaction, the parameters passed to createQueue, createTopic methods are not taken into account. Depending on the Java EE transaction context, the container makes its own decisions on these values. Analogously, these parameters are not taken into account within a locally managed transaction either, since Spring JMS operates on an existing JMS Session in this case. Setting this flag to true will use a short local JMS transaction when running outside of a managed transaction, and a synchronized local JMS transaction in case of a managed transaction (other than an XA transaction) being present. This has the effect of a local JMS transaction being managed alongside the main transaction (which might be a native JDBC transaction), with the JMS transaction committing right after the main transaction.

false

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.transaction-manager

The Spring transaction manager to use. The option is a org.springframework.transaction.PlatformTransactionManager type.

 

PlatformTransactionManager

camel.component.amqp.transaction-name

The name of the transaction to use.

 

String

camel.component.amqp.transaction-timeout

The timeout value of the transaction (in seconds), if using transacted mode.

-1

Integer

camel.component.amqp.transfer-exception

If enabled and you are using Request Reply messaging (InOut) and an Exchange failed on the consumer side, then the caused Exception will be send back in response as a javax.jms.ObjectMessage. If the client is Camel, the returned Exception is rethrown. This allows you to use Camel JMS as a bridge in your routing - for example, using persistent queues to enable robust routing. Notice that if you also have transferExchange enabled, this option takes precedence. The caught exception is required to be serializable. The original Exception on the consumer side can be wrapped in an outer exception such as org.apache.camel.RuntimeCamelException when returned to the producer. Use this with caution as the data is using Java Object serialization and requires the received to be able to deserialize the data at Class level, which forces a strong coupling between the producers and consumer!.

false

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.transfer-exchange

You can transfer the exchange over the wire instead of just the body and headers. The following fields are transferred: In body, Out body, Fault body, In headers, Out headers, Fault headers, exchange properties, exchange exception. This requires that the objects are serializable. Camel will exclude any non-serializable objects and log it at WARN level. You must enable this option on both the producer and consumer side, so Camel knows the payloads is an Exchange and not a regular payload. Use this with caution as the data is using Java Object serialization and requires the receiver to be able to deserialize the data at Class level, which forces a strong coupling between the producers and consumers having to use compatible Camel versions!.

false

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.use-message-id-as-correlation-id

Specifies whether JMSMessageID should always be used as JMSCorrelationID for InOut messages.

false

Boolean

camel.component.amqp.username

Username to use with the ConnectionFactory. You can also configure username/password directly on the ConnectionFactory.

 

String

camel.component.amqp.wait-for-provision-correlation-to-be-updated-counter

Number of times to wait for provisional correlation id to be updated to the actual correlation id when doing request/reply over JMS and when the option useMessageIDAsCorrelationID is enabled.

50

Integer

camel.component.amqp.wait-for-provision-correlation-to-be-updated-thread-sleeping-time

Interval in millis to sleep each time while waiting for provisional correlation id to be updated. The option is a long type.

100

Long

Chapter 3. Avro

This component provides a dataformat for avro, which allows serialization and deserialization of messages using Apache Avro’s binary dataformat. Since Camel 3.2 rpc functionality was moved into separate camel-avro-rpc component.

You can easily generate classes from a schema, using maven, ant etc. More details can be found at the Apache Avro documentation.

3.1. Dependencies

When using camel-avro with Red Hat build of Camel Spring Boot, add the following Maven dependency to have support for auto configuration:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-avro-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

3.2. Avro Dataformat Options

The Avro dataformat supports 1 options, which are listed below.

Expand
NameDefaultJava TypeDescription

instanceClassName

 

String

Class name to use for marshal and unmarshalling.

3.3. Avro Data Format usage

Using the avro data format is as easy as specifying that the class that you want to marshal or unmarshal in your route.

AvroDataFormat format = new AvroDataFormat(Value.SCHEMA$);

from("direct:in").marshal(format).to("direct:marshal");
from("direct:back").unmarshal(format).to("direct:unmarshal");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Where Value is an Avro Maven Plugin Generated class.

or in XML

    <camelContext id="camel" xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring">
        <route>
            <from uri="direct:in"/>
            <marshal>
                <avro instanceClass="org.apache.camel.dataformat.avro.Message"/>
            </marshal>
            <to uri="log:out"/>
        </route>
    </camelContext>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

An alternative can be to specify the dataformat inside the context and reference it from your route.

    <camelContext id="camel" xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring">
         <dataFormats>
            <avro id="avro" instanceClass="org.apache.camel.dataformat.avro.Message"/>
        </dataFormats>
        <route>
            <from uri="direct:in"/>
            <marshal><custom ref="avro"/></marshal>
            <to uri="log:out"/>
        </route>
    </camelContext>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

In the same manner you can umarshal using the avro data format.

3.4. Spring Boot Auto-Configuration

When using avro with Spring Boot make sure to add the Maven dependency to have support for auto configuration. The component supports 2 options, which are listed below.

Expand
NameDescriptionDefaultType

camel.dataformat.avro.enabled

Chapter 4. Avro Jackson

Jackson Avro is a Data Format which uses the Jackson library with the Avro extension to unmarshal an Avro payload into Java objects or to marshal Java objects into an Avro payload.

Note

If you are familiar with Jackson, this Avro data format behaves in the same way as its JSON counterpart, and thus can be used with classes annotated for JSON serialization/deserialization.

from("kafka:topic").
  unmarshal().avro(AvroLibrary.Jackson, JsonNode.class).
  to("log:info");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

4.1. Dependencies

When using avro-jackson with Red Hat build of Camel Spring Boot make sure to add the Maven dependency to have support for auto configuration.

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-jackson-avro-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

4.2. Configuring the SchemaResolver

Since Avro serialization is schema-based, this data format requires that you provide a SchemaResolver object that is able to lookup the schema for each exchange that is going to be marshalled/unmarshalled.

You can add a single SchemaResolver to the registry and it will be looked up automatically. Or you can explicitly specify the reference to a custom SchemaResolver.

4.3. Avro Jackson Options

The AWS2 Cloudwatch component allows messages to be sent to an Amazon CloudWatch metrics. The implementation of the Amazon API is provided by the AWS SDK.

Prerequisites

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

5.1. Dependencies

When using aws2-cw with Red Hat build of Camel Spring Boot, add the following Maven dependency to your pom.xml to have support for auto configuration:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-aws2-cw-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

5.2. URI Format

aws2-cw://namespace[?options]
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

The metrics will be created if they don’t already exists. You can append query options to the URI in the following format, ?options=value&option2=value&…​

5.3. Configuring Options

Camel components are configured on two separate levels:

  • component level
  • endpoint level

5.3.1. Configuring Component Options

At the component level, you set general and shared configurations that are, then, inherited by the endpoints. It is the highest configuration level. For example, a component may have security settings, credentials for authentication, urls for network connection and so forth. Some components only have a few options, and others may have many. Because components typically have pre-configured defaults that are commonly used, then you may often only need to configure a few options on a component; or none at all.

You can configure components using:

  • the Component DSL.
  • in a configuration file (application.properties, *.yaml files, etc).
  • directly in the Java code.

5.3.2. Configuring Endpoint Options

You usually spend more time setting up endpoints because they have many options. These options help you customize what you want the endpoint to do. The options are also categorized into whether the endpoint is used as a consumer (from), as a producer (to), or both.

Configuring endpoints is most often done directly in the endpoint URI as path and query parameters. You can also use the Endpoint DSL and DataFormat DSL as a type safe way of configuring endpoints and data formats in Java.

A good practice when configuring options is to use Property Placeholders.

Property placeholders provide a few benefits:

  • They help prevent using hardcoded urls, port numbers, sensitive information, and other settings.
  • They allow externalizing the configuration from the code.
  • They help the code to become more flexible and reusable.

The following two sections list all the options, firstly for the component followed by the endpoint.

5.4. Component Options

The AWS CloudWatch component supports 18 options, which are listed below.

NameDescriptionDefaultType

amazonCwClient (producer)

Autowired To use the AmazonCloudWatch as the client.

 

CloudWatchClient

configuration (producer)

Cw2Configuration

lazyStartProducer (producer)

Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

Chapter 7. AWS Kinesis

Both producer and consumer are supported

The AWS2 Kinesis component supports receiving messages from and sending messages to Amazon Kinesis (no Batch supported) service.

The AWS2 Kinesis component also supports Synchronous and Asynchronous Client. So if you need the connection (client) to be async, configure the 'asyncClient' option (can be found in DSL also) as true.

Prerequisites

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

7.1. Dependencies

When using aws2-kinesis Red Hat build of Camel Spring Boot, add the following Maven dependency to your pom.xml to have support for auto configuration:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-aws2-kinesis-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

7.2. URI Format

aws2-kinesis://stream-name[?options]
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

The stream needs to be created prior to it being used. You can append query options to the URI in the following format, ?options=value&option2=value&…​

7.3. Configuring Options

Camel components are configured on two separate levels:

  • component level
  • endpoint level

7.3.1. Configuring Component Options

At the component level, you set general and shared configurations that are, then, inherited by the endpoints. It is the highest configuration level. For example, a component may have security settings, credentials for authentication, urls for network connection and so forth. Some components only have a few options, and others may have many. Because components typically have pre-configured defaults that are commonly used, then you may often only need to configure a few options on a component; or none at all.

You can configure components using:

  • the Component DSL.
  • in a configuration file (application.properties, *.yaml files, etc).
  • directly in the Java code.

7.3.2. Configuring Endpoint Options

You usually spend more time setting up endpoints because they have many options. These options help you customize what you want the endpoint to do. The options are also categorized into whether the endpoint is used as a consumer (from), as a producer (to), or both.

Configuring endpoints is most often done directly in the endpoint URI as path and query parameters. You can also use the Endpoint DSL and DataFormat DSL as a type safe way of configuring endpoints and data formats in Java.

A good practice when configuring options is to use Property Placeholders.

Property placeholders provide a few benefits:

  • They help prevent using hardcoded urls, port numbers, sensitive information, and other settings.
  • They allow externalizing the configuration from the code.
  • They help the code to become more flexible and reusable.

The following two sections list all the options, firstly for the component followed by the endpoint.

7.4. Component Options

The AWS Kinesis component supports 28 options, which are listed below.

7.6. Batch Consumer

This component implements the Batch Consumer.

This allows you for instance to know how many messages exists in this batch and for instance let the Aggregator aggregate this number of messages.

The consumer is able to consume either from a single specific shard or all available shards (multiple shards consumption) of Amazon Kinesis. Therefore, if you leave the 'shardId' property in the DSL configuration empty, then it’ll consume all available shards otherwise only the specified shard corresponding to the shardId will be consumed.

7.7. Usage

7.7.1. Static credentials vs Default Credential Provider

You have the possibility of avoiding the usage of explicit static credentials, by specifying the useDefaultCredentialsProvider option and set it to true.

The order of evaluation for Default Credentials Provider is the following:

  • Java system properties - aws.accessKeyId and aws.secretKey
  • Environment variables - AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY.
  • Web Identity Token from AWS STS.
  • The shared credentials and config files.
  • Amazon ECS container credentials - loaded from the Amazon ECS if the environment variable AWS_CONTAINER_CREDENTIALS_RELATIVE_URI is set.
  • Amazon EC2 Instance profile credentials.

You have also the possibility of using Profile Credentials Provider, by specifying the useProfileCredentialsProvider option to true and profileCredentialsName to the profile name.

Only one of static, default and profile credentials could be used at the same time.

For more information see AWS credentials documentation.

7.8. Message headers

Expand
NameDescription

CamelAwsKinesisSequenceNumber (common)

Constant: SEQUENCE_NUMBER

The sequence number of the record as defined in PutRecord syntax.

CamelAwsKinesisApproximateArrivalTimestamp (common)

Constant: APPROX_ARRIVAL_TIME

The time AWS assigned as the arrival time of the record.

CamelAwsKinesisPartitionKey (common)

Constant: PARTITION_KEY

Identifies which shard in the stream the data record is assigned to.

CamelMessageTimestamp (common)

Constant: MESSAGE_TIMESTAMP

The timestamp of the message.

CamelAwsKinesisShardId (common)

Constant: SHARD_ID

The shard ID of the shard where the data record was place

7.8.1. AmazonKinesis configuration

You then have to reference the KinesisClient in the amazonKinesisClient URI option.

from("aws2-kinesis://mykinesisstream?amazonKinesisClient=#kinesisClient")
  .to("log:out?showAll=true");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

7.8.2. Providing AWS Credentials

It is recommended that the credentials are obtained by using the DefaultAWSCredentialsProviderChain that is the default when creating a new ClientConfiguration instance, however, a different AWSCredentialsProvider can be specified when calling createClient(…​).

7.8.3. AWS Kinesis KCL Consumer

The component supports also the KCL (Kinesis Client Library) for consuming from a Kinesis Data Stream. To enable this feature, set two different parameters in your endpoint:

from("aws2-kinesis://mykinesisstream?asyncClient=true&useDefaultCredentialsProvider=true&useKclConsumers=true")
  .to("log:out?showAll=true");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

This feature makes it possible to automatically checkpoint the Shard Iterations by combining the usage of KCL, DynamoDB Table and CloudWatch alarms. This works out of the box, by simply using your AWS Credentials.

Note

AWS Kinesis consumer with KCL needs approximately 60-70 seconds to startup.

Chapter 8. AWS 2 Lambda

Only producer is supported

The AWS2 Lambda component supports create, get, list, delete and invoke AWS Lambda functions.

Prerequisites

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

When creating a Lambda function, you need to specify a IAM role which has at least the AWSLambdaBasicExecuteRole policy attached.

8.1. Dependencies

When using aws2-lambda with Red Hat build of Camel Spring Boot, add the following Maven dependency to your pom.xml to have support for auto configuration:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-aws2-lambda-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

8.2. URI Format

aws2-lambda://functionName[?options]
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

You can append query options to the URI in the following format, options=value&option2=value&…​

8.3. Configuring Options

Camel components are configured on two separate levels:

  • component level
  • endpoint level

8.3.1. Configuring Component Options

At the component level, you set general and shared configurations that are, then, inherited by the endpoints. It is the highest configuration level. For example, a component may have security settings, credentials for authentication, urls for network connection and so forth. Some components only have a few options, and others may have many. Because components typically have pre-configured defaults that are commonly used, then you may often only need to configure a few options on a component; or none at all.

You can configure components using:

  • the Component DSL.
  • in a configuration file (application.properties, *.yaml files, etc).
  • directly in the Java code.

8.3.2. Configuring Endpoint Options

You usually spend more time setting up endpoints because they have many options. These options help you customize what you want the endpoint to do. The options are also categorized into whether the endpoint is used as a consumer (from), as a producer (to), or both.

Configuring endpoints is most often done directly in the endpoint URI as path and query parameters. You can also use the Endpoint DSL and DataFormat DSL as a type safe way of configuring endpoints and data formats in Java.

A good practice when configuring options is to use Property Placeholders.

Property placeholders provide a few benefits:

  • They help prevent using hardcoded urls, port numbers, sensitive information, and other settings.
  • They allow externalizing the configuration from the code.
  • They help the code to become more flexible and reusable.

The following two sections list all the options, firstly for the component followed by the endpoint.

8.4. Component Options

The AWS Lambda component supports 16 options, which are listed below.

To have a full understanding of how the component works, you may have a look at these integration tests.

8.8.2. Producer Examples

  • CreateFunction: this operation will create a function for you in AWS Lambda
  from("direct:createFunction").to("aws2-lambda://GetHelloWithName?operation=createFunction").to("mock:result");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

and by sending

template.send("direct:createFunction", ExchangePattern.InOut, new Processor() {
    @Override
    public void process(Exchange exchange) throws Exception {
        exchange.getIn().setHeader(Lambda2Constants.RUNTIME, "nodejs6.10");
        exchange.getIn().setHeader(Lambda2Constants.HANDLER, "GetHelloWithName.handler");
        exchange.getIn().setHeader(Lambda2Constants.DESCRIPTION, "Hello with node.js on Lambda");
        exchange.getIn().setHeader(Lambda2Constants.ROLE,
            "arn:aws:iam::643534317684:role/lambda-execution-role");
        ClassLoader classLoader = getClass().getClassLoader();

             classLoader
                 .getResource("org/apache/camel/component/aws2/lambda/function/node/GetHelloWithName.zip")
                 .getFile());
        FileInputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(file);
        exchange.getIn().setBody(inputStream);
    }
});
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

8.9. Using a POJO as body

Sometimes build an AWS Request can be complex, because of multiple options. We introduce the possibility to use a POJO as body. In AWS Lambda there are multiple operations you can submit, as an example for Get Function request, you can do something like:

from("direct:getFunction")
     .setBody(GetFunctionRequest.builder().functionName("test").build())
     .to("aws2-lambda://GetHelloWithName?awsLambdaClient=#awsLambdaClient&operation=getFunction&pojoRequest=true")
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

In this way you’ll pass the request directly without the need of passing headers and options specifically related to this operation.

8.10. Dependencies

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml.

pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-aws2-lambda</artifactId>
    <version>${camel-version}</version>

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

deleteAfterRead (consumer)

Delete objects from S3 after they have been retrieved. The delete is only performed if the Exchange is committed. If a rollback occurs, the object is not deleted. If this option is false, then the same objects will be retrieve over and over again on the polls. Therefore you need to use the Idempotent Consumer EIP in the route to filter out duplicates. You can filter using the AWS2S3Constants#BUCKET_NAME and AWS2S3Constants#KEY headers, or only the AWS2S3Constants#KEY header.

true

false

boolean

includeBody (consumer)

If it is true, the S3Object exchange will be consumed and put into the body and closed. If false the S3Object stream will be put raw into the body and the headers will be set with the S3 object metadata. This option is strongly related to autocloseBody option. In case of setting includeBody to true because the S3Object stream will be consumed then it will also be closed, while in case of includeBody false then it will be up to the caller to close the S3Object stream. However setting autocloseBody to true when includeBody is false it will schedule to close the S3Object stream automatically on exchange completion.

String

lazyStartProducer (producer)

Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

  • listObjects
  • getObject (this will return an S3Object instance)
  • getObjectRange (this will return an S3Object instance)

9.7.5. Advanced AmazonS3 configuration

If your Camel Application is running behind a firewall or if you need to have more control over the S3Client instance configuration, you can create your own instance and refer to it in your Camel aws2-s3 component configuration:

from("aws2-s3://MyBucket?amazonS3Client=#client&delay=5000&maxMessagesPerPoll=5")
.to("mock:result");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

9.7.6. Use KMS with the S3 component

To use AWS KMS to encrypt/decrypt data by using AWS infrastructure you can use the options introduced in 2.21.x like in the following example

from("file:tmp/test?fileName=test.txt")
     .setHeader(S3Constants.KEY, constant("testFile"))
     .to("aws2-s3://mybucket?amazonS3Client=#client&useAwsKMS=true&awsKMSKeyId=3f0637ad-296a-3dfe-a796-e60654fb128c");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

In this way you’ll ask to S3, to use the KMS key 3f0637ad-296a-3dfe-a796-e60654fb128c, to encrypt the file test.txt. When you’ll ask to download this file, the decryption will be done directly before the download.

9.7.7. Static credentials vs Default Credential Provider

You have the possibility of avoiding the usage of explicit static credentials, by specifying the useDefaultCredentialsProvider option and set it to true.

  • Java system properties - aws.accessKeyId and aws.secretKey
  • Environment variables - AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY.
  • Web Identity Token from AWS STS.
  • The shared credentials and config files.
  • Amazon ECS container credentials - loaded from the Amazon ECS if the environment variable AWS_CONTAINER_CREDENTIALS_RELATIVE_URI is set.
  • Amazon EC2 Instance profile credentials.

For more information about this you can look at AWS credentials documentation

9.7.8. S3 Producer Operation examples

  • Single Upload: This operation will upload a file to S3 based on the body content

9.8. Streaming Upload mode

With the stream mode enabled users will be able to upload data to S3 without knowing ahead of time the dimension of the data, by leveraging multipart upload. The upload will be completed when: the batchSize has been completed or the batchMessageNumber has been reached. There are two possible naming strategy:

  • progressive

    With the progressive strategy each file will have the name composed by keyName option and a progressive counter, and eventually the file extension (if any)

  • random.

    With the random strategy a UUID will be added after keyName and eventually the file extension will appended.

As an example:

from(kafka("topic1").brokers("localhost:9092"))
        .log("Kafka Message is: ${body}")
        .to(aws2S3("camel-bucket").streamingUploadMode(true).batchMessageNumber(25).namingStrategy(AWS2S3EndpointBuilderFactory.AWSS3NamingStrategyEnum.progressive).keyName("{{kafkaTopic1}}/{{kafkaTopic1}}.txt"));

from(kafka("topic2").brokers("localhost:9092"))
         .log("Kafka Message is: ${body}")
         .to(aws2S3("camel-bucket").streamingUploadMode(true).batchMessageNumber(25).namingStrategy(AWS2S3EndpointBuilderFactory.AWSS3NamingStrategyEnum.progressive).keyName("{{kafkaTopic2}}/{{kafkaTopic2}}.txt"));
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

The default size for a batch is 1 Mb, but you can adjust it according to your requirements.

When you’ll stop your producer route, the producer will take care of flushing the remaining buffered messaged and complete the upload.

In Streaming upload you’ll be able restart the producer from the point where it left. It’s important to note that this feature is critical only when using the progressive naming strategy.

By setting the restartingPolicy to lastPart, you will restart uploading files and contents from the last part number the producer left.

Example

  1. Start the route with progressive naming strategy and keyname equals to camel.txt, with batchMessageNumber equals to 20, and restartingPolicy equals to lastPart - Send 70 messages.
  2. Stop the route
  3. On your S3 bucket you should now see 4 files: * camel.txt

    • camel-1.txt
    • camel-2.txt
    • camel-3.txt

      The first three will have 20 messages, while the last one only 10.

  4. Restart the route.
  5. Send 25 messages.
  6. Stop the route.
  7. You’ll now have 2 other files in your bucket: camel-5.txt and camel-6.txt, the first with 20 messages and second with 5 messages.
  8. Go ahead

This won’t be needed when using the random naming strategy.

On the opposite you can specify the override restartingPolicy. In that case you’ll be able to override whatever you written before (for that particular keyName) on your bucket.

Note

In Streaming upload mode the only keyName option that will be taken into account is the endpoint option. Using the header will throw an NPE and this is done by design. Setting the header means potentially change the file name on each exchange and this is against the aim of the streaming upload producer. The keyName needs to be fixed and static. The selected naming strategy will do the rest of the of the work.

Another possibility is specifying a streamingUploadTimeout with batchMessageNumber and batchSize options. With this option the user will be able to complete the upload of a file after a certain time passed. In this way the upload completion will be passed on three tiers: the timeout, the number of messages and the batch size.

As an example:

from(kafka("topic1").brokers("localhost:9092"))
        .log("Kafka Message is: ${body}")
        .to(aws2S3("camel-bucket").streamingUploadMode(true).batchMessageNumber(25).streamingUploadTimeout(10000).namingStrategy(AWS2S3EndpointBuilderFactory.AWSS3NamingStrategyEnum.progressive).keyName("{{kafkaTopic1}}/{{kafkaTopic1}}.txt"));
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

In this case the upload will be completed after 10 seconds.

9.9. Bucket Autocreation

With the option autoCreateBucket users are able to avoid the autocreation of an S3 Bucket in case it doesn’t exist. The default for this option is true. If set to false any operation on a not-existent bucket in AWS won’t be successful and an error will be returned.

9.10. Moving stuff between a bucket and another bucket

Some users like to consume stuff from a bucket and move the content in a different one without using the copyObject feature of this component. If this is case for you, don’t forget to remove the bucketName header from the incoming exchange of the consumer, otherwise the file will be always overwritten on the same original bucket.

9.11. MoveAfterRead consumer option

In addition to deleteAfterRead it has been added another option, moveAfterRead. With this option enabled the consumed object will be moved to a target destinationBucket instead of being only deleted. This will require specifying the destinationBucket option. As example:

  from("aws2-s3://mycamelbucket?amazonS3Client=#amazonS3Client&moveAfterRead=true&destinationBucket=myothercamelbucket")
  .to("mock:result");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

In this case the objects consumed will be moved to myothercamelbucket bucket and deleted from the original one (because of deleteAfterRead set to true as default).

You have also the possibility of using a key prefix/suffix while moving the file to a different bucket. The options are destinationBucketPrefix and destinationBucketSuffix.

Taking the above example, you could do something like:

  from("aws2-s3://mycamelbucket?amazonS3Client=#amazonS3Client&moveAfterRead=true&destinationBucket=myothercamelbucket&destinationBucketPrefix=RAW(pre-)&destinationBucketSuffix=RAW(-suff)")
  .to("mock:result");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

In this case the objects consumed will be moved to myothercamelbucket bucket and deleted from the original one (because of deleteAfterRead set to true as default).

So if the file name is test, in the myothercamelbucket you should see a file called pre-test-suff.

9.12. Using customer key as encryption

We introduced also the customer key support (an alternative of using KMS). The following code shows an example.

String key = UUID.randomUUID().toString();
byte[] secretKey = generateSecretKey();
String b64Key = Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(secretKey);
String b64KeyMd5 = Md5Utils.md5AsBase64(secretKey);

String awsEndpoint = "aws2-s3://mycamel?autoCreateBucket=false&useCustomerKey=true&customerKeyId=RAW(" + b64Key + ")&customerKeyMD5=RAW(" + b64KeyMd5 + ")&customerAlgorithm=" + AES256.name();

from("direct:putObject")
    .setHeader(AWS2S3Constants.KEY, constant("test.txt"))
    .setBody(constant("Test"))
    .to(awsEndpoint);
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

9.13. Using a POJO as body

Sometimes build an AWS Request can be complex, because of multiple options. We introduce the possibility to use a POJO as body. In AWS S3 there are multiple operations you can submit, as an example for List brokers request, you can do something like:

from("direct:aws2-s3")
     .setBody(ListObjectsRequest.builder().bucket(bucketName).build())
     .to("aws2-s3://test?amazonS3Client=#amazonS3Client&operation=listObjects&pojoRequest=true")
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

In this way you’ll pass the request directly without the need of passing headers and options specifically related to this operation.

9.14. Create S3 client and add component to registry

Sometimes you would want to perform some advanced configuration using AWS2S3Configuration which also allows to set the S3 client. You can create and set the S3 client in the component configuration as shown in the following example

String awsBucketAccessKey = "your_access_key";
String awsBucketSecretKey = "your_secret_key";

S3Client s3Client = S3Client.builder().credentialsProvider(StaticCredentialsProvider.create(AwsBasicCredentials.create(awsBucketAccessKey, awsBucketSecretKey)))
                .region(Region.US_EAST_1).build();

AWS2S3Configuration configuration = new AWS2S3Configuration();
configuration.setAmazonS3Client(s3Client);
configuration.setAutoDiscoverClient(true);
configuration.setBucketName("s3bucket2020");
configuration.setRegion("us-east-1");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Now you can configure the S3 component (using the configuration object created above) and add it to the registry in the configure method before initialization of routes.

AWS2S3Component s3Component = new AWS2S3Component(getContext());
s3Component.setConfiguration(configuration);
s3Component.setLazyStartProducer(true);
camelContext.addComponent("aws2-s3", s3Component);
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Now your component will be used for all the operations implemented in camel routes.

9.15. Dependencies

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml.

pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-aws2-s3</artifactId>
    <version>${camel-version}</version>
</dependency>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

where {camel-version} must be replaced by the actual version of Camel.

Whether autowiring is enabled. This is used for automatic autowiring options (the option must be marked as autowired) by looking up in the registry to find if there is a single instance of matching type, which then gets configured on the component. This can be used for automatic configuring JDBC data sources, JMS connection factories, AWS Clients, etc.

If it is true, the S3Object exchange will be consumed and put into the body and closed. If false the S3Object stream will be put raw into the body and the headers will be set with the S3 object metadata. This option is strongly related to autocloseBody option. In case of setting includeBody to true because the S3Object stream will be consumed then it will also be closed, while in case of includeBody false then it will be up to the caller to close the S3Object stream. However setting autocloseBody to true when includeBody is false it will schedule to close the S3Object stream automatically on exchange completion.

true

Boolean

By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

false

Boolean

camel.component.aws2-s3.move-after-read

Chapter 10. AWS Simple Notification System (SNS)

Only producer is supported

The AWS2 SNS component allows messages to be sent to an Amazon Simple Notification Topic. The implementation of the Amazon API is provided by the AWS SDK.

Prerequisites

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

10.1. Dependencies

When using aws2-sns with Red Hat build of Camel Spring Boot, add the following Maven dependency to your pom.xml to have support for auto configuration:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-aws2-sns-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

10.2. URI Format

aws2-sns://topicNameOrArn[?options]
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

The topic will be created if they don’t already exists. You can append query options to the URI in the following format,

?options=value&option2=value&…​
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

10.3. Configuring Options

Camel components are configured on two separate levels:

  • component level
  • endpoint level

10.3.1. Configuring Component Options

At the component level, you set general and shared configurations that are, then, inherited by the endpoints. It is the highest configuration level. For example, a component may have security settings, credentials for authentication, urls for network connection and so forth. Some components only have a few options, and others may have many. Because components typically have pre-configured defaults that are commonly used, then you may often only need to configure a few options on a component; or none at all.

You can configure components using:

  • the Component DSL.
  • in a configuration file (application.properties, *.yaml files, etc).
  • directly in the Java code.

10.3.2. Configuring Endpoint Options

You usually spend more time setting up endpoints because they have many options. These options help you customize what you want the endpoint to do. The options are also categorized into whether the endpoint is used as a consumer (from), as a producer (to), or both.

Configuring endpoints is most often done directly in the endpoint URI as path and query parameters. You can also use the Endpoint DSL and DataFormat DSL as a type safe way of configuring endpoints and data formats in Java.

A good practice when configuring options is to use Property Placeholders.

Property placeholders provide a few benefits:

  • They help prevent using hardcoded urls, port numbers, sensitive information, and other settings.
  • They allow externalizing the configuration from the code.
  • They help the code to become more flexible and reusable.

The following two sections list all the options, firstly for the component followed by the endpoint.

10.6. Usage

10.6.1. Static credentials vs Default Credential Provider

You have the possibility of avoiding the usage of explicit static credentials, by specifying the useDefaultCredentialsProvider option and set it to true.

  • Java system properties - aws.accessKeyId and aws.secretKey
  • Environment variables - AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY.
  • Web Identity Token from AWS STS.
  • The shared credentials and config files.
  • Amazon ECS container credentials - loaded from the Amazon ECS if the environment variable AWS_CONTAINER_CREDENTIALS_RELATIVE_URI is set.
  • Amazon EC2 Instance profile credentials.

For more information about this you can look at AWS credentials documentation.

10.6.2. Message headers evaluated by the SNS producer

Expand
HeaderTypeDescription

CamelAwsSnsSubject

String

The Amazon SNS message subject. If not set, the subject from the SnsConfiguration is used.

10.6.3. Message headers set by the SNS producer

Expand
HeaderTypeDescription

CamelAwsSnsMessageId

String

The Amazon SNS message ID.

10.6.4. Advanced AmazonSNS configuration

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

from("direct:start")
.to("aws2-sns://MyTopic?amazonSNSClient=#client");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

The #client refers to a AmazonSNS in the Registry.

10.6.5. Create a subscription between an AWS SNS Topic and an AWS SQS Queue

You can create a subscription of an SQS Queue to an SNS Topic in this way:

from("direct:start")
.to("aws2-sns://test-camel-sns1?amazonSNSClient=#amazonSNSClient&subscribeSNStoSQS=true&queueUrl=https://sqs.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/780410022472/test-camel");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

The #amazonSNSClient refers to a SnsClient in the Registry. By specifying subscribeSNStoSQS to true and a queueUrl of an existing SQS Queue, you’ll be able to subscribe your SQS Queue to your SNS Topic.

At this point you can consume messages coming from SNS Topic through your SQS Queue

from("aws2-sqs://test-camel?amazonSQSClient=#amazonSQSClient&delay=50&maxMessagesPerPoll=5")
    .to(...);
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

10.7. Topic Autocreation

With the option autoCreateTopic users are able to avoid the autocreation of an SNS Topic in case it doesn’t exist. The default for this option is true. If set to false any operation on a not-existent topic in AWS won’t be successful and an error will be returned.

10.8. SNS FIFO

SNS FIFO are supported. While creating the SQS queue you will subscribe to the SNS topic there is an important point to remember, you’ll need to make possible for the SNS Topic to send message to the SQS Queue.

Example

Suppose you created an SNS FIFO Topic called Order.fifo and an SQS Queue called QueueSub.fifo.

In the access Policy of the QueueSub.fifo you should submit something like this:

{
  "Version": "2008-10-17",
  "Id": "__default_policy_ID",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Sid": "__owner_statement",
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
        "AWS": "arn:aws:iam::780560123482:root"
      },
      "Action": "SQS:*",
      "Resource": "arn:aws:sqs:eu-west-1:780560123482:QueueSub.fifo"
    },
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
        "Service": "sns.amazonaws.com"
      },
      "Action": "SQS:SendMessage",
      "Resource": "arn:aws:sqs:eu-west-1:780560123482:QueueSub.fifo",
      "Condition": {
        "ArnLike": {
          "aws:SourceArn": "arn:aws:sns:eu-west-1:780410022472:Order.fifo"
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

This is a critical step to make the subscription work correctly.

10.8.1. SNS Fifo Topic Message group Id Strategy and message Deduplication Id Strategy

When sending something to the FIFO topic you’ll need to always set up a message group Id strategy.

If the content-based message deduplication has been enabled on the SNS Fifo topic, where won’t be the need of setting a message deduplication id strategy, otherwise you’ll have to set it.

10.9. Examples

10.9.1. Producer Examples

Sending to a topic

from("direct:start")
  .to("aws2-sns://camel-topic?subject=The+subject+message&autoCreateTopic=true");

Chapter 11. AWS Simple Queue Service (SQS)

Both producer and consumer are supported

The AWS2 SQS component supports sending and receiving messages to Amazon’s SQS service.

Prerequisites

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

11.1. Dependencies

When using aws2-sqs with Red Hat build of Camel Spring Boot, add the following Maven dependency to your pom.xml to have support for auto configuration:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-aws2-sqs-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

11.2. URI Format

aws2-sqs://queueNameOrArn[?options]
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

The queue will be created if they don’t already exists. You can append query options to the URI in the following format,

?options=value&option2=value&…​

11.3. Configuring Options

Camel components are configured on two separate levels:

  • component level
  • endpoint level

11.3.1. Configuring Component Options

At the component level, you set general and shared configurations that are, then, inherited by the endpoints. It is the highest configuration level. For example, a component may have security settings, credentials for authentication, urls for network connection and so forth. Some components only have a few options, and others may have many. Because components typically have pre-configured defaults that are commonly used, then you may often only need to configure a few options on a component; or none at all.

You can configure components using:

  • the Component DSL.
  • in a configuration file (application.properties, *.yaml files, etc).
  • directly in the Java code.

11.3.2. Configuring Endpoint Options

You usually spend more time setting up endpoints because they have many options. These options help you customize what you want the endpoint to do. The options are also categorized into whether the endpoint is used as a consumer (from), as a producer (to), or both.

Configuring endpoints is most often done directly in the endpoint URI as path and query parameters. You can also use the Endpoint DSL and DataFormat DSL as a type safe way of configuring endpoints and data formats in Java.

A good practice when configuring options is to use Property Placeholders.

Property placeholders provide a few benefits:

  • They help prevent using hardcoded urls, port numbers, sensitive information, and other settings.
  • They allow externalizing the configuration from the code.
  • They help the code to become more flexible and reusable.

The following two sections list all the options, firstly for the component followed by the endpoint.

By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

11.6. Batch Consumer

This component implements the Batch Consumer.

This allows you for instance to know how many messages exists in this batch and for instance let the Aggregator aggregate this number of messages.

11.7. Usage

11.7.1. Static credentials vs Default Credential Provider

You have the possibility of avoiding the usage of explicit static credentials, by specifying the useDefaultCredentialsProvider option and set it to true.

  • Java system properties - aws.accessKeyId and aws.secretKey
  • Environment variables - AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY.
  • Web Identity Token from AWS STS.
  • The shared credentials and config files.
  • Amazon ECS container credentials - loaded from the Amazon ECS if the environment variable AWS_CONTAINER_CREDENTIALS_RELATIVE_URI is set.
  • Amazon EC2 Instance profile credentials.

For more information about this you can look at AWS credentials documentation

11.7.2. Message headers set by the SQS producer

Expand
HeaderTypeDescription

CamelAwsSqsMD5OfBody

String

The MD5 checksum of the Amazon SQS message.

CamelAwsSqsMessageId

String

The Amazon SQS message ID.

CamelAwsSqsDelaySeconds

Integer

The delay seconds that the Amazon SQS message can be see by others.

11.7.3. Message headers set by the SQS consumer

Expand
HeaderTypeDescription

CamelAwsSqsMD5OfBody

String

The MD5 checksum of the Amazon SQS message.

CamelAwsSqsMessageId

String

The Amazon SQS message ID.

CamelAwsSqsReceiptHandle

String

The Amazon SQS message receipt handle.

CamelAwsSqsMessageAttributes

Map<String, String>

The Amazon SQS message attributes.

11.7.4. Advanced AmazonSQS configuration

If your Camel Application is running behind a firewall or if you need to have more control over the SqsClient instance configuration, you can create your own instance:

from("aws2-sqs://MyQueue?amazonSQSClient=#client&delay=5000&maxMessagesPerPoll=5")
.to("mock:result");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

11.7.5. Creating or updating an SQS Queue

In the SQS Component, when an endpoint is started, a check is executed to obtain information about the existence of the queue or not. You’re able to customize the creation through the QueueAttributeName mapping with the SQSConfiguration option.

from("aws2-sqs://MyQueue?amazonSQSClient=#client&delay=5000&maxMessagesPerPoll=5")
.to("mock:result");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

In this example if the MyQueue queue is not already created on AWS (and the autoCreateQueue option is set to true), it will be created with default parameters from the SQS configuration. If it’s already up on AWS, the SQS configuration options will be used to override the existent AWS configuration.

11.7.6. DelayQueue VS Delay for Single message

When the option delayQueue is set to true, the SQS Queue will be a DelayQueue with the DelaySeconds option as delay. For more information about DelayQueue you can read the AWS SQS documentation. One important information to take into account is the following:

  • For standard queues, the per-queue delay setting is not retroactive—changing the setting doesn’t affect the delay of messages already in the queue.
  • For FIFO queues, the per-queue delay setting is retroactive—changing the setting affects the delay of messages already in the queue.

as stated in the official documentation. If you want to specify a delay on single messages, you can ignore the delayQueue option, while you can set this option to true, if you need to add a fixed delay to all messages enqueued.

11.7.7. Server Side Encryption

There is a set of Server Side Encryption attributes for a queue. The related option are serverSideEncryptionEnabled, keyMasterKeyId and kmsDataKeyReusePeriod. The SSE is disabled by default. You need to explicitly set the option to true and set the related parameters as queue attributes.

11.8. JMS-style Selectors

SQS does not allow selectors, but you can effectively achieve this by using the Camel Filter EIP and setting an appropriate visibilityTimeout. When SQS dispatches a message, it will wait up to the visibility timeout before it will try to dispatch the message to a different consumer unless a DeleteMessage is received. By default, Camel will always send the DeleteMessage at the end of the route, unless the route ended in failure. To achieve appropriate filtering and not send the DeleteMessage even on successful completion of the route, use a Filter:

from("aws2-sqs://MyQueue?amazonSQSClient=#client&defaultVisibilityTimeout=5000&deleteIfFiltered=false&deleteAfterRead=false")
.filter("${header.login} == true")
  .setProperty(Sqs2Constants.SQS_DELETE_FILTERED, constant(true))
  .to("mock:filter");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

In the above code, if an exchange doesn’t have an appropriate header, it will not make it through the filter AND also not be deleted from the SQS queue. After 5000 milliseconds, the message will become visible to other consumers.

Note we must set the property Sqs2Constants.SQS_DELETE_FILTERED to true to instruct Camel to send the DeleteMessage, if being filtered.

11.9. Available Producer Operations

  • single message (default)
  • sendBatchMessage
  • deleteMessage
  • listQueues

11.10. Send Message

You can set a SendMessageBatchRequest or an Iterable

from("direct:start")
  .setBody(constant("Camel rocks!"))
  .to("aws2-sqs://camel-1?accessKey=RAW(xxx)&secretKey=RAW(xxx)&region=eu-west-1");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

11.11. Send Batch Message

You can set a SendMessageBatchRequest or an Iterable

from("direct:start")
  .setHeader(SqsConstants.SQS_OPERATION, constant("sendBatchMessage"))
  .process(new Processor() {
      @Override
      public void process(Exchange exchange) throws Exception {
          Collection c = new ArrayList();
          c.add("team1");
          c.add("team2");
          c.add("team3");
          c.add("team4");
          exchange.getIn().setBody(c);
      }
  })
  .to("aws2-sqs://camel-1?accessKey=RAW(xxx)&secretKey=RAW(xxx)&region=eu-west-1");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

As result you’ll get an exchange containing a SendMessageBatchResponse instance, that you can examinate to check what messages were successfull and what not. The id set on each message of the batch will be a Random UUID.

11.12. Delete single Message

Use deleteMessage operation to delete a single message. You’ll need to set a receipt handle header for the message you want to delete.

from("direct:start")
  .setHeader(SqsConstants.SQS_OPERATION, constant("deleteMessage"))
  .setHeader(SqsConstants.RECEIPT_HANDLE, constant("123456"))
  .to("aws2-sqs://camel-1?accessKey=RAW(xxx)&secretKey=RAW(xxx)&region=eu-west-1");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

As result you’ll get an exchange containing a DeleteMessageResponse instance, that you can use to check if the message was deleted or not.

11.13. List Queues

Use listQueues operation to list queues.

from("direct:start")
  .setHeader(SqsConstants.SQS_OPERATION, constant("listQueues"))
  .to("aws2-sqs://camel-1?accessKey=RAW(xxx)&secretKey=RAW(xxx)&region=eu-west-1");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

As result you’ll get an exchange containing a ListQueuesResponse instance, that you can examinate to check the actual queues.

11.14. Purge Queue

Use purgeQueue operation to purge queue.

from("direct:start")
  .setHeader(SqsConstants.SQS_OPERATION, constant("purgeQueue"))
  .to("aws2-sqs://camel-1?accessKey=RAW(xxx)&secretKey=RAW(xxx)&region=eu-west-1");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

As result you’ll get an exchange containing a PurgeQueueResponse instance.

11.15. Queue Autocreation

With the option autoCreateQueue users are able to avoid the autocreation of an SQS Queue in case it doesn’t exist. The default for this option is true. If set to false any operation on a not-existent queue in AWS won’t be successful and an error will be returned.

11.16. Send Batch Message and Message Deduplication Strategy

In case you’re using a SendBatchMessage Operation, you can set two different kind of Message Deduplication Strategy: - useExchangeId - useContentBasedDeduplication

The first one will use a ExchangeIdMessageDeduplicationIdStrategy, that will use the Exchange ID as parameter The other one will use a NullMessageDeduplicationIdStrategy, that will use the body as deduplication element.

In case of send batch message operation, you’ll need to use the useContentBasedDeduplication and on the Queue you’re pointing you’ll need to enable the content based deduplication option.

11.17. Dependencies

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml.

pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-aws2-sqs</artifactId>
    <version>${camel-version}</version>
</dependency>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

where {camel-version} must be replaced by the actual version of Camel.

`?options=value&option2=value&…​`
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

12.3. Configuring Options

Camel components are configured on two separate levels:

  • component level
  • endpoint level

12.3.1. Configuring Component Options

At the component level, you set general and shared configurations that are, then, inherited by the endpoints. It is the highest configuration level. For example, a component may have security settings, credentials for authentication, urls for network connection and so forth. Some components only have a few options, and others may have many. Because components typically have pre-configured defaults that are commonly used, then you may often only need to configure a few options on a component; or none at all.

You can configure components using:

  • the Component DSL.
  • in a configuration file (application.properties, *.yaml files, etc).
  • directly in the Java code.

12.3.2. Configuring Endpoint Options

You usually spend more time setting up endpoints because they have many options. These options help you customize what you want the endpoint to do. The options are also categorized into whether the endpoint is used as a consumer (from), as a producer (to), or both.

Configuring endpoints is most often done directly in the endpoint URI as path and query parameters. You can also use the Endpoint DSL and DataFormat DSL as a type safe way of configuring endpoints and data formats in Java.

A good practice when configuring options is to use Property Placeholders.

Property placeholders provide a few benefits:

  • They help prevent using hardcoded urls, port numbers, sensitive information, and other settings.
  • They allow externalizing the configuration from the code.
  • They help the code to become more flexible and reusable.

The following two sections list all the options, firstly for the component followed by the endpoint.

12.4. Component Options

The AWS Secrets Manager component supports 23 options, which are listed below.

12.5.3. Static credentials, Default Credential Provider and Profile Credentials Provider

You can avoid the usage of explicit static credentials by specifying the useDefaultCredentialsProvider option and setting it to true.

The order of evaluation for Default Credentials Provider is as per the following:

  • Java system properties - aws.accessKeyId and aws.secretKey.
  • Environment variables - AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY.
  • Web Identity Token from AWS STS.
  • The shared credentials and config files.
  • Amazon ECS container credentials - loaded from the Amazon ECS if the environment variable AWS_CONTAINER_CREDENTIALS_RELATIVE_URI is set.
  • Amazon EC2 Instance profile credentials.

You can use the Profile Credentials Provider, by specifying the useProfileCredentialsProvider option to true and profileCredentialsName to the profile name.

Only one of static, default and profile credentials could be used at the same time. For more information about this, see AWS credentials documentation.

12.5.4. Using AWS Secrets Manager Property Function

To use this function, you need to provide credentials to AWS Secrets Manager Service as environment variables:

export CAMEL_VAULT_AWS_ACCESS_KEY=accessKey
export CAMEL_VAULT_AWS_SECRET_KEY=secretKey
export CAMEL_VAULT_AWS_REGION=region
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

You can also configure the credentials in the application.properties file such as:

camel.vault.aws.accessKey = accessKey
camel.vault.aws.secretKey = secretKey
camel.vault.aws.region = region
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

If you want to use the AWS default credentials provider instead, you need to provide the following env variables:

export CAMEL_VAULT_AWS_USE_DEFAULT_CREDENTIALS_PROVIDER=true
export CAMEL_VAULT_AWS_REGION=region
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

You can also configure the credentials in the application.properties file such as:

camel.vault.aws.defaultCredentialsProvider = true
camel.vault.aws.region = region
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

It is also possible to specify a particular profile name for accessing AWS Secrets Manager as follows:

export CAMEL_VAULT_AWS_USE_PROFILE_CREDENTIALS_PROVIDER=true
export CAMEL_VAULT_AWS_PROFILE_NAME=test-account
export CAMEL_VAULT_AWS_REGION=region
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

You can also configure the credentials in the application.properties file such as:

camel.vault.aws.profileCredentialsProvider = true
camel.vault.aws.profileName = test-account
camel.vault.aws.region = region
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
Note

camel.vault.aws configuration only applies to the AWS Secrets Manager properties function (for example, when resolving properties). When using the operation option to create, get, list secrets etc., provide the usual options for connecting to AWS Services.

At this point, you can reference a property in the following way:

<camelContext>
    <route>
        <from uri="direct:start"/>
        <to uri="{{aws:route}}"/>
    </route>
</camelContext>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Where the route will be the name of the secret stored in the AWS Secrets Manager Service.

You could specify a default value in case the secret is not present on AWS Secret Manager:

<camelContext>
    <route>
        <from uri="direct:start"/>
        <to uri="{{aws:route:default}}"/>
    </route>
</camelContext>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

In this case, if the secret doesn’t exist, the property will fall back to "default" as value.

Also, you are able to get a particular field of the secret, if you have, for example, a secret named database of this form:

{
  "username": "admin",
  "password": "password123",
  "engine": "postgres",
  "host": "127.0.0.1",
  "port": "3128",
  "dbname": "db"
}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

You can get a single secret value in your route as follows:

<camelContext>
    <route>
        <from uri="direct:start"/>
        <log message="Username is {{aws:database/username}}"/>
    </route>
</camelContext>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Or re-use the property as part of an endpoint.

You can specify a default value in case the particular field of secret is not present on AWS Secret Manager:

<camelContext>
    <route>
        <from uri="direct:start"/>
        <log message="Username is {{aws:database/username:admin}}"/>
    </route>
</camelContext>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

In this case, if the secret does not exist or the secret exists, but the username field is not part of the secret, the property will fall back to "admin" as its value.

There is also the syntax to get a particular version of the secret for both the approach, with field/default value specified or only with secret:

<camelContext>
    <route>
        <from uri="direct:start"/>
        <to uri="{{aws:route@bf9b4f4b-8e63-43fd-a73c-3e2d3748b451}}"/>
    </route>
</camelContext>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

This approach will return the RAW route secret with the version 'bf9b4f4b-8e63-43fd-a73c-3e2d3748b451'.

<camelContext>
    <route>
        <from uri="direct:start"/>
        <to uri="{{aws:route:default@bf9b4f4b-8e63-43fd-a73c-3e2d3748b451}}"/>
    </route>
</camelContext>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

This approach will return the route secret value with version 'bf9b4f4b-8e63-43fd-a73c-3e2d3748b451' or default value in case the secret doesn’t exist or the version doesn’t exist.

<camelContext>
    <route>
        <from uri="direct:start"/>
        <log message="Username is {{aws:database/username:admin@bf9b4f4b-8e63-43fd-a73c-3e2d3748b451}}"/>
    </route>
</camelContext>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

This approach will return the username field of the database secret with version 'bf9b4f4b-8e63-43fd-a73c-3e2d3748b451' or admin in case the secret doesn’t exist or the version doesn’t exist.

The only requirement is adding the camel-aws-secrets-manager jar to your Camel application.

12.5.5. Automatic Camel context reloading on Secret Refresh

Being able to reload Camel context on a Secret Refresh could be done by specifying the usual credentials (the same used for AWS Secret Manager Property Function).

With Environment variables:

export CAMEL_VAULT_AWS_USE_DEFAULT_CREDENTIALS_PROVIDER=accessKey
export CAMEL_VAULT_AWS_REGION=region
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

or as plain Camel main properties:

camel.vault.aws.useDefaultCredentialProvider = true
camel.vault.aws.region = region
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Or by specifying accessKey/SecretKey and region, instead of using the default credentials provider chain.

To enable the automatic refresh, set the additional properties as follows:

camel.vault.aws.refreshEnabled=true
camel.vault.aws.refreshPeriod=60000
camel.vault.aws.secrets=Secret
camel.main.context-reload-enabled = true
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

where camel.vault.aws.refreshEnabled will enable the automatic context reload, camel.vault.aws.refreshPeriod is the interval of time between two different checks for update events and camel.vault.aws.secrets is a regex representing the secrets we want to track for updates.

Note that camel.vault.aws.secrets is not mandatory. If it is not specified, the task responsible for checking updates events will take it into accounts or the properties with an aws: prefix.

Another option is to use AWS EventBridge in conjunction with the AWS SQS service.

On the AWS side, the following resources need to be created:

  • an AWS Couldtrail trail
  • an AWS SQS Queue
  • an Eventbridge rule of the following kind
{
  "source": ["aws.secretsmanager"],
  "detail-type": ["AWS API Call via CloudTrail"],
  "detail": {
    "eventSource": ["secretsmanager.amazonaws.com"]
  }
}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

This rule will make the event related to AWS Secrets Manager filtered

  • You need to set the a Rule target to the AWS SQS Queue for Eventbridge rule
  • You need to give permission to the Eventbrige rule, to write on the above SQS Queue. For doing this you’ll need to define a json file like this:
{
    "Policy": "{\"Version\":\"2012-10-17\",\"Id\":\"<queue_arn>/SQSDefaultPolicy\",\"Statement\":[{\"Sid\": \"EventsToMyQueue\", \"Effect\": \"Allow\", \"Principal\": {\"Service\": \"events.amazonaws.com\"}, \"Action\": \"sqs:SendMessage\", \"Resource\": \"<queue_arn>\", \"Condition\": {\"ArnEquals\": {\"aws:SourceArn\": \"<eventbridge_rule_arn>\"}}}]}"
}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Change the values for queue_arn and eventbridge_rule_arn and save the file with policy.json name and run the following command with AWS CLI:

aws sqs set-queue-attributes --queue-url <queue_url> --attributes file://policy.json
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

where queue_url is the AWS SQS Queue URL of the just created Queue.

Now you should be able to set up the configuration on the Camel side. To enable the SQS notification add the following properties:

camel.vault.aws.refreshEnabled=true
camel.vault.aws.refreshPeriod=60000
camel.vault.aws.secrets=Secret
camel.main.context-reload-enabled = true
camel.vault.aws.useSqsNotification=true
camel.vault.aws.sqsQueueUrl=<queue_url>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

where queue_url is the AWS SQS Queue URL of the just created Queue.

Whenever an event of PutSecretValue for the Secret named Secret happens, a message will be enqueued in the AWS SQS Queue and consumed on the Camel side and a context reload will be triggered.

Chapter 13. Azure Key Vault

Only producer is supported

The azure-key-vault component that integrates Azure Key Vault.

Prerequisites

You must have a valid Windows Azure Key Vault account. More information is available at Azure Documentation Portal.

13.1. Dependencies

When using camel-azure-key-vault with Red Hat build of Camel Spring Boot, add the following Maven dependency to your pom.xml to have support for auto configuration:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-azure-key-vault-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

13.2. URI Format

azure-key-vault://vaultName[?options]
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

13.3. Configuring Options

Camel components are configured on two separate levels:

  • component level
  • endpoint level

13.3.1. Configuring Component Options

At the component level, you set general and shared configurations that are, then, inherited by the endpoints. It is the highest configuration level. For example, a component may have security settings, credentials for authentication, urls for network connection and so forth. Some components only have a few options, and others may have many. Because components typically have pre-configured defaults that are commonly used, then you may often only need to configure a few options on a component; or none at all.

You can configure components using:

  • the Component DSL.
  • in a configuration file (application.properties, *.yaml files, etc).
  • directly in the Java code.

13.3.2. Configuring Endpoint Options

You usually spend more time setting up endpoints because they have many options. These options help you customize what you want the endpoint to do. The options are also categorized into whether the endpoint is used as a consumer (from), as a producer (to), or both.

Configuring endpoints is most often done directly in the endpoint URI as path and query parameters. You can also use the Endpoint DSL and DataFormat DSL as a type safe way of configuring endpoints and data formats in Java.

A good practice when configuring options is to use Property Placeholders.

Property placeholders provide a few benefits:

  • They help prevent using hardcoded urls, port numbers, sensitive information, and other settings.
  • They allow externalizing the configuration from the code.
  • They help the code to become more flexible and reusable.

The following two sections list all the options, firstly for the component followed by the endpoint.

13.4. Component Options

The Azure Key Vault component supports 2 options, which are listed below.

13.6. Usage

13.6.1. Using Azure Key Vault Property Function

To use this function, you’ll need to provide credentials to Azure Key Vault Service as environment variables:

export $CAMEL_VAULT_AZURE_TENANT_ID=tenantId
export $CAMEL_VAULT_AZURE_CLIENT_ID=clientId
export $CAMEL_VAULT_AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=clientSecret
export $CAMEL_VAULT_AZURE_VAULT_NAME=vaultName
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

You can also configure the credentials in the application.properties file such as:

camel.vault.azure.tenantId = accessKey
camel.vault.azure.clientId = clientId
camel.vault.azure.clientSecret = clientSecret
camel.vault.azure.vaultName = vaultName
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Or you can enable the usage of Azure Identity in the following way:

export $CAMEL_VAULT_AZURE_IDENTITY_ENABLED=true
export $CAMEL_VAULT_AZURE_VAULT_NAME=vaultName
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

You can also enable the usage of Azure Identity in the application.properties file such as:

camel.vault.azure.azureIdentityEnabled = true
camel.vault.azure.vaultName = vaultName
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
Note

camel.vault.azure configuration only applies to the Azure Key Vault properties function (E.g when resolving properties). When using the operation option to create, get, list secrets etc., you should provide the usual options for connecting to Azure Services.

At this point, you’ll be able to reference a property in the following way:

<camelContext>
    <route>
        <from uri="direct:start"/>
        <to uri="{{azure:route}}"/>
    </route>
</camelContext>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Where route will be the name of the secret stored in the Azure Key Vault Service.

You could specify a default value in case the secret is not present on Azure Key Vault Service:

<camelContext>
    <route>
        <from uri="direct:start"/>
        <to uri="{{azure:route:default}}"/>
    </route>
</camelContext>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

In this case, if the secret doesn’t exist, the property will fall back to "default" as value.

Also, you are able to get a particular field of the secret, if you have, for example, a secret named database of this form:

{
  "username": "admin",
  "password": "password123",
  "engine": "postgres",
  "host": "127.0.0.1",
  "port": "3128",
  "dbname": "db"
}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

You’re able to do get single secret value in your route, like for example:

<camelContext>
    <route>
        <from uri="direct:start"/>
        <log message="Username is {{azure:database/username}}"/>
    </route>
</camelContext>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Or re-use the property as part of an endpoint.

You could specify a default value in case the particular field of secret is not present on Azure Key Vault:

<camelContext>
    <route>
        <from uri="direct:start"/>
        <log message="Username is {{azure:database/username:admin}}"/>
    </route>
</camelContext>

In this case, if the secret doesn’t exist or the secret exists, but the username field is not part of the secret, the property will fall back to "admin" as value.

There is also the syntax to get a particular version of the secret for both the approach, with field/default value specified or only with secret:

<camelContext>
    <route>
        <from uri="direct:start"/>
        <to uri="{{azure:route@bf9b4f4b-8e63-43fd-a73c-3e2d3748b451}}"/>
    </route>
</camelContext>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

This approach will return the RAW route secret with the version 'bf9b4f4b-8e63-43fd-a73c-3e2d3748b451'.

<camelContext>
    <route>
        <from uri="direct:start"/>
        <to uri="{{azure:route:default@bf9b4f4b-8e63-43fd-a73c-3e2d3748b451}}"/>
    </route>
</camelContext>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

This approach will return the route secret value with version 'bf9b4f4b-8e63-43fd-a73c-3e2d3748b451' or default value in case the secret doesn’t exist or the version doesn’t exist.

<camelContext>
    <route>
        <from uri="direct:start"/>
        <log message="Username is {{azure:database/username:admin@bf9b4f4b-8e63-43fd-a73c-3e2d3748b451}}"/>
    </route>
</camelContext>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

This approach will return the username field of the database secret with version 'bf9b4f4b-8e63-43fd-a73c-3e2d3748b451' or admin in case the secret doesn’t exist or the version doesn’t exist.

For the moment we are not considering the rotation function if any are applied, but it is in the work to be done.

The only requirement is adding the camel-azure-key-vault jar to your Camel application.

13.6.2. Automatic Camel context reloading on Secret Refresh

Being able to reload Camel context on a Secret Refresh could be done by specifying the usual credentials (the same used for Azure Key Vault Property Function).

With Environment variables:

export $CAMEL_VAULT_AZURE_TENANT_ID=tenantId
export $CAMEL_VAULT_AZURE_CLIENT_ID=clientId
export $CAMEL_VAULT_AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=clientSecret
export $CAMEL_VAULT_AZURE_VAULT_NAME=vaultName
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

or as plain Camel main properties:

camel.vault.azure.tenantId = accessKey
camel.vault.azure.clientId = clientId
camel.vault.azure.clientSecret = clientSecret
camel.vault.azure.vaultName = vaultName
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

If you want to use Azure Identity with environment variables, you can do in the following way:

export $CAMEL_VAULT_AZURE_IDENTITY_ENABLED=true
export $CAMEL_VAULT_AZURE_VAULT_NAME=vaultName
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

You can also enable the usage of Azure Identity in the application.properties file such as:

camel.vault.azure.azureIdentityEnabled = true
camel.vault.azure.vaultName = vaultName
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

To enable the automatic refresh, you’ll need additional properties to set:

camel.vault.azure.refreshEnabled=true
camel.vault.azure.refreshPeriod=60000
camel.vault.azure.secrets=Secret
camel.vault.azure.eventhubConnectionString=eventhub_conn_string
camel.vault.azure.blobAccountName=blob_account_name
camel.vault.azure.blobContainerName=blob_container_name
camel.vault.azure.blobAccessKey=blob_access_key
camel.main.context-reload-enabled = true
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

where camel.vault.azure.refreshEnabled will enable the automatic context reload, camel.vault.azure.refreshPeriod is the interval of time between two different checks for update events and camel.vault.azure.secrets is a regex representing the secrets we want to track for updates.

where camel.vault.azure.eventhubConnectionString is the eventhub connection string to get notification from, camel.vault.azure.blobAccountName, camel.vault.azure.blobContainerName and camel.vault.azure.blobAccessKey are the Azure Storage Blob parameters for the checkpoint store needed by Azure Eventhub.

Note that camel.vault.azure.secrets is not mandatory: if not specified the task responsible for checking updates events will take into accounts or the properties with an azure: prefix.

The only requirement is adding the camel-azure-key-vault jar to your Camel application.

First of all we need to create an application

az ad app create --display-name test-app-key-vault
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Then we need to obtain credentials

az ad app credential reset --id <appId> --append --display-name 'Description: Key Vault app client' --end-date '2024-12-31'
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

This will return a result like this

{
  "appId": "appId",
  "password": "pwd",
  "tenant": "tenantId"
}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

You should take note of the password and use it as clientSecret parameter, together with the clientId and tenantId.

Now create the key vault

az keyvault create --name <vaultName> --resource-group <resourceGroup>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Create a service principal associated with the application Id

az ad sp create --id <appId>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

At this point we need to add a role to the application with role assignment

az role assignment create --assignee <appId> --role "Key Vault Administrator" --scope /subscriptions/<subscriptionId>/resourceGroups/<resourceGroup>/providers/Microsoft.KeyVault/vaults/<vaultName>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Last step is to create policy on what can be or cannot be done with the application. In this case we just want to read the secret value. So This should be enough.

az keyvault set-policy --name <vaultName> --spn <appId> --secret-permissions get
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

You can create a secret through Azure CLI with the following command:

az keyvault secret set --name <secret_name> --vault-name <vaultName> -f <json-secret>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Now we need to setup the Eventhub/EventGrid notification for being informed about secrets updates.

First of all we’ll need a Blob account and Blob container, to track Eventhub consuming activities.

az storage account create --name <blobAccountName> --resource-group <resourceGroup>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Then create a container

az storage container create --account-name <blobAccountName> --name <blobContainerName>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Then recover the access key for this purpose

az storage account keys list -g <resourceGroup> -n <blobAccountName>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Take note of the blob Account name, blob Container name and Blob Access Key to be used for setting up the vault.

Let’s now create the Eventhub side

Create the namespace first

az eventhubs namespace create --resource-group <resourceGroup> --name <eventhub-namespace> --location westus --sku Standard --enable-auto-inflate --maximum-throughput-units 20
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Now create the resource

az eventhubs eventhub create --resource-group <resourceGroup> --namespace-name <eventhub-namespace> --name <eventhub-name> --cleanup-policy Delete --partition-count 15
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

In the Azure portal create a shared policy for the just created eventhub resource with "MANAGE" permissions and copy the connection string.

You now have all the required parameters to set up the vault.

13.9. Spring Boot Auto-Configuration

The component supports 3 options, which are listed below.

Expand
NameDescriptionDefaultType

camel.component.azure-key-vault.autowired-enabled

Whether autowiring is enabled. This is used for automatic autowiring options (the option must be marked as autowired) by looking up in the registry to find if there is a single instance of matching type, which then gets configured on the component. This can be used for automatic configuring JDBC data sources, JMS connection factories, AWS Clients, etc.

true

Boolean

camel.component.azure-key-vault.enabled

Whether to enable auto configuration of the azure-key-vault component. This is enabled by default.

 

Boolean

camel.component.azure-key-vault.lazy-start-producer

Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

Chapter 14. Azure ServiceBus

Since Camel 3.12

Both producer and consumer are supported

The azure-servicebus component that integrates Azure ServiceBus. Azure ServiceBus is a fully managed enterprise integration message broker. Service Bus can decouple applications and services. Service Bus offers a reliable and secure platform for asynchronous transfer of data and state. Data is transferred between different applications and services using messages.

Prerequisites

You must have a valid Windows Azure Storage account. More information is available at Azure Documentation Portal.

14.1. Dependencies

When using azure-servicebus with Red Hat build of Camel Spring Boot, add the following Maven dependency to your pom.xml to have support for auto configuration:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-azure-servicebus-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

14.2. Configuring Options

Camel components are configured on two separate levels:

  • component level
  • endpoint level

14.2.1. Configuring Component Options

At the component level, you set general and shared configurations that are, then, inherited by the endpoints. It is the highest configuration level. For example, a component may have security settings, credentials for authentication, urls for network connection and so forth. Some components only have a few options, and others may have many. Because components typically have pre-configured defaults that are commonly used, then you may often only need to configure a few options on a component; or none at all.

You can configure components using:

  • the Component DSL.
  • in a configuration file (application.properties, *.yaml files, etc).
  • directly in the Java code.

14.2.2. Configuring Endpoint Options

You usually spend more time setting up endpoints because they have many options. These options help you customize what you want the endpoint to do. The options are also categorized into whether the endpoint is used as a consumer (from), as a producer (to), or both.

Configuring endpoints is most often done directly in the endpoint URI as path and query parameters. You can also use the Endpoint DSL and DataFormat DSL as a type safe way of configuring endpoints and data formats in Java.

A good practice when configuring options is to use Property Placeholders.

Property placeholders provide a few benefits:

  • They help prevent using hardcoded urls, port numbers, sensitive information, and other settings.
  • They allow externalizing the configuration from the code.
  • They help the code to become more flexible and reusable.

The following two sections list all the options, firstly for the component followed by the endpoint.

14.3. Component Options

14.7. Spring Boot Auto-Configuration

The component supports 26 options, which are listed below.

Expand
NameDescriptionDefaultType

camel.component.azure-servicebus.amqp-retry-options

Sets the retry options for Service Bus clients. If not specified, the default retry options are used. The option is a com.azure.core.amqp.AmqpRetryOptions type.

 

AmqpRetryOptions

camel.component.azure-servicebus.amqp-transport-type

Sets the transport type by which all the communication with Azure Service Bus occurs. Default value is AmqpTransportType#AMQP.

 

AmqpTransportType

camel.component.azure-servicebus.autowired-enabled

Whether autowiring is enabled. This is used for automatic autowiring options (the option must be marked as autowired) by looking up in the registry to find if there is a single instance of matching type, which then gets configured on the component. This can be used for automatic configuring JDBC data sources, JMS connection factories, AWS Clients, etc.

true

Boolean

camel.component.azure-servicebus.bridge-error-handler

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

camel.component.azure-servicebus.client-options

Sets the ClientOptions to be sent from the client built from this builder, enabling customization of certain properties, as well as support the addition of custom header information. Refer to the ClientOptions documentation for more information. The option is a com.azure.core.util.ClientOptions type.

 

ClientOptions

camel.component.azure-servicebus.configuration

The component configurations. The option is a org.apache.camel.component.azure.servicebus.ServiceBusConfiguration type.

String

camel.component.azure-servicebus.consumer-operation

Sets the desired operation to be used in the consumer.

 

ServiceBusConsumerOperationDefinition

camel.component.azure-servicebus.disable-auto-complete

Disables auto-complete and auto-abandon of received messages. By default, a successfully processed message is \\{link ServiceBusReceiverAsyncClient#complete(ServiceBusReceivedMessage) completed}. If an error happens when the message is processed, it is \\{link ServiceBusReceiverAsyncClient#abandon(ServiceBusReceivedMessage) abandoned}.

false

Boolean

camel.component.azure-servicebus.enabled

Whether to enable auto configuration of the azure-servicebus component. This is enabled by default.

 

Boolean

camel.component.azure-servicebus.fully-qualified-namespace

Fully Qualified Namespace of the service bus.

 

String

camel.component.azure-servicebus.lazy-start-producer

Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

false

Boolean

camel.component.azure-servicebus.max-auto-lock-renew-duration

Sets the amount of time to continue auto-renewing the lock. Setting Duration#ZERO or null disables auto-renewal. For \\{link ServiceBusReceiveMode#RECEIVE_AND_DELETE RECEIVE_AND_DELETE} mode, auto-renewal is disabled. The option is a java.time.Duration type.

For both \\{link ServiceBusReceiveMode#PEEK_LOCK PEEK_LOCK} and \\{link ServiceBusReceiveMode#RECEIVE_AND_DELETE RECEIVE_AND_DELETE} modes the default value is 1. Prefetch speeds up the message flow by aiming to have a message readily available for local retrieval when and before the application asks for one using ServiceBusReceiverAsyncClient#receiveMessages(). Setting a non-zero value will prefetch that number of messages. Setting the value to zero turns prefetch off.

 

Integer

camel.component.azure-servicebus.producer-operation

Sets the desired operation to be used in the producer.

Chapter 15. Azure Storage Blob Service

Both producer and consumer are supported

The Azure Storage Blob component is used for storing and retrieving blobs from Azure Storage Blob Service using Azure APIs v12. However in case of versions above v12, we will see if this component can adopt these changes depending on how much breaking changes can result.

Prerequisites

You must have a valid Windows Azure Storage account. More information is available at Azure Documentation Portal .

15.1. Dependencies

When using azure-storage-blob with Red Hat build of Camel Spring Boot, add the following Maven dependency to your pom.xml to have support for auto configuration:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-azure-storage-blob-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

15.2. URI Format

azure-storage-blob://accountName[/containerName][?options]
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

In case of consumer, accountName, containerName are required. In case of producer, it depends on the operation that being requested, for example if operation is on a container level, for example, createContainer, accountName and containerName are only required, but in case of operation being requested in blob level, for example, getBlob, accountName, containerName and blobName are required.

The blob will be created if it does not already exist. You can append query options to the URI in the following format,

?options=value&option2=value&…

15.3. Configuring Options

Camel components are configured on two separate levels:

  • component level
  • endpoint level

15.3.1. Configuring Component Options

At the component level, you set general and shared configurations that are, then, inherited by the endpoints. It is the highest configuration level. For example, a component may have security settings, credentials for authentication, urls for network connection and so forth. Some components only have a few options, and others may have many. Because components typically have pre-configured defaults that are commonly used, then you may often only need to configure a few options on a component; or none at all.

You can configure components using:

  • the Component DSL.
  • in a configuration file (application.properties, *.yaml files, etc).
  • directly in the Java code.

15.3.2. Configuring Endpoint Options

You usually spend more time setting up endpoints because they have many options. These options help you customize what you want the endpoint to do. The options are also categorized into whether the endpoint is used as a consumer (from), as a producer (to), or both.

Configuring endpoints is most often done directly in the endpoint URI as path and query parameters. You can also use the Endpoint DSL and DataFormat DSL as a type safe way of configuring endpoints and data formats in Java.

A good practice when configuring options is to use Property Placeholders.

Property placeholders provide a few benefits:

  • They help prevent using hardcoded urls, port numbers, sensitive information, and other settings.
  • They allow externalizing the configuration from the code.
  • They help the code to become more flexible and reusable.

The following two sections list all the options, firstly for the component followed by the endpoint.

Required information options

To use this component, you have 3 options in order to provide the required Azure authentication information:

  • Provide a link: BlobServiceClient instance which can be injected into blobServiceClient. Note: No need to create a specific client, for Examples: BlockBlobClient, the BlobServiceClient represents the upper level which can be used to retrieve lower level clients.
  • Provide an Azure Identity, when specifying credentialType=AZURE_IDENTITY and providing required environment variables. This enables service principal (for example, app registration) authentication with secret/certificate as well as username password. Note that this is the default authentication strategy.
  • Provide a shared storage account key, when specifying credentialType=SHARED_ACCOUNT_KEY and providing accountName and accessKey for your Azure account, this is the simplest way to get started. The accessKey can be generated through your Azure portal.
  • Provide a shared storage account key, when specifying credentialType=SHARED_KEY_CREDENTIAL and providing a StorageSharedKeyCredential instance which can be injected into credentials option.
  • Via Azure SAS, when specifying credentialType=AZURE_SAS and providing a SAS Token parameter through the sasToken parameter.

15.6. Usage

For example, in order to download a blob content from the block blob hello.txt located on the container1 in the camelazure storage account, use the following snippet:

from("azure-storage-blob://camelazure/container1?blobName=hello.txt&credentialType=SHARED_ACCOUNT_KEY&accessKey=RAW(yourAccessKey)").to("file://blobdirectory");

15.6.3. Advanced Azure Storage Blob configuration

If your Camel Application is running behind a firewall or if you need to have more control over the BlobServiceClient instance configuration, you can create your own instance:

StorageSharedKeyCredential credential = new StorageSharedKeyCredential("yourAccountName", "yourAccessKey");
String uri = String.format("https://%s.blob.core.windows.net", "yourAccountName");

BlobServiceClient client = new BlobServiceClientBuilder()
                          .endpoint(uri)
                          .credential(credential)
                          .buildClient();
// This is camel context
context.getRegistry().bind("client", client);
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Then refer to this instance in your Camel azure-storage-blob component configuration:

from("azure-storage-blob://cameldev/container1?blobName=myblob&serviceClient=#client")
.to("mock:result");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

15.6.4. Automatic detection of BlobServiceClient client in registry

The component is capable of detecting the presence of an BlobServiceClient bean into the registry. If it’s the only instance of that type it will be used as client and you won’t have to define it as uri parameter, like the example above. This may be really useful for smarter configuration of the endpoint.

15.6.5. Azure Storage Blob Producer operations

Camel Azure Storage Blob component provides wide range of operations on the producer side:

Operations on the service level

For these operations, accountName is required.

Expand
OperationDescription

listBlobContainers

Get the content of the blob. You can restrict the output of this operation to a blob range.

getChangeFeed

Returns transaction logs of all the changes that occur to the blobs and the blob metadata in your storage account. The change feed provides ordered, guaranteed, durable, immutable, read-only log of these changes.

Operations on the container level

For these operations, accountName and containerName are required.

Expand
OperationDescription

createBlobContainer

Creates a new container within a storage account. If a container with the same name already exists, the producer will ignore it.

deleteBlobContainer

Deletes the specified container in the storage account. If the container doesn’t exist the operation fails.

listBlobs

Returns a list of blobs in this container, with folder structures flattened.

Operations on the blob level

For these operations, accountName, containerName and blobName are required.

Expand
OperationBlob TypeDescription

getBlob

Common

Get the content of the blob. You can restrict the output of this operation to a blob range.

deleteBlob

Common

Delete a blob.

downloadBlobToFile

Common

Downloads the entire blob into a file specified by the path.The file will be created and must not exist, if the file already exists a {@link FileAlreadyExistsException} will be thrown.

downloadLink

Common

Generates the download link for the specified blob using shared access signatures (SAS). This by default only limit to 1hour of allowed access. However, you can override the default expiration duration through the headers.

uploadBlockBlob

BlockBlob

Creates a new block blob, or updates the content of an existing block blob. Updating an existing block blob overwrites any existing metadata on the blob. Partial updates are not supported with PutBlob; the content of the existing blob is overwritten with the new content.

stageBlockBlobList

BlockBlob

Uploads the specified block to the block blob’s "staging area" to be later committed by a call to commitBlobBlockList. However in case header CamelAzureStorageBlobCommitBlobBlockListLater or config commitBlockListLater is set to false, this will commit the blocks immediately after staging the blocks.

commitBlobBlockList

BlockBlob

Writes a blob by specifying the list of block IDs that are to make up the blob. In order to be written as part of a blob, a block must have been successfully written to the server in a prior stageBlockBlobList operation. You can call commitBlobBlockList to update a blob by uploading only those blocks that have changed, then committing the new and existing blocks together. Any blocks not specified in the block list and permanently deleted.

getBlobBlockList

BlockBlob

Returns the list of blocks that have been uploaded as part of a block blob using the specified block list filter.

createAppendBlob

AppendBlob

Creates a 0-length append blob. Call commitAppendBlo`b operation to append data to an append blob.

commitAppendBlob

AppendBlob

Commits a new block of data to the end of the existing append blob. In case of header CamelAzureStorageBlobCreateAppendBlob or config createAppendBlob is set to true, it will attempt to create the appendBlob through internal call to createAppendBlob operation first before committing.

createPageBlob

PageBlob

Creates a page blob of the specified length. Call uploadPageBlob operation to upload data data to a page blob.

uploadPageBlob

PageBlob

Writes one or more pages to the page blob. The write size must be a multiple of 512. In case of header CamelAzureStorageBlobCreatePageBlob or config createPageBlob is set to true, it will attempt to create the appendBlob through internal call to createPageBlob operation first before uploading.

resizePageBlob

PageBlob

Resizes the page blob to the specified size (which must be a multiple of 512).

clearPageBlob

PageBlob

Frees the specified pages from the page blob. The size of the range must be a multiple of 512.

getPageBlobRanges

PageBlob

Returns the list of valid page ranges for a page blob or snapshot of a page blob.

copyBlob

Common

Copy a blob from one container to another one, even from different accounts.

Refer to the example section in this page to learn how to use these operations into your camel application.

15.6.6. Consumer Examples

To consume a blob into a file using file component, this can be done like this:

from("azure-storage-blob://camelazure/container1?blobName=hello.txt&accountName=yourAccountName&accessKey=yourAccessKey").
to("file://blobdirectory");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

However, you can also write to file directly without using the file component, you will need to specify fileDir folder path in order to save your blob in your machine.

from("azure-storage-blob://camelazure/container1?blobName=hello.txt&accountName=yourAccountName&accessKey=yourAccessKey&fileDir=/var/to/awesome/dir").
to("mock:results");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Also, the component supports batch consumer, hence you can consume multiple blobs with only specifying the container name, the consumer will return multiple exchanges depending on the number of the blobs in the container.

Example

from("azure-storage-blob://camelazure/container1?accountName=yourAccountName&accessKey=yourAccessKey&fileDir=/var/to/awesome/dir").
to("mock:results");

  .process(exchange -> {
    // set the header you want the producer to evaluate, refer to the previous
    // section to learn about the headers that can be set
    // e.g:

15.6.8. SAS Token generation example

SAS Blob Container tokens can be generated programmatically or via Azure UI. To generate the token with java code, the following can be done:

BlobContainerClient blobClient = new BlobContainerClientBuilder()
            .endpoint(String.format("https://%s.blob.core.windows.net/%s", accountName, accessKey))
            .containerName(containerName)
            .credential(new StorageSharedKeyCredential(accountName, accessKey))
            .buildClient();

        // Create a SAS token that's valid for 1 day, as an example
        OffsetDateTime expiryTime = OffsetDateTime.now().plusDays(1);

        // Assign permissions to the SAS token
        BlobContainerSasPermission blobContainerSasPermission = new BlobContainerSasPermission()
            .setWritePermission(true)
            .setListPermission(true)
            .setCreatePermission(true)
            .setDeletePermission(true)
            .setAddPermission(true)
            .setReadPermission(true);

        BlobServiceSasSignatureValues sasSignatureValues = new BlobServiceSasSignatureValues(expiryTime, blobContainerSasPermission);

        return blobClient.generateSas(sasSignatureValues);

Chapter 16. Azure Storage Queue Service

Both producer and consumer are supported

The Azure Storage Queue component supports storing and retrieving the messages to/from Azure Storage Queue service using Azure APIs v12. However in case of versions above v12, we will see if this component can adopt these changes depending on how much breaking changes can result.

Prerequisites

You must have a valid Windows Azure Storage account. More information is available at Azure Documentation Portal.

16.1. Dependencies

When using azure-storage-queue with Red Hat build of Camel Spring Boot, add the following Maven dependency to your pom.xml to have support for auto configuration:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-azure-storage-queue-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

16.2. URI Format

azure-storage-queue://accountName[/queueName][?options]
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

In case of consumer, accountName and queueName are required. In case of producer, it depends on the operation that being requested, for example if operation is on a service level, e.b: listQueues, only accountName is required, but in case of operation being requested on the queue level, for example, createQueue, sendMessage.. etc, both accountName and queueName are required.

The queue will be created if it does not already exist. You can append query options to the URI in the following format,

?options=value&option2=value&…

16.3. Configuring Options

Camel components are configured on two separate levels:

  • component level
  • endpoint level

16.3.1. Configuring Component Options

At the component level, you set general and shared configurations that are, then, inherited by the endpoints. It is the highest configuration level. For example, a component may have security settings, credentials for authentication, urls for network connection and so forth. Some components only have a few options, and others may have many. Because components typically have pre-configured defaults that are commonly used, then you may often only need to configure a few options on a component; or none at all.

You can configure components using:

  • the Component DSL.
  • in a configuration file (application.properties, *.yaml files, etc).
  • directly in the Java code.

16.3.2. Configuring Endpoint Options

You usually spend more time setting up endpoints because they have many options. These options help you customize what you want the endpoint to do. The options are also categorized into whether the endpoint is used as a consumer (from), as a producer (to), or both.

Configuring endpoints is most often done directly in the endpoint URI as path and query parameters. You can also use the Endpoint DSL and DataFormat DSL as a type safe way of configuring endpoints and data formats in Java.

A good practice when configuring options is to use Property Placeholders.

Property placeholders provide a few benefits:

  • They help prevent using hardcoded urls, port numbers, sensitive information, and other settings.
  • They allow externalizing the configuration from the code.
  • They help the code to become more flexible and reusable.

The following two sections list all the options, firstly for the component followed by the endpoint.

16.4. Component Options

The Azure Storage Queue Service component supports 15 options, which are listed below.

16.6.3. Advanced Azure Storage Queue configuration

If your Camel Application is running behind a firewall or if you need to have more control over the QueueServiceClient instance configuration, you can create your own instance:

StorageSharedKeyCredential credential = new StorageSharedKeyCredential("yourAccountName", "yourAccessKey");
String uri = String.format("https://%s.queue.core.windows.net", "yourAccountName");

QueueServiceClient client = new QueueServiceClientBuilder()
                          .endpoint(uri)
                          .credential(credential)
                          .buildClient();
// This is camel context
context.getRegistry().bind("client", client);
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Then refer to this instance in your Camel azure-storage-queue component configuration:

from("azure-storage-queue://cameldev/queue1?serviceClient=#client")
.to("file://outputFolder?fileName=output.txt&fileExist=Append");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

16.6.4. Automatic detection of QueueServiceClient client in registry

The component is capable of detecting the presence of an QueueServiceClient bean into the registry. If it’s the only instance of that type it will be used as client and you won’t have to define it as uri parameter, like the example above. This may be really useful for smarter configuration of the endpoint.

16.6.5. Azure Storage Queue Producer operations

Camel Azure Storage Queue component provides wide range of operations on the producer side:

Operations on the service level

For these operations, accountName is required.

Expand
OperationDescription

listQueues

Lists the queues in the storage account that pass the filter starting at the specified marker.

Operations on the queue level

For these operations, accountName and queueName are required.

Expand
OperationDescription

createQueue

Creates a new queue.

deleteQueue

Permanently deletes the queue.

clearQueue

Deletes all messages in the queue..

sendMessage

Default Producer Operation Sends a message with a given time-to-live and a timeout period where the message is invisible in the queue. The message text is evaluated from the exchange message body. By default, if the queue doesn`t exist, it will create an empty queue first. If you want to disable this, set the config createQueue or header CamelAzureStorageQueueCreateQueue to false.

deleteMessage

Deletes the specified message in the queue.

receiveMessages

Retrieves up to the maximum number of messages from the queue and hides them from other operations for the timeout period. However it will not dequeue the message from the queue due to reliability reasons.

peekMessages

Peek messages from the front of the queue up to the maximum number of messages.

updateMessage

Updates the specific message in the queue with a new message and resets the visibility timeout. The message text is evaluated from the exchange message body.

Refer to the example section in this page to learn how to use these operations into your camel application.

16.6.6. Consumer Examples

To consume a queue into a file component with maximum 5 messages in one batch, this can be done like this:

from("azure-storage-queue://cameldev/queue1?serviceClient=#client&maxMessages=5")
.to("file://outputFolder?fileName=output.txt&fileExist=Append");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

16.6.7. Producer Operations Examples

  • listQueues:
from("direct:start")
    .process(exchange -> {
      // set the header you want the producer to evaluate, refer to the previous
      // section to learn about the headers that can be set
      // e.g, to only returns list of queues with 'awesome' prefix:
      exchange.getIn().setHeader(QueueConstants.QUEUES_SEGMENT_OPTIONS, new QueuesSegmentOptions().setPrefix("awesome"));
     })
    .to("azure-storage-queue://cameldev?serviceClient=#client&operation=listQueues")

16.6.8. Development Notes (Important)

When developing on this component, you will need to obtain your Azure accessKey in order to run the integration tests. In addition to the mocked unit tests you will need to run the integration tests with every change you make or even client upgrade as the Azure client can break things even on minor versions upgrade. To run the integration tests, on this component directory, run the following maven command:

mvn verify -PfullTests -DaccountName=myacc -DaccessKey=mykey
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Whereby accountName is your Azure account name and accessKey is the access key being generated from Azure portal.

16.7. Spring Boot Auto-Configuration

The component supports 16 options, which are listed below.

Expand
NameDescriptionDefaultType

camel.component.azure-storage-queue.access-key

Access key for the associated azure account name to be used for authentication with azure queue services.

 

String

camel.component.azure-storage-queue.autowired-enabled

Whether autowiring is enabled. This is used for automatic autowiring options (the option must be marked as autowired) by looking up in the registry to find if there is a single instance of matching type, which then gets configured on the component. This can be used for automatic configuring JDBC data sources, JMS connection factories, AWS Clients, etc.

true

Boolean

camel.component.azure-storage-queue.bridge-error-handler

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

camel.component.azure-storage-queue.configuration

The component configurations. The option is a org.apache.camel.component.azure.storage.queue.QueueConfiguration type.

 

QueueConfiguration

camel.component.azure-storage-queue.create-queue

When is set to true, the queue will be automatically created when sending messages to the queue.

false

Boolean

camel.component.azure-storage-queue.credentials

StorageSharedKeyCredential can be injected to create the azure client, this holds the important authentication information. The option is a com.azure.storage.common.StorageSharedKeyCredential type.

 

StorageSharedKeyCredential

camel.component.azure-storage-queue.enabled

Whether to enable auto configuration of the azure-storage-queue component. This is enabled by default.

 

Boolean

camel.component.azure-storage-queue.lazy-start-producer

Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

false

Boolean

camel.component.azure-storage-queue.max-messages

Maximum number of messages to get, if there are less messages exist in the queue than requested all the messages will be returned. If left empty only 1 message will be retrieved, the allowed range is 1 to 32 messages.

1

Integer

camel.component.azure-storage-queue.message-id

The ID of the message to be deleted or updated.

 

String

camel.component.azure-storage-queue.operation

Queue service operation hint to the producer.

 

QueueOperationDefinition

camel.component.azure-storage-queue.pop-receipt

Unique identifier that must match for the message to be deleted or updated.

 

String

camel.component.azure-storage-queue.service-client

Service client to a storage account to interact with the queue service. This client does not hold any state about a particular storage account but is instead a convenient way of sending off appropriate requests to the resource on the service. This client contains all the operations for interacting with a queue account in Azure Storage. Operations allowed by the client are creating, listing, and deleting queues, retrieving and updating properties of the account, and retrieving statistics of the account. The option is a com.azure.storage.queue.QueueServiceClient type.

 

QueueServiceClient

camel.component.azure-storage-queue.time-to-live

How long the message will stay alive in the queue. If unset the value will default to 7 days, if -1 is passed the message will not expire. The time to live must be -1 or any positive number. The format should be in this form: PnDTnHnMn.nS., e.g: PT20.345S — parses as 20.345 seconds, P2D — parses as 2 days However, in case you are using EndpointDsl/ComponentDsl, you can do something like Duration.ofSeconds() since these Java APIs are typesafe. The option is a java.time.Duration type.

 

Duration

camel.component.azure-storage-queue.timeout

An optional timeout applied to the operation. If a response is not returned before the timeout concludes a RuntimeException will be thrown. The option is a java.time.Duration type.

 

Duration

camel.component.azure-storage-queue.visibility-timeout

The timeout period for how long the message is invisible in the queue. The timeout must be between 1 seconds and 7 days. The format should be in this form: PnDTnHnMn.nS., e.g: PT20.345S — parses as 20.345 seconds, P2D — parses as 2 days However, in case you are using EndpointDsl/ComponentDsl, you can do something like Duration.ofSeconds() since these Java APIs are typesafe.

Chapter 17. Bean

Only producer is supported

The Bean component binds beans to Camel message exchanges.

17.1. Dependencies

When using bean with Red Hat build of Camel Spring Boot make sure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for auto configuration:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-bean-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

17.2. URI format

bean:beanName[?options]
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Where beanID can be any string which is used to look up the bean in the Registry

17.3. Configuring Options

Camel components are configured on two separate levels:

  • component level
  • endpoint level

17.3.1. Configuring Component Options

At the component level, you set general and shared configurations that are, then, inherited by the endpoints. It is the highest configuration level. For example, a component may have security settings, credentials for authentication, urls for network connection and so forth. Some components only have a few options, and others may have many. Because components typically have pre-configured defaults that are commonly used, then you may often only need to configure a few options on a component; or none at all.

You can configure components using:

  • the Component DSL.
  • in a configuration file (application.properties, *.yaml files, etc).
  • directly in the Java code.

17.3.2. Configuring Endpoint Options

You usually spend more time setting up endpoints because they have many options. These options help you customize what you want the endpoint to do. The options are also categorized into whether the endpoint is used as a consumer (from), as a producer (to), or both.

Configuring endpoints is most often done directly in the endpoint URI as path and query parameters. You can also use the Endpoint DSL and DataFormat DSL as a type safe way of configuring endpoints and data formats in Java.

A good practice when configuring options is to use Property Placeholders.

Property placeholders provide a few benefits:

  • They help prevent using hardcoded urls, port numbers, sensitive information, and other settings.
  • They allow externalizing the configuration from the code.
  • They help the code to become more flexible and reusable.

The following two sections list all the options, firstly for the component followed by the endpoint.

17.4. Component Options

The Bean component supports 4 options, which are listed below.

true

Boolean

lazyStartProducer (producer)

Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

false

boolean

scope (producer)

Scope of bean. When using singleton scope (default) the bean is created or looked up only once and reused for the lifetime of the endpoint. The bean should be thread-safe in case concurrent threads is calling the bean at the same time. When using request scope the bean is created or looked up once per request (exchange). This can be used if you want to store state on a bean while processing a request and you want to call the same bean instance multiple times while processing the request. The bean does not have to be thread-safe as the instance is only called from the same request. When using delegate scope, then the bean will be looked up or created per call. However in case of lookup then this is delegated to the bean registry such as Spring or CDI (if in use), which depends on their configuration can act as either singleton or prototype scope. so when using prototype then this depends on the delegated registry.

Enum values:

  • Singleton
  • Request
  • Prototype

By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

false

boolean

parameters (advanced)

Used for configuring additional properties on the bean.

 

Map

17.6. Examples

The object instance that is used to consume messages must be explicitly registered with the Registry. For example, if you are using Spring you must define the bean in the Spring configuration XML file.

You can also register beans manually via Camel’s Registry with the bind method.

Once an endpoint has been registered, you can build Camel routes that use it to process exchanges.

A bean: endpoint cannot be defined as the input to the route; i.e. you cannot consume from it, you can only route from some inbound message Endpoint to the bean endpoint as output. So consider using a direct: or queue: endpoint as the input.

You can use the createProxy() methods on ProxyHelper to create a proxy that will generate exchanges and send them to any endpoint:

And the same route using XML DSL:

<route>
   <from uri="direct:hello"/>
   <to uri="bean:bye"/>
</route>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

17.7. Bean as endpoint

Camel also supports invoking Bean as an Endpoint. What happens is that when the exchange is routed to the myBean Camel will use the Bean Binding to invoke the bean. The source for the bean is just a plain POJO.

Camel will use Bean Binding to invoke the sayHello method, by converting the Exchange’s In body to the String type and storing the output of the method on the Exchange Out body.

17.8. Java DSL bean syntax

Java DSL comes with syntactic sugar for the component. Instead of specifying the bean explicitly as the endpoint (i.e. to("bean:beanName")) you can use the following syntax:

// Send message to the bean endpoint
// and invoke method resolved using Bean Binding.
from("direct:start").bean("beanName");

// Send message to the bean endpoint
// and invoke given method.
from("direct:start").bean("beanName", "methodName");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Instead of passing name of the reference to the bean (so that Camel will lookup for it in the registry), you can specify the bean itself:

// Send message to the given bean instance.
from("direct:start").bean(new ExampleBean());

// Explicit selection of bean method to be invoked.
from("direct:start").bean(new ExampleBean(), "methodName");

// Camel will create the instance of bean and cache it for you.
from("direct:start").bean(ExampleBean.class);
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

17.9. Bean Binding

How bean methods to be invoked are chosen (if they are not specified explicitly through the method parameter) and how parameter values are constructed from the Message are all defined by the Bean Binding mechanism which is used throughout all of the various Bean Integration mechanisms in Camel.

17.10. Spring Boot Auto-Configuration

Chapter 18. BeanIO

Since Camel 2.10

The BeanIO Data Format uses BeanIO to handle flat payloads (such as XML, CSV, delimited, or fixed length formats).

BeanIO is configured using a mapping XML file where you define the mapping from the flat format to Objects (POJOs). This mapping file is mandatory to use.

18.1. Dependencies

When using beanio with Spring Boot make sure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for auto configuration:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-beanio-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

18.2. Options

The BeanIO dataformat supports 8 options, which are listed below.

Expand
NameDefaultJava TypeDescription

mapping (common)

 

String

Required The BeanIO mapping file. Is by default loaded from the classpath. You can prefix with file:, http:, or classpath: to denote from where to load the mapping file.

streamName (common)

 

String

Required The name of the stream to use.

ignoreUnidentifiedRecords (common)

false

Boolean

Whether to ignore unidentified records.

ignoreUnexpectedRecords (common)

false

Boolean

Whether to ignore unexpected records.

ignoreInvalidRecords (common)

false

Boolean

Whether to ignore invalid records.

encoding (advanced)

 

String

The charset to use. Is by default the JVM platform default charset.

beanReaderErrorHandlerType (advanced)

 

String

To use a custom org.apache.camel.dataformat.beanio.BeanIOErrorHandler as error handler while parsing. Configure the fully qualified class name of the error handler. Notice the options ignoreUnidentifiedRecords, ignoreUnexpectedRecords, and ignoreInvalidRecords may not be in use when you use a custom error handler.

unmarshalSingleObject (advanced)

false

Boolean

This options controls whether to unmarshal as a list of objects or as a single object only. The former is the default mode, and the latter is only intended in special use-cases where beanio maps the Camel message to a single POJO bean.

18.3. Usage

An example of a mapping file is here.

To use the BeanIODataFormat you need to configure the data format with the mapping file, as well the name of the stream.

This can be done as shown below. The streamName is employeeFile.

  • Java

  • XML

DataFormat format = new BeanIODataFormat(
        "org/apache/camel/dataformat/beanio/mappings.xml",
        "employeeFile");

// a route which uses the bean io data format to format the CSV data
// to java objects
from("direct:unmarshal")
        .unmarshal(format)
        // and then split the message body, so we get a message for each row
        .split(body())
        .to("mock:beanio-unmarshal");

// convert a list of java objects back to flat format
from("direct:marshal")
        .marshal(format)
        .to("mock:beanio-marshal");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
<route>
    <from uri="direct:unmarshal"/>
    <unmarshal>
        <beanio mapping="org/apache/camel/dataformat/beanio/mappings.xml" streamName="employeeFile"/>
    </unmarshal>
    <split>
        <simple>${body}</simple>
        <to uri="mock:beanio-unmarshal"/>
    </split>
</route>

<route>
    <from uri="direct:marshal"/>
    <marshal>
        <beanio mapping="org/apache/camel/dataformat/beanio/mappings.xml" streamName="employeeFile"/>
    </marshal>
    <to uri="mock:beanio-marshal"/>
</route>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

To use the BeanIO data format in XML, you need to configure it using the <beanio> XML tag as shown below. The routes are similar to the example above.

The first route is for transforming CSV data into a List<Employee> Java objects. Which we then split, so the mock endpoint receives a message for each row.

The second route is for the reverse operation, to transform a List<Employee> into a stream of CSV data.

The CSV data could, for example, be as below:

Joe,Smith,Developer,75000,10012009
Jane,Doe,Architect,80000,01152008
Jon,Anderson,Manager,85000,03182007

bean-validator:label[?options]
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Where label is an arbitrary text value describing the endpoint. You can append query options to the URI in the following format,

?option=value&option=value&…​

19.3. Configuring Options

Camel components are configured on two separate levels:

  • component level
  • endpoint level

19.3.1. Configuring Component Options

At the component level, you set general and shared configurations that are, then, inherited by the endpoints. It is the highest configuration level. For example, a component may have security settings, credentials for authentication, urls for network connection and so forth. Some components only have a few options, and others may have many. Because components typically have pre-configured defaults that are commonly used, then you may often only need to configure a few options on a component; or none at all.

You can configure components using:

  • the Component DSL.
  • in a configuration file (application.properties, *.yaml files, etc).
  • directly in the Java code.

19.3.2. Configuring Endpoint Options

You usually spend more time setting up endpoints because they have many options. These options help you customize what you want the endpoint to do. The options are also categorized into whether the endpoint is used as a consumer (from), as a producer (to), or both.

Configuring endpoints is most often done directly in the endpoint URI as path and query parameters. You can also use the Endpoint DSL and DataFormat DSL as a type safe way of configuring endpoints and data formats in Java.

A good practice when configuring options is to use Property Placeholders.

Property placeholders provide a few benefits:

  • They help prevent using hardcoded urls, port numbers, sensitive information, and other settings.
  • They allow externalizing the configuration from the code.
  • They help the code to become more flexible and reusable.

The following two sections list all the options, firstly for the component followed by the endpoint.

19.4. Component Options

The Bean Validator component supports 8 options, which are listed below.

Expand
NameDescriptionDefaultType

ignoreXmlConfiguration (producer)

Whether to ignore data from the META-INF/validation.xml file.

false

boolean

lazyStartProducer (producer)

Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

false

boolean

autowiredEnabled (advanced)

Whether autowiring is enabled. This is used for automatic autowiring options (the option must be marked as autowired) by looking up in the registry to find if there is a single instance of matching type, which then gets configured on the component. This can be used for automatic configuring JDBC data sources, JMS connection factories, AWS Clients, etc.

19.6. Example

Assumed we have a java bean with the following annotations

Car.java

public class Car {

    @NotNull
    private String manufacturer;

    @NotNull
    @Size(min = 5, max = 14, groups = OptionalChecks.class)
    private String licensePlate;

    // getter and setter
}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

and an interface definition for our custom validation group

OptionalChecks.java

public interface OptionalChecks {
}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

with the following Camel route, only the @NotNull constraints on the attributes manufacturer and licensePlate will be validated (Camel uses the default group javax.validation.groups.Default).

from("direct:start")
.to("bean-validator://x")
.to("mock:end")
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

If you want to check the constraints from the group OptionalChecks, you have to define the route like this

from("direct:start")
.to("bean-validator://x?group=OptionalChecks")
.to("mock:end")
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

If you want to check the constraints from both groups, you have to define a new interface first

AllChecks.java

@GroupSequence({Default.class, OptionalChecks.class})
public interface AllChecks {
}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

and then your route definition should looks like this

from("direct:start")
.to("bean-validator://x?group=AllChecks")
.to("mock:end")
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

And if you have to provide your own message interpolator, traversable resolver and constraint validator factory, you have to write a route like this

<bean id="myMessageInterpolator" class="my.ConstraintValidatorFactory" />
<bean id="myTraversableResolver" class="my.TraversableResolver" />
<bean id="myConstraintValidatorFactory" class="my.ConstraintValidatorFactory" />
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
from("direct:start")
.to("bean-validator://x?group=AllChecks&messageInterpolator=#myMessageInterpolator
&traversableResolver=#myTraversableResolver&constraintValidatorFactory=#myConstraintValidatorFactory")
.to("mock:end")
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

It’s also possible to describe your constraints as XML and not as Java annotations. In this case, you have to provide the file META-INF/validation.xml which could looks like this

validation.xml

<validation-config
    xmlns="http://jboss.org/xml/ns/javax/validation/configuration"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

Chapter 20. Bindy

The goal of this component is to allow the parsing/binding of non-structured data (or to be more precise non-XML data) to/from Java Beans that have binding mappings defined with annotations. Using Bindy, you can bind data from sources such as :

  • CSV records,
  • Fixed-length records,
  • FIX messages,
  • or almost any other non-structured data

to one or many Plain Old Java Object (POJO). Bindy converts the data according to the type of the java property. POJOs can be linked together with one-to-many relationships available in some cases. Moreover, for data type like Date, Double, Float, Integer, Short, Long and BigDecimal, you can provide the pattern to apply during the formatting of the property.

For the BigDecimal numbers, you can also define the precision and the decimal or grouping separators.

Where Decimal = Double, Integer, Float, Short, Long

Format supported

This first release only support comma separated values fields and key value pair fields (e.g. : FIX messages).

To work with camel-bindy, you must first define your model in a package (e.g. com.acme.model) and for each model class (e.g. Order, Client, Instrument, …​) add the required annotations (described hereafter) to the Class or field.

Multiple models

As you configure bindy using class names instead of package names you can put multiple models in the same package.

20.1. Dependencies

When using bindy-csv with Red Hat build of Camel Spring Boot make sure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for auto configuration:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-bindy-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

20.2. Options

The Bindy dataformat supports 5 options, which are listed below.

Expand
NameDefaultJava TypeDescription

type

 

Enum

Required Whether to use Csv, Fixed, or KeyValue.

Enum values:

  • Csv
  • Fixed
  • KeyValue

classType

 

String

Name of model class to use.

locale

 

String

To configure a default locale to use, such as us for united states. To use the JVM platform default locale then use the name default.

unwrapSingleInstance

 

Boolean

When unmarshalling should a single instance be unwrapped and returned instead of wrapped in a java.util.List.

allowEmptyStream

 

Boolean

Whether to allow empty streams in the unmarshal process. If true, no exception will be thrown when a body without records is provided.

20.3. Annotations

The annotations created allow to map different concept of your model to the POJO like:

  • Type of record (CSV, key value pair (e.g. FIX message), fixed length …​),
  • Link (to link object in another object),
  • DataField and their properties (int, type, …​),
  • KeyValuePairField (for key = value format like we have in FIX financial messages),
  • Section (to identify header, body and footer section),
  • OneToMany,
  • BindyConverter,
  • FormatFactories

This section will describe them.

20.3.1. 1. CsvRecord

The CsvRecord annotation is used to identified the root class of the model. It represents a record = "a line of a CSV file" and can be linked to several children model classes.

Expand
Annotation nameRecord typeLevel

CsvRecord

CSV

Class

Expand
Parameter nameTypeRequiredDefault valueInfo

separator

String

 

Separator used to split a record in tokens (mandatory) - can be ',' or ';' or 'anything'. The only whitespace character supported is tab (\t). No other whitespace characters (spaces) are not supported. This value is interpreted as a regular expression. If you want to use a sign which has a special meaning in regular expressions, e.g. the '|' sign, then you have to mask it, like '|'.

allowEmptyStream

boolean

 

false

The allowEmptyStream parameter will allow to prcoess the unavaiable stream for CSV file.

autospanLine

boolean

 

false

Last record spans rest of line (optional) - if enabled then the last column is auto spanned to end of line, for example if its a comment, etc this allows the line to contain all characters, also the delimiter char.

crlf

String

 

WINDOWS

Character to be used to add a carriage return after each record (optional) - allow to define the carriage return character to use. If you specify a value other than the three listed before, the value you enter (custom) will be used as the CRLF character(s). Three values can be used : WINDOWS, UNIX, MAC, or custom.

endWithLineBreak

boolean

 

true

The endWithLineBreak parameter flags if the CSV file should end with a line break or not (optional)

generateHeaderColumns

boolean

 

false

The generateHeaderColumns parameter allow to add in the CSV generated the header containing names of the columns

isOrdered

boolean

 

false

Indicates if the message must be ordered in output

name

String

  

Name describing the record (optional)

quote

String

 

"

Whether to marshal columns with the given quote character (optional) - allow to specify a quote character of the fields when CSV is generated. This annotation is associated to the root class of the model and must be declared one time.

quoting

boolean

 

false

Indicate if the values (and headers) must be quoted when marshaling (optional)

quotingEscaped

boolean

 

false

Indicate if the values must be escaped when quoting (optional)

removeQuotes

boolean

 

true

The remove quotes parameter flags if unmarshalling should try to remove quotes for each field

skipField

boolean

 

false

The skipField parameter will allow to skip fields of a CSV file. If some fields are not necessary, they can be skipped.

skipFirstLine

boolean

 

false

The skipFirstLine parameter will allow to skip or not the first line of a CSV file. This line often contains columns definition

trimLine

boolean

 

true

Whether to trim each line (stand and end) before parsing the line into data fields.

case 1 : separator = ','

The separator used to segregate the fields in the CSV record is , :

10, J, Pauline, M, XD12345678, Fortis Dynamic 15/15, 2500, USD, 08-01-2009
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
@CsvRecord( separator = "," )
public Class Order {

}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

case 2 : separator = ';'

Compare to the previous case, the separator here is ; instead of , :

10; J; Pauline; M; XD12345678; Fortis Dynamic 15/15; 2500; USD; 08-01-2009
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
@CsvRecord( separator = ";" )
public Class Order {

}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

case 3 : separator = '|'

Compare to the previous case, the separator here is | instead of ; :

10| J| Pauline| M| XD12345678| Fortis Dynamic 15/15| 2500| USD| 08-01-2009
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
@CsvRecord( separator = "\\|" )
public Class Order {

}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

case 4 : separator = '\",\"'

Applies for Camel 2.8.2 or older

When the field to be parsed of the CSV record contains , or ; which is also used as separator, we should find another strategy to tell camel bindy how to handle this case. To define the field containing the data with a comma, you will use single or double quotes as delimiter (e.g : '10', 'Street 10, NY', 'USA' or "10", "Street 10, NY", "USA").

Note

In this case, the first and last character of the line which are a single or double quotes will be removed by bindy.

"10","J","Pauline"," M","XD12345678","Fortis Dynamic 15,15","2500","USD","08-01-2009"
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
@CsvRecord( separator = "\",\"" )
public Class Order {

}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Bindy automatically detects if the record is enclosed with either single or double quotes and automatic remove those quotes when unmarshalling from CSV to Object. Therefore do not include the quotes in the separator, but simply do as below:

"10","J","Pauline"," M","XD12345678","Fortis Dynamic 15,15","2500","USD","08-01-2009"
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
@CsvRecord( separator = "," )
public Class Order {

}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Note that if you want to marshal from Object to CSV and use quotes, then you need to specify which quote character to use, using the quote attribute on the @CsvRecord as shown below:

@CsvRecord( separator = ",", quote = "\"" )
public Class Order {

}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

case 5 : separator & skipFirstLine

The feature is interesting when the client wants to have in the first line of the file, the name of the data fields :

order id, client id, first name, last name, isin code, instrument name, quantity, currency, date
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

To inform bindy that this first line must be skipped during the parsing process, then we use the attribute :

@CsvRecord(separator = ",", skipFirstLine = true)
public Class Order {

}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

case 6 : generateHeaderColumns

To add at the first line of the CSV generated, the attribute generateHeaderColumns must be set to true in the annotation like this :

@CsvRecord( generateHeaderColumns = true )
public Class Order {

}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

As a result, Bindy during the unmarshaling process will generate CSV like this :

order id, client id, first name, last name, isin code, instrument name, quantity, currency, date
10, J, Pauline, M, XD12345678, Fortis Dynamic 15/15, 2500, USD, 08-01-2009
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

case 7 : carriage return

If the platform where camel-bindy will run is not Windows but Macintosh or Unix, then you can change the crlf property like this. Three values are available : WINDOWS, UNIX or MAC

@CsvRecord(separator = ",", crlf="MAC")
public Class Order {

}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Additionally, if for some reason you need to add a different line ending character, you can opt to specify it using the crlf parameter. In the following example, we can end the line with a comma followed by the newline character:

@CsvRecord(separator = ",", crlf=",\n")
public Class Order {

}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

case 8 : isOrdered

Sometimes, the order to follow during the creation of the CSV record from the model is different from the order used during the parsing. Then, in this case, we can use the attribute isOrdered = true to indicate this in combination with attribute position of the DataField annotation.

@CsvRecord(isOrdered = true)
public Class Order {

   @DataField(pos = 1, position = 11)
   private int orderNr;

   @DataField(pos = 2, position = 10)
   private String clientNr;

}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
Note

pos is used to parse the file stream, while position is used to generate the CSV.

20.3.3. 3. DataField

public class Order {

    @DataField(pos = 1)
    private int orderNr;

    @DataField(pos = 5)
    private String isinCode;

}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

As you can see in this example the position starts at 1 but continues at 5 in the class Order. The numbers from 2 to 4 are defined in the class Client (see here after).

Position continues in another model class

public class Client {

    @DataField(pos = 2)
    private String clientNr;

    @DataField(pos = 3)
    private String firstName;

    @DataField(pos = 4)
    private String lastName;
}

case 2 : pattern

The pattern allows to enrich or validates the format of your data

Pattern

@CsvRecord(separator = ",")
public class Order {

    @DataField(pos = 1)
    private int orderNr;

    @DataField(pos = 5)
    private String isinCode;

    @DataField(name = "Name", pos = 6)
    private String instrumentName;

    @DataField(pos = 7, precision = 2)
    private BigDecimal amount;

    @DataField(pos = 8)
    private String currency;

    // pattern used during parsing or when the date is created
    @DataField(pos = 9, pattern = "dd-MM-yyyy")
    private Date orderDate;
}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

case 3 : precision

The precision is helpful when you want to define the decimal part of your number.

Precision

@CsvRecord(separator = ",")
public class Order {

    @DataField(pos = 1)
    private int orderNr;

    @Link
    private Client client;

    @DataField(pos = 5)
    private String isinCode;

    @DataField(name = "Name", pos = 6)
    private String instrumentName;

    @DataField(pos = 7, precision = 2)
    private BigDecimal amount;

    @DataField(pos = 8)
    private String currency;

    @DataField(pos = 9, pattern = "dd-MM-yyyy")
    private Date orderDate;
}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

case 4 : Position is different in output

The position attribute will inform bindy how to place the field in the CSV record generated. By default, the position used corresponds to the position defined with the attribute pos. If the position is different (that means that we have an asymetric processus comparing marshaling from unmarshaling) then we can use position to indicate this.

Here is an example:

Position is different in output

@CsvRecord(separator = ",", isOrdered = true)
public class Order {

    // Positions of the fields start from 1 and not from 0

    @DataField(pos = 1, position = 11)
    private int orderNr;

    @DataField(pos = 2, position = 10)

20.3.4. 4. FixedLengthRecord

The FixedLengthRecord annotation is used to identified the root class of the model. It represents a record = "a line of a file/message containing data fixed length (number of characters) formatted" and can be linked to several children model classes. This format is a bit particular because data of a field can be aligned to the right or to the left.

When the size of the data does not fill completely the length of the field, we can then add 'pad' characters.

case 7 : Skipping content when parsing a fixed length record

It is common to integrate with systems that provide fixed-length records containing more information than needed for the target use case. It is useful in this situation to skip the declaration and parsing of those fields that we do not need. To accomodate this, Bindy will skip forward to the next mapped field within a record if the pos value of the next declared field is beyond the cursor position of the last parsed field. Using absolute pos locations for the fields of interest (instead of ordinal values) causes Bindy to skip content between two fields.

Similarly, it is possible that none of the content beyond some field is of interest. In this case, you can tell Bindy to skip parsing of everything beyond the last mapped field by setting the ignoreTrailingChars property on the @FixedLengthRecord declaration.

@FixedLengthRecord(ignoreTrailingChars = true)
public static class Order {

    @DataField(pos = 1, length = 2)
    private int orderNr;

    @DataField(pos = 3, length = 2)
    private String clientNr;

    // any characters that appear beyond the last mapped field will be ignored

20.3.5. 5. Message

The Message annotation is used to identified the class of your model who will contain key value pairs fields. This kind of format is used mainly in Financial Exchange Protocol Messages (FIX). Nevertheless, this annotation can be used for any other format where data are identified by keys. The key pair values are separated each other by a separator which can be a special character like a tab delimitor (unicode representation : \u0009) or a start of heading (unicode representation : \u0001)

Note

To work with FIX messages, the model must contain a Header and Trailer classes linked to the root message class which could be a Order class. This is not mandatory but will be very helpful when you will use camel-bindy in combination with camel-fix which is a Fix gateway based on quickFix project .

case 1 : separator = 'u0001'

The separator used to segregate the key value pair fields in a FIX message is the ASCII 01 character or in unicode format \u0001. This character must be escaped a second time to avoid a java runtime error. Here is an example :

8=FIX.4.1 9=20 34=1 35=0 49=INVMGR 56=BRKR 1=BE.CHM.001 11=CHM0001-01 22=4 ...

and how to use the annotation:

FIX - message

@Message(keyValuePairSeparator = "=", pairSeparator = "\u0001", type="FIX", version="4.1")
public class Order {

}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Look at test cases

The ASCII character like tab, …​ cannot be displayed in WIKI page. So, have a look to the test case of camel-bindy to see exactly how the FIX message looks like (https://github.com/apache/camel/blob/main/components/camel-bindy/src/test/data/fix/fix.txt) and the Order, Trailer, Header classes (https://github.com/apache/camel/blob/main/components/camel-bindy/src/test/java/org/apache/camel/dataformat/bindy/model/fix/simple/Order.java).

20.3.6. 6. KeyValuePairField

The KeyValuePairField annotation defines the property of a key value pair field. Each KeyValuePairField is identified by a tag (= key) and its value associated, a type (string, int, date, …​), optionaly a pattern and if the field is required.

The purpose of the annotation @BindyConverter is define a converter to be used on field level. The provided class must implement the Format interface.

@FixedLengthRecord(length = 10, paddingChar = ' ')
public static class DataModel {
    @DataField(pos =  1, length = 10, trim = true)
    @BindyConverter(CustomConverter.class)
    public String field1;
}

public static class CustomConverter implements Format<String> {
    @Override
    public String format(String object) throws Exception {
        return (new StringBuilder(object)).reverse().toString();
    }

    @Override
    public String parse(String string) throws Exception {
        return (new StringBuilder(string)).reverse().toString();
    }
}

20.3.10. 10. FormatFactories

The purpose of the annotation @FormatFactories is to define a set of converters at record-level. The provided classes must implement the FormatFactoryInterface interface.

@CsvRecord(separator = ",")
@FormatFactories({OrderNumberFormatFactory.class})
public static class Order {

    @DataField(pos = 1)
    private OrderNumber orderNr;

    @DataField(pos = 2)
    private String firstName;
}

public static class OrderNumber {
    private int orderNr;

    public static OrderNumber ofString(String orderNumber) {
        OrderNumber result = new OrderNumber();
        result.orderNr = Integer.valueOf(orderNumber);
        return result;
    }
}

public static class OrderNumberFormatFactory extends AbstractFormatFactory {

    {
        supportedClasses.add(OrderNumber.class);
    }

    @Override
    public Format<?> build(FormattingOptions formattingOptions) {
        return new Format<OrderNumber>() {
            @Override
            public String format(OrderNumber object) throws Exception {
                return String.valueOf(object.orderNr);
            }

            @Override
            public OrderNumber parse(String string) throws Exception {
                return OrderNumber.ofString(string);
            }
        };
    }
}

20.4. Supported Datatypes

The DefaultFormatFactory makes formatting of the following datatype available by returning an instance of the interface FormatFactoryInterface based on the provided FormattingOptions:

  • BigDecimal
  • BigInteger
  • Boolean
  • Byte
  • Character
  • Date
  • Double
  • Enums
  • Float
  • Integer
  • LocalDate
  • LocalDateTime
  • LocalTime
  • Long
  • Short
  • String

The DefaultFormatFactory can be overridden by providing an instance of FactoryRegistry in the registry in use (e.g. spring or JNDI).

20.5. Using the Java DSL

The next step instantiates the DataFormat bindy class associated with this record type and providing a class as a parameter.

For example the following uses the class BindyCsvDataFormat (which corresponds to the class associated with the CSV record type) which is configured with com.acme.model.MyModel.class to initialize the model objects configured in this package.

DataFormat bindy = new BindyCsvDataFormat(com.acme.model.MyModel.class);
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

20.5.1. Setting locale

Bindy supports configuring the locale on the dataformat, such as

BindyCsvDataFormat bindy = new BindyCsvDataFormat(com.acme.model.MyModel.class);

bindy.setLocale("us");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Or to use the platform default locale then use "default" as the locale name.

BindyCsvDataFormat bindy = new BindyCsvDataFormat(com.acme.model.MyModel.class);

bindy.setLocale("default");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

20.5.2. Unmarshaling

from("file://inbox")
  .unmarshal(bindy)
  .to("direct:handleOrders");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Alternatively, you can use a named reference to a data format which can then be defined in your Registry e.g. your Spring XML file:

from("file://inbox")
  .unmarshal("myBindyDataFormat")
  .to("direct:handleOrders");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

The Camel route will pick-up files in the inbox directory, unmarshall CSV records into a collection of model objects and send the collection
to the route referenced by handleOrders.

The collection returned is a List of Map objects. Each Map within the list contains the model objects that were marshalled out of each line of the CSV. The reason behind this is that each line can correspond to more than one object. This can be confusing when you simply expect one object to be returned per line.

Each object can be retrieve using its class name.

List<Map<String, Object>> unmarshaledModels = (List<Map<String, Object>>) exchange.getIn().getBody();

int modelCount = 0;
for (Map<String, Object> model : unmarshaledModels) {
  for (String className : model.keySet()) {
     Object obj = model.get(className);
     LOG.info("Count : " + modelCount + ", " + obj.toString());
  }
 modelCount++;
}

LOG.info("Total CSV records received by the csv bean : " + modelCount);
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Assuming that you want to extract a single Order object from this map for processing in a route, you could use a combination of a Splitter and a Processor as per the following:

from("file://inbox")
    .unmarshal(bindy)
    .split(body())
        .process(new Processor() {
            public void process(Exchange exchange) throws Exception {
                Message in = exchange.getIn();
                Map<String, Object> modelMap = (Map<String, Object>) in.getBody();
                in.setBody(modelMap.get(Order.class.getCanonicalName()));
            }
        })
        .to("direct:handleSingleOrder")
    .end();
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Take care of the fact that Bindy uses CHARSET_NAME property or the CHARSET_NAME header as define in the Exchange interface to do a characterset conversion of the inputstream received for unmarshalling. In some producers (e.g. file-endpoint) you can define a characterset. The characterset conversion can already been done by this producer. Sometimes you need to remove this property or header from the exchange before sending it to the unmarshal. If you don’t remove it the conversion might be done twice which might lead to unwanted results.

from("file://inbox?charset=Cp922")
  .removeProperty(Exchange.CHARSET_NAME)
  .unmarshal("myBindyDataFormat")
  .to("direct:handleOrders");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

20.5.3. Marshaling

To generate CSV records from a collection of model objects, you create the following route :

from("direct:handleOrders")
   .marshal(bindy)
   .to("file://outbox")
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

20.6. Using Spring XML

This is really easy to use Spring as your favorite DSL language to declare the routes to be used for camel-bindy. The following example shows two routes where the first will pick-up records from files, unmarshal the content and bind it to their model. The result is then send to a pojo (doing nothing special) and place them into a queue.

The second route will extract the pojos from the queue and marshal the content to generate a file containing the CSV record.

20.7. Dependencies

To use Bindy in your camel routes you need to add the a dependency on camel-bindy which implements this data format.

If you use maven you could just add the following to your pom.xml, substituting the version number for the latest & greatest release (see the download page for the latest versions).

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-bindy</artifactId>

Chapter 21. Browse

Both producer and consumer are supported

The Browse component provides a simple BrowsableEndpoint which can be useful for testing, visualisation tools or debugging. The exchanges sent to the endpoint are all available to be browsed.

21.1. Dependencies

When using browse with Red Hat build of Camel Spring Boot make sure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for auto configuration:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-browse-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

21.2. URI format

browse:someName[?options]
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Where someName can be any string to uniquely identify the endpoint.

21.3. Configuring Options

Camel components are configured on two separate levels:

  • component level
  • endpoint level

21.3.1. Configuring Component Options

At the component level, you set general and shared configurations that are, then, inherited by the endpoints. It is the highest configuration level. For example, a component may have security settings, credentials for authentication, urls for network connection and so forth. Some components only have a few options, and others may have many. Because components typically have pre-configured defaults that are commonly used, then you may often only need to configure a few options on a component; or none at all.

You can configure components using:

  • the Component DSL.
  • in a configuration file (application.properties, *.yaml files, etc).
  • directly in the Java code.

21.3.2. Configuring Endpoint Options

You usually spend more time setting up endpoints because they have many options. These options help you customize what you want the endpoint to do. The options are also categorized into whether the endpoint is used as a consumer (from), as a producer (to), or both.

Configuring endpoints is most often done directly in the endpoint URI as path and query parameters. You can also use the Endpoint DSL and DataFormat DSL as a type safe way of configuring endpoints and data formats in Java.

A good practice when configuring options is to use Property Placeholders.

Property placeholders provide a few benefits:

  • They help prevent using hardcoded urls, port numbers, sensitive information, and other settings.
  • They allow externalizing the configuration from the code.
  • They help the code to become more flexible and reusable.

The following two sections list all the options, firstly for the component followed by the endpoint.

21.4. Component Options

The Browse component supports 3 options, which are listed below.

NameDescriptionDefaultType

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

lazyStartProducer (producer)

Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

false

boolean

autowiredEnabled (advanced)

Whether autowiring is enabled. This is used for automatic autowiring options (the option must be marked as autowired) by looking up in the registry to find if there is a single instance of matching type, which then gets configured on the component. This can be used for automatic configuring JDBC data sources, JMS connection factories, AWS Clients, etc.

21.6. Sample

In the route below, we insert a browse: component to be able to browse the Exchanges that are passing through:

from("activemq:order.in").to("browse:orderReceived").to("bean:processOrder");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

We can now inspect the received exchanges from within the Java code:

private CamelContext context;

public void inspectReceivedOrders() {

    List<Exchange> exchanges = browse.getExchanges();

    // then we can inspect the list of received exchanges from Java
    for (Exchange exchange : exchanges) {
        String payload = exchange.getIn().getBody();
        // do something with payload
    }

Chapter 22. Cassandra CQL

Both producer and consumer are supported

Apache Cassandra is an open source NoSQL database designed to handle large amounts on commodity hardware. Like Amazon’s DynamoDB, Cassandra has a peer-to-peer and master-less architecture to avoid single point of failure and garanty high availability. Like Google’s BigTable, Cassandra data is structured using column families which can be accessed through the Thrift RPC API or a SQL-like API called CQL.

Note

This component aims at integrating Cassandra 2.0+ using the CQL3 API (not the Thrift API). It’s based on Cassandra Java Driver provided by DataStax.

22.1. Dependencies

When using cql with Red Hat build of Camel Spring Boot make sure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for auto configuration:

22.5. Endpoint Connection Syntax

The endpoint can initiate the Cassandra connection or use an existing one.

Expand
URIDescription

cql:localhost/keyspace

Single host, default port, usual for testing

cql:host1,host2/keyspace

Multi host, default port

cql:host1,host2:9042/keyspace

Multi host, custom port

cql:host1,host2

Default port and keyspace

cql:bean:sessionRef

Provided Session reference

cql:bean:clusterRef/keyspace

Provided Cluster reference

To fine tune the Cassandra connection (SSL options, pooling options, load balancing policy, retry policy, reconnection policy…​), create your own Cluster instance and give it to the Camel endpoint.

22.6. Messages

22.6.1. Incoming Message

The Camel Cassandra endpoint expects a bunch of simple objects (Object or Object[] or Collection<Object>) which will be bound to the CQL statement as query parameters. If message body is null or empty, then CQL query will be executed without binding parameters.

Headers

  • CamelCqlQuery (optional, String or RegularStatement)

    CQL query either as a plain String or built using the QueryBuilder.

22.6.2. Outgoing Message

The Camel Cassandra endpoint produces one or many a Cassandra Row objects depending on the resultSetConversionStrategy:

  • List<Row> if resultSetConversionStrategy is ALL or LIMIT_[0-9]+
  • Single` Row` if resultSetConversionStrategy is ONE
  • Anything else, if resultSetConversionStrategy is a custom implementation of the ResultSetConversionStrategy

22.7. Repositories

Cassandra can be used to store message keys or messages for the idempotent and aggregation EIP.

Cassandra might not be the best tool for queuing use cases yet, read Cassandra anti-patterns queues and queue like datasets. It’s advised to use LeveledCompaction and a small GC grace setting for these tables to allow tombstoned rows to be removed quickly.

22.8. Idempotent repository

The NamedCassandraIdempotentRepository stores messages keys in a Cassandra table like this:

CAMEL_IDEMPOTENT.cql

CREATE TABLE CAMEL_IDEMPOTENT (
  NAME varchar,   -- Repository name
  KEY varchar,    -- Message key
  PRIMARY KEY (NAME, KEY)
) WITH compaction = {'class':'LeveledCompactionStrategy'}
  AND gc_grace_seconds = 86400;
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

This repository implementation uses lightweight transactions (also known as Compare and Set) and requires Cassandra 2.0.7+.

Alternatively, the CassandraIdempotentRepository does not have a NAME column and can be extended to use a different data model.

22.9. Aggregation repository

The NamedCassandraAggregationRepository stores exchanges by correlation key in a Cassandra table like this:

CAMEL_AGGREGATION.cql

CREATE TABLE CAMEL_AGGREGATION (
  NAME varchar,        -- Repository name
  KEY varchar,         -- Correlation id
  EXCHANGE_ID varchar, -- Exchange id
  EXCHANGE blob,       -- Serialized exchange
  PRIMARY KEY (NAME, KEY)
) WITH compaction = {'class':'LeveledCompactionStrategy'}
  AND gc_grace_seconds = 86400;

22.10. Examples

To insert something on a table you can use the following code:

String CQL = "insert into camel_user(login, first_name, last_name) values (?, ?, ?)";
from("direct:input")
    .to("cql://localhost/camel_ks?cql=" + CQL);
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

At this point you should be able to insert data by using a list as body

Arrays.asList("davsclaus", "Claus", "Ibsen")
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

The same approach can be used for updating or querying the table.

22.11. Spring Boot Auto-Configuration

The component supports 4 options, which are listed below.

Expand
NameDescriptionDefaultType

camel.component.cql.autowired-enabled

Whether autowiring is enabled. This is used for automatic autowiring options (the option must be marked as autowired) by looking up in the registry to find if there is a single instance of matching type, which then gets configured on the component. This can be used for automatic configuring JDBC data sources, JMS connection factories, AWS Clients, etc.

true

Boolean

camel.component.cql.bridge-error-handler

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

camel.component.cql.enabled

Whether to enable auto configuration of the cql component. This is enabled by default.

 

Boolean

camel.component.cql.lazy-start-producer

Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

false

Boolean

Chapter 23. CICS

Since Camel 4.4-redhat

Only producer is supported.

This component allows you to interact with the IBM CICS® general-purpose transaction processing subsystem.

Note

Only synchronous mode call are supported.

23.1. Dependencies

When using camel-cics with Red Hat build of Camel Spring Boot, add the following Maven dependency to your pom.xml to have support for auto configuration:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-cics-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

You must also declare the ctgclient.jar dependency when working with camel-cics starer.

<dependency>
    <artifactId>com.ibm</artifactId>
    <groupId>ctgclient</groupId>
    <scope>system</scope>
    <systemPath>${basedir}/lib/ctgclient.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

This JAR is provided by IBM and is included in the cics system.

23.2. URI format

cics://[interfaceType]/[dataExchangeType][?options]
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Where interfaceType is the CICS set of the external API that the camel-cics invokes. At the moment, only ECI (External Call Interface) is supported. This component communicates with the CICS server using two kinds of dataExchangeType.

  • commarea is a block of storage, limited to 32763 bytes, allocated by the program.
  • channel is the new mechanism for exchanging data, analogous to a parameter list.

By default, if dataExchangeType is not specified, this component uses commarea:

cics://eci?host=xxx&port=xxx...
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

To use the channel and the container you must specify it explicitly in the URI

cics://eci/channel?host=xxx&port=xxx...
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

23.3. Configuring Options

Camel components are configured on two separate levels:

  • component level
  • endpoint level

23.3.1. Configuring Component Options

At the component level, you set general and shared configurations that are, then, inherited by the endpoints. It is the highest configuration level. For example, a component may have security settings, credentials for authentication, urls for network connection and so forth. Some components only have a few options, and others may have many. Because components typically have pre-configured defaults that are commonly used, then you may often only need to configure a few options on a component; or none at all.

You can configure components using:

  • the Component DSL.
  • in a configuration file (application.properties, *.yaml files, etc).
  • directly in the Java code.

23.3.2. Configuring Endpoint Options

You usually spend more time setting up endpoints because they have many options. These options help you customize what you want the endpoint to do. The options are also categorized into whether the endpoint is used as a consumer (from), as a producer (to), or both.

Configuring endpoints is most often done directly in the endpoint URI as path and query parameters. You can also use the Endpoint DSL and DataFormat DSL as a type safe way of configuring endpoints and data formats in Java.

A good practice when configuring options is to use Property Placeholders.

Property placeholders provide a few benefits:

  • They help prevent using hardcoded urls, port numbers, sensitive information, and other settings.
  • They allow externalizing the configuration from the code.
  • They help the code to become more flexible and reusable.

The following two sections list all the options, firstly for the component followed by the endpoint.

23.4. Component Options

The CICS component supports 17 options, which are listed below.

23.7. Samples

23.7.1. Using Commarea

Following sample show how to configure a route that runs a program on a CICS server using COMMAREA. The COMMAREA size has to be defined in CICS_COMM_AREA_SIZE header, while the COMMAREA input data is defined in the Camel Exchange body.

Note

You must create a COMMAREA that is large enough to contain all the information to be sent to the server and large enough to contain all the information that can be returned from the server.

//.....
import static com.redhat.camel.component.cics.CICSConstants.CICS_PROGRAM_NAME_HEADER;
import static com.redhat.camel.component.cics.CICSConstants.CICS_COMM_AREA_SIZE_HEADER;
//....

from("direct:run").
   setHeader(CICS_PROGRAM_NAME_HEADER, "ECIREADY").
   setHeader(CICS_COMM_AREA_SIZE_HEADER, 18).
   setBody(constant("My input data")).
   to("cics:eci/commarea?host=192.168.0.23&port=2006&protocol=tcp&userId=foo&password=bar");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

The Outcome of the CICS program invocation is mapped to Camel Exchange in this way:

  • The numeric value of return code is stored in the CICS_RETURN_CODE header
  • The COMMAREA output data is stored in the Camel Exchange Body.

23.7.2. Using Channel with a single input container

Following sample shows how to use a channel with a single container to run a CICS program. The channel name and the container name are taken from headers, and the container value from the body:

//.....
import static com.redhat.camel.component.cics.CICSConstants.CICS_PROGRAM_NAME_HEADER;
import static com.redhat.camel.component.cics.CICSConstants.CICS_CHANNEL_NAME_HEADER;
import static com.redhat.camel.component.cics.CICSConstants.CICS_CONTAINER_NAME_HEADER;

//...
from("direct:run").
  setHeader(CICS_PROGRAM_NAME_HEADER, "EC03").
  setHeader(CICS_CHANNEL_NAME_HEADER, "SAMPLECHANNEL").
  setHeader(CICS_CONTAINER_NAME_HEADER, "INPUTDATA").
  setBody(constant("My input data")).
  to("cics:eci/channel?host=192.168.0.23&port=2006&protocol=tcp&userId=foo&password=bar");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

The container(s) returned is stored in an java.util.Map<String,Object>, the key is the container name and the value is the output data of the container.

23.7.3. Using Channel with multiple input container

If you need to run a CICS program that takes multiple container as input, you can create a java.util.Map<String,Object> where the keys are the container names and the values are the input data. In this case the CICS_CONTAINER_NAME header is ignored.

//.....
import static com.redhat.camel.component.cics.CICSConstants.CICS_PROGRAM_NAME_HEADER;
import static com.redhat.camel.component.cics.CICSConstants.CICS_CHANNEL_NAME_HEADER;

//...
from("direct:run").
  setHeader(CICS_PROGRAM_NAME_HEADER, "EC03").
  setHeader(CICS_CHANNEL_NAME_HEADER, "SAMPLECHANNEL").
  process(exchange->{
    byte[] thirdContainerData = HexFormat.of().parseHex("e04fd020ea3a6910a2d808002b30309d");
    Map<String,Object> containers = Map.of(
           "firstContainerName", "firstContainerData",
           "secondContainerName", "secondContainerData",
           "thirdContainerName", thirdContainerData
    );
    exchange.getMessage().setBody(containers);
  }).
  to("cics:eci/channel?host=192.168.0.23&port=2006&protocol=tcp&userId=foo&password=bar");

Chapter 24. Constant

The Constant Expression Language is really just a way to use a constant value or object.

Note

This is a fixed constant value (or object) that is only set once during starting up the route, do not use this if you want dynamic values during routing.

24.1. Dependencies

When using constant with Red Hat build of Camel Spring Boot make sure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for auto configuration:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-core-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

24.2. Constant Options

The Constant language supports 2 options, which are listed below.

Expand
NameDefaultJava TypeDescription

resultType

 

String

Sets the class name of the constant type.

trim

 

Boolean

Whether to trim the value to remove leading and trailing whitespaces and line breaks.

24.3. Example

The setHeader EIP can utilize a constant expression like:

<route>
  <from uri="seda:a"/>
  <setHeader name="theHeader">
    <constant>the value</constant>
  </setHeader>
  <to uri="mock:b"/>
</route>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

in this case, the message coming from the seda:a endpoint will have the header with key theHeader set its value as the value (string type).

And the same example using Java DSL:

from("seda:a")
  .setHeader("theHeader", constant("the value"))
  .to("mock:b");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

24.3.1. Specifying type of value

The option resultType can be used to specify the type of the value, when the value is given as a String value, which happens when using XML or YAML DSL:

For example to set a header with int type you can do:

<route>
  <from uri="seda:a"/>
  <setHeader name="zipCode">
    <constant resultType="int">90210</constant>
  </setHeader>
  <to uri="mock:b"/>
</route>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

24.4. Loading constant from external resource

You can externalize the constant and have Camel load it from a resource such as "classpath:", "file:", or "http:".
This is done using the following syntax: "resource:scheme:location", eg to refer to a file on the classpath you can do:

.setHeader("myHeader").constant("resource:classpath:constant.txt")

Error percentage threshold (as whole number such as 50) at which point the circuit breaker will trip open and reject requests. It will stay tripped for the duration defined in circuitBreakerSleepWindowInMilliseconds; The error percentage this is compared against comes from HystrixCommandMetrics.getHealthCounts().

50

Integer

camel.hystrix.circuit-breaker-force-closed

If true the HystrixCircuitBreaker#allowRequest() will always return true to allow requests regardless of the error percentage from HystrixCommandMetrics.getHealthCounts(). The circuitBreakerForceOpen() property takes precedence so if it set to true this property does nothing.

Float

camel.resilience4j.minimum-number-of-calls

Configures the minimum number of calls which are required (per sliding window period) before the CircuitBreaker can calculate the error rate. For example, if minimumNumberOfCalls is 10, then at least 10 calls must be recorded, before the failure rate can be calculated.

false

Boolean

camel.rest.component

The Camel Rest component to use for the REST transport (consumer), such as netty-http, jetty, servlet, undertow. If no component has been explicit configured, then Camel will lookup if there is a Camel component that integrates with the Rest DSL, or if a org.apache.camel.spi.RestConsumerFactory is registered in the registry. If either one is found, then that is being used.

 

String

camel.rest.component-property

Name of specific json data format to use. By default json-jackson will be used. Important: This option is only for setting a custom name of the data format, not to refer to an existing data format instance.

 

String

camel.rest.port

The port number to use for exposing the REST service. Notice if you use servlet component then the port number configured here does not apply, as the port number in use is the actual port number the servlet component is using. eg if using Apache Tomcat its the tomcat http port, if using Apache Karaf its the HTTP service in Karaf that uses port 8181 by default etc. Though in those situations setting the port number here, allows tooling and JMX to know the port number, so its recommended to set the port number to the number that the servlet engine uses.

 

String

camel.rest.producer-api-doc

Sets the location of the api document (swagger api) the REST producer will use to validate the REST uri and query parameters are valid accordingly to the api document. This requires adding camel-swagger-java to the classpath, and any miss configuration will let Camel fail on startup and report the error(s). The location of the api document is loaded from classpath by default, but you can use file: or http: to refer to resources to load from file or http url.

 

String

camel.rest.producer-component

Sets the name of the Camel component to use as the REST producer.

false

Boolean

Chapter 25. Control Bus

Only producer is supported

The Control Bus from the EIP patterns allows for the integration system to be monitored and managed from within the framework.

Use a Control Bus to manage an enterprise integration system. The Control Bus uses the same messaging mechanism used by the application data, but uses separate channels to transmit data that is relevant to the management of components involved in the message flow.

In Camel you can manage and monitor using JMX, or by using a Java API from the CamelContext, or from the org.apache.camel.api.management package, or use the event notifier which has an example here.

The ControlBus component provides easy management of Camel applications based on the Control Bus EIP pattern. For example, by sending a message to an Endpoint you can control the lifecycle of routes, or gather performance statistics.

controlbus:command[?options]
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Where command can be any string to identify which type of command to use.

CommandDescription

route

To control routes using the routeId and action parameter.

language

Allows you to specify a to use for evaluating the message body. If there is any result from the evaluation, then the result is put in the message body.

25.2. Dependencies

When using controlbus with Red Hat build of Camel Spring Boot make sure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for auto configuration:

</dependency>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

25.3. Configuring Options

Camel components are configured on two separate levels:

  • component level
  • endpoint level

25.3.1. Configuring Component Options

At the component level, you set general and shared configurations that are, then, inherited by the endpoints. It is the highest configuration level. For example, a component may have security settings, credentials for authentication, urls for network connection and so forth. Some components only have a few options, and others may have many. Because components typically have pre-configured defaults that are commonly used, then you may often only need to configure a few options on a component; or none at all.

You can configure components using:

  • the Component DSL.
  • in a configuration file (application.properties, *.yaml files, etc).
  • directly in the Java code.

25.3.2. Configuring Endpoint Options

You usually spend more time setting up endpoints because they have many options. These options help you customize what you want the endpoint to do. The options are also categorized into whether the endpoint is used as a consumer (from), as a producer (to), or both.

Configuring endpoints is most often done directly in the endpoint URI as path and query parameters. You can also use the Endpoint DSL and DataFormat DSL as a type safe way of configuring endpoints and data formats in Java.

A good practice when configuring options is to use Property Placeholders.

Property placeholders provide a few benefits:

  • They help prevent using hardcoded urls, port numbers, sensitive information, and other settings.
  • They allow externalizing the configuration from the code.
  • They help the code to become more flexible and reusable.

The following two sections list all the options, firstly for the component followed by the endpoint.

25.4. Component Options

The Control Bus component supports 2 options, which are listed below.

Expand
NameDescriptionDefaultType

lazyStartProducer (producer)

Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

false

boolean

autowiredEnabled (advanced)

Whether autowiring is enabled. This is used for automatic autowiring options (the option must be marked as autowired) by looking up in the registry to find if there is a single instance of matching type, which then gets configured on the component. This can be used for automatic configuring JDBC data sources, JMS connection factories, AWS Clients, etc.

25.5.1.1. Query Parameters (6 parameters)
Expand
NameDescriptionDefaultType

action (producer)

To denote an action that can be either: start, stop, or status. To either start or stop a route, or to get the status of the route as output in the message body. You can use suspend and resume from Camel 2.11.1 onwards to either suspend or resume a route. And from Camel 2.11.1 onwards you can use stats to get performance statics returned in XML format; the routeId option can be used to define which route to get the performance stats for, if routeId is not defined, then you get statistics for the entire CamelContext. The restart action will restart the route.

Enum values:

  • start
  • stop
  • suspend
  • resume
  • restart
  • status
  • stats
 

String

async (producer)

Whether to execute the control bus task asynchronously. Important: If this option is enabled, then any result from the task is not set on the Exchange. This is only possible if executing tasks synchronously.

false

boolean

lazyStartProducer (producer)

Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

false

boolean

loggingLevel (producer)

Logging level used for logging when task is done, or if any exceptions occurred during processing the task.

Enum values:

  • TRACE
  • DEBUG
  • INFO
  • WARN
  • ERROR
  • OFF

INFO

LoggingLevel

restartDelay (producer)

The delay in millis to use when restarting a route.

1000

int

routeId (producer)

To specify a route by its id. The special keyword current indicates the current route.

 

String

25.6. Using route command

The route command allows you to do common tasks on a given route very easily, for example to start a route, you can send an empty message to this endpoint:

template.sendBody("controlbus:route?routeId=foo&action=start", null);
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

To get the status of the route, you can do:

String status = template.requestBody("controlbus:route?routeId=foo&action=status", null, String.class);
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

25.7. Getting performance statistics

This requires JMX to be enabled (is by default) then you can get the performance statistics per route, or for the CamelContext. For example to get the statistics for a route named foo, we can do:

String xml = template.requestBody("controlbus:route?routeId=foo&action=stats", null, String.class);
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

The returned statistics is in XML format. Its the same data you can get from JMX with the dumpRouteStatsAsXml operation on the ManagedRouteMBean.

To get statistics for the entire CamelContext you just omit the routeId parameter as shown below:

String xml = template.requestBody("controlbus:route?action=stats", null, String.class);
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

25.8. Using Simple language

You can use the Simple language with the control bus, for example to stop a specific route, you can send a message to the "controlbus:language:simple" endpoint containing the following message:

template.sendBody("controlbus:language:simple", "${camelContext.getRouteController().stopRoute('myRoute')}");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

As this is a void operation, no result is returned. However, if you want the route status you can do:

String status = template.requestBody("controlbus:language:simple", "${camelContext.getRouteStatus('myRoute')}", String.class);
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

It’s easier to use the route command to control lifecycle of routes. The language command allows you to execute a language script that has stronger powers such as Groovy or to some extend the Simple language.

For example to shutdown Camel itself you can do:

template.sendBody("controlbus:language:simple?async=true", "${camelContext.stop()}");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

We use async=true to stop Camel asynchronously as otherwise we would be trying to stop Camel while it was in-flight processing the message we sent to the control bus component.

Note

You can also use other languages such as Groovy, etc.

25.9. Spring Boot Auto-Configuration

The component supports 3 options, which are listed below.

camel.component.controlbus.autowired-enabled

Whether autowiring is enabled. This is used for automatic autowiring options (the option must be marked as autowired) by looking up in the registry to find if there is a single instance of matching type, which then gets configured on the component. This can be used for automatic configuring JDBC data sources, JMS connection factories, AWS Clients, etc.

By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

Chapter 26. Cron

Only consumer is supported

The Cron component is a generic interface component that allows triggering events at specific time interval specified using the Unix cron syntax (e.g. 0/2 * * * * ? to trigger an event every two seconds).

Being an interface component, the Cron component does not contain a default implementation, instead it requires that the users plug the implementation of their choice.

The following standard Camel components support the Cron endpoints:

  • Camel-quartz
  • Camel-spring

The Cron component is also supported in Camel K, which can use the Kubernetes scheduler to trigger the routes when required by the cron expression. Camel K does not require additional libraries to be plugged when using cron expressions compatible with Kubernetes cron syntax.

26.1. Dependencies

When using cron with Red Hat build of Camel Spring Boot make sure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for auto configuration:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-cron-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Additional libraries may be needed in order to plug a specific implementation.

26.2. Configuring Options

Camel components are configured on two separate levels:

  • component level
  • endpoint level

26.2.1. Configuring Component Options

At the component level, you set general and shared configurations that are, then, inherited by the endpoints. It is the highest configuration level. For example, a component may have security settings, credentials for authentication, urls for network connection and so forth. Some components only have a few options, and others may have many. Because components typically have pre-configured defaults that are commonly used, then you may often only need to configure a few options on a component; or none at all.

You can configure components using:

  • the Component DSL.
  • in a configuration file (application.properties, *.yaml files, etc).
  • directly in the Java code.

26.2.2. Configuring Endpoint Options

You usually spend more time setting up endpoints because they have many options. These options help you customize what you want the endpoint to do. The options are also categorized into whether the endpoint is used as a consumer (from), as a producer (to), or both.

Configuring endpoints is most often done directly in the endpoint URI as path and query parameters. You can also use the Endpoint DSL and DataFormat DSL as a type safe way of configuring endpoints and data formats in Java.

A good practice when configuring options is to use Property Placeholders.

Property placeholders provide a few benefits:

  • They help prevent using hardcoded urls, port numbers, sensitive information, and other settings.
  • They allow externalizing the configuration from the code.
  • They help the code to become more flexible and reusable.

The following two sections list all the options, firstly for the component followed by the endpoint.

26.3. Component Options

The Cron component supports 3 options, which are listed below.

Sets the exchange pattern when the consumer creates an exchange.

Enum values:

  • InOnly
  • InOut
  • InOptionalOut
 

ExchangePattern

26.5. Usage

The component can be used to trigger events at specified times, as in the following example:

from("cron:tab?schedule=0/1+*+*+*+*+?")
.setBody().constant("event")
.log("${body}");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

The schedule expression 0/3+10+*+? can be also written as 0/3 10 * * * ? and triggers an event every three seconds only in the tenth minute of each hour.

Parts in the schedule expression means (in order):

  • Seconds (optional)
  • Minutes
  • Hours
  • Day of month
  • Month
  • Day of week
  • Year (optional)

Schedule expressions can be made of 5 to 7 parts. When expressions are composed of 6 parts, the first items is the "seconds" part (and year is considered missing).

Other valid examples of schedule expressions are:

  • 0/2 * * * ? (5 parts, an event every two minutes)
  • 0 0/2 * * * MON-FRI 2030 (7 parts, an event every two minutes only in year 2030)

Routes can also be written using the XML DSL.

<route>
    <from uri="cron:tab?schedule=0/1+*+*+*+*+?"/>
    <setBody>
      <constant>event</constant>
    </setBody>
    <to uri="log:info"/>

Chapter 27. Crypto (JCE)

Since Camel 2.3

Only producer is supported

With Camel cryptographic endpoints and Java Cryptographic extension, it is easy to create Digital Signatures for Exchanges. Camel provides a pair of flexible endpoints which get used in concert to create a signature for an exchange in one part of the exchange workflow and then verify the signature in a later part of the workflow.

27.1. Dependencies

When using crypto with Red Hat build of Camel Spring Boot ensure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for auto configuration:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-crypto-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

27.2. Introduction

Digital signatures make use of Asymmetric Cryptographic techniques to sign messages. From a high level, the algorithms use pairs of complimentary keys with the special property that data encrypted with one key can only be decrypted with the other. The private key, is closely guarded and used to 'sign' the message while the other, public key, is shared around to anyone interested in verifying the signed messages. Messages are signed by using the private key to encrypting a digest of the message. This encrypted digest is transmitted along with the message. On the other side the verifier recalculates the message digest and uses the public key to decrypt the digest in the signature. If both digests match, the verifier knows only the holder of the private key could have created the signature.

Camel uses the Signature service from the Java Cryptographic Extension to do all the heavy cryptographic lifting required to create exchange signatures. The following are the resources for explaining the mechanics of Cryptography, Message digests and Digital Signatures and how to leverage them with the JCE.

  • Bruce Schneier’s Applied Cryptography
  • Beginning Cryptography with Java by David Hook
  • The ever insightful Wikipedia Digital_signatures

27.3. URI format

Camel provides a pair of crypto endpoints to create and verify signatures

crypto:sign:name[?options]
crypto:verify:name[?options]
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  • crypto:sign creates the signature and stores it in the Header keyed by the constant org.apache.camel.component.crypto.DigitalSignatureConstants.SIGNATURE, that is, "CamelDigitalSignature".
  • crypto:verify reads in the contents of this header and do the verification calculation.

To function, the sign and verify process needs a pair of keys to be shared, signing requiring a PrivateKey and verifying a PublicKey (or a Certificate containing one). Using the JCE, it is very simple to generate these key pairs but it is usually most secure to use a KeyStore to house and share your keys. The DSL is very flexible about how keys are supplied and provides a number of mechanisms.

A crypto:sign endpoint is typically defined in one route and the complimentary crypto:verify in another, though for simplicity in the examples they appear one after the other. Both signing and verifying should be configured identically.

27.4. Configuring Options

Camel components are configured on two separate levels:

  • component level
  • endpoint level

27.4.1. Configuring Component Options

The component level is the highest level which holds general and common configurations that are inherited by the endpoints. For example a component may have security settings, credentials for authentication, urls for network connection and so forth.

Some components only have a few options, and others may have many. Because components typically have pre configured defaults that are commonly used, then you may often only need to configure a few options on a component; or none at all.

Configuring components can be done with the Component DSL, in a configuration file (application.properties|yaml), or directly with Java code.

27.4.2. Configuring Endpoint Options

Endpoints have many options, which allows you to configure what you need the endpoint to do. The options are also categorized into whether the endpoint is used as consumer (from) or as a producer (to), or used for both.

Configuring endpoints is done directly in the endpoint URI as path and query parameters. You can also use the Endpoint DSL and DataFormat DSL as a type safe way of configuring endpoints and data formats in Java.

Use Property Placeholders to configure options that allows to not hardcode urls, port numbers, sensitive information, and other settings. In other words placeholders allows to externalize the configuration from your code, and gives more flexibility and reuse.

The following two sections lists all the options, firstly for the component followed by the endpoint.

27.8. Using

27.8.1. Raw keys

The most basic way to sign and verify an exchange is with a KeyPair as follows.

KeyPair keyPair = KeyGenerator.getInstance("RSA").generateKeyPair();

from("direct:sign")
    .setHeader(DigitalSignatureConstants.SIGNATURE_PRIVATE_KEY, constant(keys.getPrivate()))
    .to("crypto:sign:message")
    .to("direct:verify");

from("direct:verify")
    .setHeader(DigitalSignatureConstants.SIGNATURE_PUBLIC_KEY_OR_CERT, constant(keys.getPublic()))
    .to("crypto:verify:check");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

The same can be achieved with the Spring XML Extensions using references to keys.

27.8.2. KeyStores and Aliases.

The JCE provides a very versatile keystore concept for housing pairs of private keys and certificates, keeping them encrypted and password protected. They can be retrieved by applying an alias to the retrieval APIs. There are a number of ways to get keys and Certificates into a keystore, most often this is done with the external 'keytool' application.

The following command will create a keystore containing a key and certificate aliased by bob, which can be used in the following examples. The password for the keystore and the key is letmein.

keytool -genkey -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -keystore keystore.jks -storepass letmein -alias bob -dname "CN=Bob,OU=IT,O=Camel" -noprompt
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

The following route first signs an exchange using Bob’s alias from the KeyStore bound into the Camel Registry, and then verifies it using the same alias.

from("direct:sign")
    .to("crypto:sign:keystoreSign?alias=bob&keystoreName=myKeystore&password=letmein")
    .log("Signature: ${header.CamelDigitalSignature}")
    .to("crypto:verify:keystoreVerify?alias=bob&keystoreName=myKeystore&password=letmein")
    .log("Verified: ${body}");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

The following code shows how to load the keystore created using the above keytool command and bind it into the registry with the name myKeystore for use in the above route. The example makes use of the @Configuration and @BindToRegistry annotations introduced in Camel 3 to instantiate the KeyStore and register it with the name myKeyStore.

@Configuration
public class KeystoreConfig {

    @BindToRegistry
    public KeyStore myKeystore() throws Exception {
        KeyStore store = KeyStore.getInstance("JKS");
        try (FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("keystore.jks")) {
            store.load(fis, "letmein".toCharArray());
        }
        return store;
    }
}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Again in Spring a ref is used to lookup an actual keystore instance.

27.8.3. Changing JCE Provider and Algorithm

Changing the Signature algorithm or the Security provider is a simple matter of specifying their names. You will need to also use Keys that are compatible with the algorithm you choose.

27.8.4. Changing the Signature Message Header

It may be desirable to change the message header used to store the signature. A different header name can be specified in the route definition as follows

from("direct:sign")
    .to("crypto:sign:keystoreSign?alias=bob&keystoreName=myKeystore&password=letmein&signatureHeaderName=mySignature")
    .log("Signature: ${header.mySignature}")
    .to("crypto:verify:keystoreVerify?alias=bob&keystoreName=myKeystore&password=letmein&signatureHeaderName=mySignature");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

===Changing the bufferSize

In case you need to update the size of the buffer.

27.8.5. Supplying Keys dynamically.

When using a Recipient list or similar EIP, the recipient of an exchange can vary dynamically. Using the same key across all recipients may be neither feasible nor desirable. It would be useful to be able to specify signature keys dynamically on a per-exchange basis. The exchange could then be dynamically enriched with the key of its target recipient prior to signing. To facilitate this the signature mechanisms allow for keys to be supplied dynamically via the message headers below.

  • DigitalSignatureConstants.SIGNATURE_PRIVATE_KEY, "CamelSignaturePrivateKey"
  • DigitalSignatureConstants.SIGNATURE_PUBLIC_KEY_OR_CERT, "CamelSignaturePublicKeyOrCert"

Even better would be to dynamically supply a keystore alias. Again the alias can be supplied in a message header

  • DigitalSignatureConstants.KEYSTORE_ALIAS, "CamelSignatureKeyStoreAlias"

The header would be set as follows:

Exchange unsigned = getMandatoryEndpoint("direct:alias-sign").createExchange();

camel.component.crypto.alias

Sets the alias used to query the KeyStore for keys and {link java.security.cert.Certificate Certificates} to be used in signing and verifying exchanges. This value can be provided at runtime via the message header org.apache.camel.component.crypto.DigitalSignatureConstants#KEYSTORE_ALIAS.

 

String

camel.component.crypto.autowired-enabled

Whether auto-wiring is enabled. This is used for automatic auto-wiring options (the option must be marked as auto-wired) by looking up in the registry to find if there is a single instance of matching type, which then gets configured on the component. This can be used for automatic configuring JDBC data sources, JMS connection factories, AWS Clients, etc.

Chapter 28. CSimple

The CSimple language is compiled Simple language.

28.1. Dependencies

When using csimple with Red Hat build of Camel Spring Boot make sure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for auto configuration:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-core-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

28.2. Different between CSimple and Simple

The simple language is a dynamic expression language which is runtime parsed into a set of Camel Expressions or Predicates.

The csimple language is parsed into regular Java source code and compiled together with all the other source code, or compiled once during bootstrap via the camel-csimple-joor module.

The simple language is generally very lightweight and fast, however for some use-cases with dynamic method calls via OGNL paths, then the simple language does runtime introspection and reflection calls. This has an overhead on performance, and was one of the reasons why csimple was created.

The csimple language requires to be typesafe and method calls via OGNL paths requires to know the type during parsing. This means for csimple languages expressions you would need to provide the class type in the script, whereas simple introspects this at runtime.

In other words the simple language is using duck typing (if it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it is a duck) and csimple is using Java type (typesafety). If there is a type error then simple will report this at runtime, and with csimple there will be a Java compilation error.

28.2.1. Additional CSimple functions

The csimple language includes some additional functions to support common use-cases working with Collection, Map or array types. The following functions bodyAsIndex, headerAsIndex, and exchangePropertyAsIndex is used for these use-cases as they are typed.

Expand
FunctionTypeDescription

bodyAsIndex(type, index)

Type

To be used for collecting the body from an existing Collection, Map or array (lookup by the index) and then converting the body to the given type determined by its classname. The converted body can be null.

mandatoryBodyAsIndex(type, index)

Type

To be used for collecting the body from an existing Collection, Map or array (lookup by the index) and then converting the body to the given type determined by its classname. Expects the body to be not null.

headerAsIndex(key, type, index)

Type

To be used for collecting a header from an existing Collection, Map or array (lookup by the index) and then converting the header value to the given type determined by its classname. The converted header can be null.

mandatoryHeaderAsIndex(key, type, index)

Type

To be used for collecting a header from an existing Collection, Map or array (lookup by the index) and then converting the header value to the given type determined by its classname. Expects the header to be not null.

exchangePropertyAsIndex(key, type, index)

Type

To be used for collecting an exchange property from an existing Collection, Map or array (lookup by the index) and then converting the exchange property to the given type determined by its classname. The converted exchange property can be null.

mandatoryExchangePropertyAsIndex(key, type, index)

Type

To be used for collecting an exchange property from an existing Collection, Map or array (lookup by the index) and then converting the exchange property to the given type determined by its classname. Expects the exchange property to be not null.

For example given the following simple expression:

Hello $\{body[0].name}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

This script has no type information, and the simple language will resolve this at runtime, by introspecting the message body and if it’s a collection based then lookup the first element, and then invoke a method named getName via reflection.

In csimple (compiled) we want to pre compile this and therefore the end user must provide type information with the bodyAsIndex function:

Hello $\{bodyAsIndex(com.foo.MyUser, 0).name}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

28.3. Compilation

The csimple language is parsed into regular Java source code and compiled together with all the other source code, or it can be compiled once during bootstrap via the camel-csimple-joor module.

There are two ways to compile csimple

  • using the camel-csimple-maven-plugin generating source code at built time.
  • using camel-csimple-joor which does runtime in-memory compilation during bootstrap of Camel.

28.3.1. Using camel-csimple-maven-plugin

The camel-csimple-maven-plugin Maven plugin is used for discovering all the csimple scripts from the source code, and then automatic generate source code in the src/generated/java folder, which then gets compiled together with all the other sources.

The maven plugin will do source code scanning of .java and .xml files (Java and XML DSL). The scanner limits to detect certain code patterns, and it may miss discovering some csimple scripts if they are being used in unusual/rare ways.

The runtime compilation using camel-csimple-joor does not have this limitation.

The benefit is all the csimple scripts will be compiled using the regular Java compiler and therefore everything is included out of the box as .class files in the application JAR file, and no additional dependencies is required at runtime.

To use camel-csimple-maven-plugin you need to add it to your pom.xml file as shown:

<plugins>
    <!-- generate source code for csimple languages -->
    <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
        <artifactId>camel-csimple-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>${camel.version}</version>
        <executions>
            <execution>
                <id>generate</id>
                <goals>
                    <goal>generate</goal>
                </goals>
            </execution>
        </executions>
    </plugin>
    <!-- include source code generated to maven sources paths -->
    <plugin>
        <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
        <artifactId>build-helper-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>3.1.0</version>
        <executions>
            <execution>
                <phase>generate-sources</phase>
                <goals>
                    <goal>add-source</goal>
                    <goal>add-resource</goal>
                </goals>
                <configuration>
                    <sources>
                        <source>src/generated/java</source>
                    </sources>
                    <resources>
                        <resource>
                            <directory>src/generated/resources</directory>
                        </resource>
                    </resources>
                </configuration>
            </execution>
        </executions>
    </plugin>
</plugins>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

And then you must also add the build-helper-maven-plugin Maven plugin to include src/generated to the list of source folders for the Java compiler, to ensure the generated source code is compiled and included in the application JAR file.

See the camel-example-csimple example at Camel Examples which uses the maven plugin.

28.3.2. Using camel-csimple-joor

The jOOR library integrates with the Java compiler and performs runtime compilation of Java code.

The supported runtime when using camel-simple-joor is intended for Java standalone, Spring Boot, Camel Quarkus and other microservices runtimes. It is not supported in OSGi, Camel Karaf or any kind of Java Application Server runtime.

jOOR does not support runtime compilation with Spring Boot using fat jar packaging (https://github.com/jOOQ/jOOR/issues/69), it works with exploded classpath.

To use camel-simple-joor you simply just add it as dependency to the classpath:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-csimple-joor</artifactId>
  <version>{CamelSBProjectVersion}</version>
</dependency>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

There is no need for adding Maven plugins to the pom.xml file.

See the camel-example-csimple-joor example at Camel Examples which uses the jOOR compiler.

28.4. CSimple Language options

The CSimple language supports 2 options, which are listed below.

Expand
NameDefaultJava TypeDescription

resultType

 

String

Sets the class name of the result type (type from output).

trim

 

Boolean

Whether to trim the value to remove leading and trailing whitespaces and line breaks.

28.5. Limitations

Currently, the csimple language does not support:

  • nested functions (aka functions inside functions)
  • the null safe operator (?).

For example the following scripts cannot compile:

  Hello ${bean:greeter(${body}, ${header.counter})}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  ${bodyAs(MyUser)?.address?.zip} > 10000
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

28.6. Auto imports

The csimple language will automatically import from:

import java.util.*;
import java.util.concurrent.*;
import java.util.stream.*;
import org.apache.camel.*;
import org.apache.camel.util.*;
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

28.7. Configuration file

You can configure the csimple language in the camel-csimple.properties file which is loaded from the root classpath.

For example you can add additional imports in the camel-csimple.properties file by adding:

import com.foo.MyUser;
import com.bar.*;
import static com.foo.MyHelper.*;
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

You can also add aliases (key=value) where an alias will be used as a shorthand replacement in the code.

echo()=${bodyAs(String)} ${bodyAs(String)}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Which allows to use echo() in the csimple language script such as:

from("direct:hello")
    .transform(csimple("Hello echo()"))
    .log("You said ${body}");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

The echo() alias will be replaced with its value resulting in a script as:

    .transform(csimple("Hello ${bodyAs(String)} ${bodyAs(String)}"))
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

28.8. See Also

See the Simple language as csimple has the same set of functions as simple language.

If either one is found, then that is being used.

 

String

camel.rest.api-context-path

Sets a leading API context-path the REST API services will be using. This can be used when using components such as camel-servlet where the deployed web application is deployed using a context-path.

 

String

To use an specific hostname for the API documentation (eg swagger) This can be used to override the generated host with this configured hostname.

 

String

camel.rest.api-property

Allows to configure as many additional properties for the api documentation (swagger). For example set property api.title to my cool stuff.

 

Map

camel.rest.api-vendor-extension

false

Boolean

camel.rest.binding-mode

Sets the binding mode to use. The default value is off.

 

RestBindingMode

camel.rest.client-request-validation

Whether to enable validation of the client request to check whether the Content-Type and Accept headers from the client is supported by the Rest-DSL configuration of its consumes/produces settings. This can be turned on, to enable this check. In case of validation error, then HTTP Status codes 415 or 406 is returned. The default value is false.

false

Boolean

camel.rest.component

The Camel Rest component to use for the REST transport (consumer), such as netty-http, jetty, servlet, undertow. If no component has been explicit configured, then Camel will lookup if there is a Camel component that integrates with the Rest DSL, or if a org.apache.camel.spi.RestConsumerFactory is registered in the registry. If either one is found, then that is being used.

 

String

camel.rest.component-property

Allows to configure as many additional properties for the rest component in use.

 

Map

camel.rest.consumer-property

Allows to configure as many additional properties for the rest consumer in use.

 

Map

camel.rest.context-path

Sets a leading context-path the REST services will be using. This can be used when using components such as camel-servlet where the deployed web application is deployed using a context-path. Or for components such as camel-jetty or camel-netty-http that includes a HTTP server.

 

String

camel.rest.cors-headers

Allows to configure custom CORS headers.

 

Map

camel.rest.data-format-property

Allows to configure as many additional properties for the data formats in use. For example set property prettyPrint to true to have json outputted in pretty mode. The properties can be prefixed to denote the option is only for either JSON or XML and for either the IN or the OUT. The prefixes are: json.in. json.out. xml.in. xml.out. For example a key with value xml.out.mustBeJAXBElement is only for the XML data format for the outgoing. A key without a prefix is a common key for all situations.

 

Map

String

camel.rest.port

The port number to use for exposing the REST service. Notice if you use servlet component then the port number configured here does not apply, as the port number in use is the actual port number the servlet component is using. eg if using Apache Tomcat its the tomcat http port, if using Apache Karaf its the HTTP service in Karaf that uses port 8181 by default etc. Though in those situations setting the port number here, allows tooling and JMX to know the port number, so its recommended to set the port number to the number that the servlet engine uses.

 

String

camel.rest.producer-api-doc

Sets the location of the api document (swagger api) the REST producer will use to validate the REST uri and query parameters are valid accordingly to the api document. This requires adding camel-swagger-java to the classpath, and any miss configuration will let Camel fail on startup and report the error(s). The location of the api document is loaded from classpath by default, but you can use file: or http: to refer to resources to load from file or http url.

 

String

camel.rest.producer-component

Sets the name of the Camel component to use as the REST producer.

Chapter 29. CXF

Both producer and consumer are supported

The CXF component provides integration with Apache CXF for connecting to JAX-WS services hosted in CXF.

Tip

When using CXF in streaming modes (see DataFormat option), then also read about Stream caching.

29.1. Dependencies

When using cxf with Red Hat build of Camel Spring Boot make sure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for auto configuration:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-cxf-soap-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

29.2. URI format

There are two URI formats for this endpoint: cxfEndpoint and someAddress.

cxf:bean:cxfEndpoint[?options]
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Where cxfEndpoint represents a bean ID that references a bean in the Spring bean registry. With this URI format, most of the endpoint details are specified in the bean definition.

cxf://someAddress[?options]
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Where someAddress specifies the CXF endpoint’s address. With this URI format, most of the endpoint details are specified using options.

For either style above, you can append options to the URI as follows:

cxf:bean:cxfEndpoint?wsdlURL=wsdl/hello_world.wsdl&dataFormat=PAYLOAD
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

29.3. Configuring Options

Camel components are configured on two separate levels:

  • component level
  • endpoint level

29.3.1. Configuring Component Options

At the component level, you set general and shared configurations that are, then, inherited by the endpoints. It is the highest configuration level. For example, a component may have security settings, credentials for authentication, urls for network connection and so forth. Some components only have a few options, and others may have many. Because components typically have pre-configured defaults that are commonly used, then you may often only need to configure a few options on a component; or none at all.

You can configure components using:

  • the Component DSL.
  • in a configuration file (application.properties, *.yaml files, etc).
  • directly in the Java code.

29.3.2. Configuring Endpoint Options

You usually spend more time setting up endpoints because they have many options. These options help you customize what you want the endpoint to do. The options are also categorized into whether the endpoint is used as a consumer (from), as a producer (to), or both.

Configuring endpoints is most often done directly in the endpoint URI as path and query parameters. You can also use the Endpoint DSL and DataFormat DSL as a type safe way of configuring endpoints and data formats in Java.

A good practice when configuring options is to use Property Placeholders.

Property placeholders provide a few benefits:

  • They help prevent using hardcoded urls, port numbers, sensitive information, and other settings.
  • They allow externalizing the configuration from the code.
  • They help the code to become more flexible and reusable.

The following two sections list all the options, firstly for the component followed by the endpoint.

29.4. Component Options

The CXF component supports 6 options, which are listed below.

Expand
NameDescriptionDefaultType

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

lazyStartProducer (producer)

Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

false

boolean

allowStreaming (advanced)

This option controls whether the CXF component, when running in PAYLOAD mode, will DOM parse the incoming messages into DOM Elements or keep the payload as a javax.xml.transform.Source object that would allow streaming in some cases.

 

Boolean

autowiredEnabled (advanced)

Whether autowiring is enabled. This is used for automatic autowiring options (the option must be marked as autowired) by looking up in the registry to find if there is a single instance of matching type, which then gets configured on the component. This can be used for automatic configuring JDBC data sources, JMS connection factories, AWS Clients, etc.

29.5.3. Descriptions of the dataformats

In Apache Camel, the Camel CXF component is the key to integrating routes with Web services. You can use the Camel CXF component to create a CXF endpoint, which can be used in either of the following ways:

  • Consumer — (at the start of a route) represents a Web service instance, which integrates with the route. The type of payload injected into the route depends on the value of the endpoint’s dataFormat option.
  • Producer — (at other points in the route) represents a WS client proxy, which converts the current exchange object into an operation invocation on a remote Web service. The format of the current exchange must match the endpoint’s dataFormat setting.
Expand
DataFormatDescription

POJO

POJOs (Plain old Java objects) are the Java parameters to the method being invoked on the target server. Both Protocol and Logical JAX-WS handlers are supported.

PAYLOAD

PAYLOAD is the message payload (the contents of the soap:body) after message configuration in the CXF endpoint is applied. Only Protocol JAX-WS handler is supported. Logical JAX-WS handler is not supported.

RAW

RAW mode provides the raw message stream that is received from the transport layer. It is not possible to touch or change the stream, some of the CXF interceptors will be removed if you are using this kind of DataFormat, so you can’t see any soap headers after the camel-cxf consumer. JAX-WS handler is not supported.

CXF_MESSAGE

CXF_MESSAGE allows for invoking the full capabilities of CXF interceptors by converting the message from the transport layer into a raw SOAP message

You can determine the data format mode of an exchange by retrieving the exchange property, CamelCXFDataFormat. The exchange key constant is defined in org.apache.camel.component.cxf.common.message.CxfConstants.DATA_FORMAT_PROPERTY.

29.5.4. How to enable CXF’s LoggingOutInterceptor in RAW mode

CXF’s LoggingOutInterceptor outputs outbound message that goes on the wire to logging system (Java Util Logging). Since the LoggingOutInterceptor is in PRE_STREAM phase (but PRE_STREAM phase is removed in RAW mode), you have to configure LoggingOutInterceptor to be run during the WRITE phase. The following is an example.

@Bean
public CxfEndpoint serviceEndpoint(LoggingOutInterceptor loggingOutInterceptor) {
    CxfSpringEndpoint cxfEndpoint = new CxfSpringEndpoint();
    cxfEndpoint.setAddress("http://localhost:" + port
                            + "/services" + SERVICE_ADDRESS);
    cxfEndpoint.setServiceClass(org.apache.camel.component.cxf.HelloService.class);
    Map<String, Object> properties = new HashMap<String, Object>();
    properties.put("dataFormat", "RAW");
    cxfEndpoint.setProperties(properties);
    cxfEndpoint.getOutInterceptors().add(loggingOutInterceptor);
    return cxfEndpoint;
}


@Bean
public LoggingOutInterceptor loggingOutInterceptor() {
    LoggingOutInterceptor logger = new LoggingOutInterceptor("write");
    return logger;
}

29.5.5. Description of relayHeaders option

There are in-band and out-of-band on-the-wire headers from the perspective of a JAXWS WSDL-first developer.

The in-band headers are headers that are explicitly defined as part of the WSDL binding contract for an endpoint such as SOAP headers.

The out-of-band headers are headers that are serialized over the wire, but are not explicitly part of the WSDL binding contract.

Headers relaying/filtering is bi-directional.

When a route has a CXF endpoint and the developer needs to have on-the-wire headers, such as SOAP headers, be relayed along the route to be consumed say by another JAXWS endpoint, then relayHeaders should be set to true, which is the default value.

29.5.6. Available only in POJO mode

The relayHeaders=true expresses an intent to relay the headers. The actual decision on whether a given header is relayed is delegated to a pluggable instance that implements the MessageHeadersRelay interface. A concrete implementation of MessageHeadersRelay will be consulted to decide if a header needs to be relayed or not. There is already an implementation of SoapMessageHeadersRelay which binds itself to well-known SOAP name spaces. Currently only out-of-band headers are filtered, and in-band headers will always be relayed when relayHeaders=true. If there is a header on the wire whose name space is unknown to the runtime, then a fall back DefaultMessageHeadersRelay will be used, which simply allows all headers to be relayed.

The relayHeaders=false setting specifies that all headers in-band and out-of-band should be dropped.

You can plugin your own MessageHeadersRelay implementations overriding or adding additional ones to the list of relays. In order to override a preloaded relay instance just make sure that your MessageHeadersRelay implementation services the same name spaces as the one you looking to override. Also note, that the overriding relay has to service all of the name spaces as the one you looking to override, or else a runtime exception on route start up will be thrown as this would introduce an ambiguity in name spaces to relay instance mappings.

Take a look at the tests that show how you’d be able to relay/drop headers here:

https://github.com/apache/camel/blob/main/components/camel-cxf/camel-cxf-spring-soap/src/test/java/org/apache/camel/component/cxf/soap/headers/CxfMessageHeadersRelayTest.java

  • POJO and PAYLOAD modes are supported. In POJO mode, only out-of-band message headers are available for filtering as the in-band headers have been processed and removed from header list by CXF. The in-band headers are incorporated into the MessageContentList in POJO mode. The camel-cxf component does make any attempt to remove the in-band headers from the MessageContentList. If filtering of in-band headers is required, please use PAYLOAD mode or plug in a (pretty straightforward) CXF interceptor/JAXWS Handler to the CXF endpoint.
  • The Message Header Relay mechanism has been merged into CxfHeaderFilterStrategy. The relayHeaders option, its semantics, and default value remain the same, but it is a property of CxfHeaderFilterStrategy. Here is an example of configuring it.
@Bean
public HeaderFilterStrategy dropAllMessageHeadersStrategy() {
    CxfHeaderFilterStrategy headerFilterStrategy = new CxfHeaderFilterStrategy();
    headerFilterStrategy.setRelayHeaders(false);
    return headerFilterStrategy;
}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Then, your endpoint can reference the CxfHeaderFilterStrategy.

@Bean
public CxfEndpoint routerNoRelayEndpoint(HeaderFilterStrategy dropAllMessageHeadersStrategy) {
    CxfSpringEndpoint cxfEndpoint = new CxfSpringEndpoint();
    cxfEndpoint.setServiceClass(org.apache.camel.component.cxf.soap.headers.HeaderTester.class);
    cxfEndpoint.setAddress("/CxfMessageHeadersRelayTest/HeaderService/routerNoRelayEndpoint");
    cxfEndpoint.setWsdlURL("soap_header.wsdl");
    cxfEndpoint.setEndpointNameAsQName(
        QName.valueOf("{http://apache.org/camel/component/cxf/soap/headers}SoapPortNoRelay"));
    cxfEndpoint.setServiceNameAsQName(SERVICENAME);
    Map<String, Object> properties = new HashMap<String, Object>();
    properties.put("dataFormat", "PAYLOAD");
    cxfEndpoint.setProperties(properties);
    cxfEndpoint.setHeaderFilterStrategy(dropAllMessageHeadersStrategy);
    return cxfEndpoint;
}

@Bean
public CxfEndpoint serviceNoRelayEndpoint(HeaderFilterStrategy dropAllMessageHeadersStrategy) {
    CxfSpringEndpoint cxfEndpoint = new CxfSpringEndpoint();
    cxfEndpoint.setServiceClass(org.apache.camel.component.cxf.soap.headers.HeaderTester.class);
    cxfEndpoint.setAddress("http://localhost:" + port + "/services/CxfMessageHeadersRelayTest/HeaderService/routerNoRelayEndpointBackend");
    cxfEndpoint.setWsdlURL("soap_header.wsdl");
    cxfEndpoint.setEndpointNameAsQName(
        QName.valueOf("{http://apache.org/camel/component/cxf/soap/headers}SoapPortNoRelay"));
    cxfEndpoint.setServiceNameAsQName(SERVICENAME);
    Map<String, Object> properties = new HashMap<String, Object>();
    properties.put("dataFormat", "PAYLOAD");
    cxfEndpoint.setProperties(properties);
    cxfEndpoint.setHeaderFilterStrategy(dropAllMessageHeadersStrategy);
    return cxfEndpoint;
}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Then configure the route as follows:

rom("cxf:bean:routerNoRelayEndpoint")
    .to("cxf:bean:serviceNoRelayEndpoint");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  • The MessageHeadersRelay interface has changed slightly and has been renamed to MessageHeaderFilter. It is a property of CxfHeaderFilterStrategy. Here is an example of configuring user defined Message Header Filters:
@Bean
public HeaderFilterStrategy customMessageFilterStrategy() {
    CxfHeaderFilterStrategy headerFilterStrategy = new CxfHeaderFilterStrategy();
    List<MessageHeaderFilter> headerFilterList = new ArrayList<MessageHeaderFilter>();
    headerFilterList.add(new SoapMessageHeaderFilter());
    headerFilterList.add(new CustomHeaderFilter());
    headerFilterStrategy.setMessageHeaderFilters(headerFilterList);
    return headerFilterStrategy;
}

  • In addition to relayHeaders, the following properties can be configured in CxfHeaderFilterStrategy.

29.6. Configure the CXF endpoints with Spring

You can configure the CXF endpoint with the Spring configuration file shown below, and you can also embed the endpoint into the camelContext tags. When you are invoking the service endpoint, you can set the operationName and operationNamespace headers to explicitly state which operation you are calling.

Be sure to include the JAX-WS schemaLocation attribute specified on the root beans element. This allows CXF to validate the file and is required. Also note the namespace declarations at the end of the <cxf:cxfEndpoint/> tag. These declarations are required because the combined {namespace}localName syntax is presently not supported for this tag’s attribute values.

The cxf:cxfEndpoint element supports many additional attributes:

Expand
NameValue

PortName

The endpoint name this service is implementing, it maps to the wsdl:port@name. In the format of ns:PORT_NAME where ns is a namespace prefix valid at this scope.

serviceName

The service name this service is implementing, it maps to the wsdl:service@name. In the format of ns:SERVICE_NAME where ns is a namespace prefix valid at this scope.

wsdlURL

The location of the WSDL. Can be on the classpath, file system, or be hosted remotely.

bindingId

The bindingId for the service model to use.

address

Note

In SpringBoot, you can use Spring XML files to configure camel-cxf and use code similar to the following example to create XML configured beans:

@ImportResource({
		"classpath:spring-configuration.xml"
})

However, the use of Java code configured beans (as shown in other examples) is best practice in SpringBoot.

29.7. How to make the camel-cxf component use log4j instead of java.util.logging

CXF’s default logger is java.util.logging. If you want to change it to log4j, proceed as follows. Create a file, in the classpath, named META-INF/cxf/org.apache.cxf.logger. This file should contain the fully-qualified name of the class, org.apache.cxf.common.logging.Log4jLogger, with no comments, on a single line.

29.8. How to let camel-cxf response start with xml processing instruction

If you are using some SOAP client such as PHP, you will get this kind of error, because CXF doesn’t add the XML processing instruction <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>:

Error:sendSms: SoapFault exception: [Client] looks like we got no XML document in [...]
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

To resolve this issue, you just need to tell StaxOutInterceptor to write the XML start document for you, as in the WriteXmlDeclarationInterceptor below:

public class WriteXmlDeclarationInterceptor extends AbstractPhaseInterceptor<SoapMessage> {
    public WriteXmlDeclarationInterceptor() {
        super(Phase.PRE_STREAM);
        addBefore(StaxOutInterceptor.class.getName());
    }

    public void handleMessage(SoapMessage message) throws Fault {
        message.put("org.apache.cxf.stax.force-start-document", Boolean.TRUE);
    }

}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

As an alternative you can add a message header for it as demonstrated in CxfConsumerTest:

 // set up the response context which force start document
 Map<String, Object> map = new HashMap<String, Object>();
 map.put("org.apache.cxf.stax.force-start-document", Boolean.TRUE);
 exchange.getOut().setHeader(Client.RESPONSE_CONTEXT, map);

29.9. How to override the CXF producer address from message header

The camel-cxf producer supports to override the target service address by setting a message header CamelDestinationOverrideUrl.

 // set up the service address from the message header to override the setting of CXF endpoint
 exchange.getIn().setHeader(Exchange.DESTINATION_OVERRIDE_URL, constant(getServiceAddress()));

29.10. How to consume a message from a camel-cxf endpoint in POJO data format

The camel-cxf endpoint consumer POJO data format is based on the CXF invoker, so the message header has a property with the name of CxfConstants.OPERATION_NAME and the message body is a list of the SEI method parameters.

Consider the PersonProcessor example code:

public class PersonProcessor implements Processor {

    private static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(PersonProcessor.class);

    @Override
    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    public void process(Exchange exchange) throws Exception {
        LOG.info("processing exchange in camel");

        BindingOperationInfo boi = (BindingOperationInfo) exchange.getProperty(BindingOperationInfo.class.getName());
        if (boi != null) {
            LOG.info("boi.isUnwrapped" + boi.isUnwrapped());
        }
        // Get the parameters list which element is the holder.
        MessageContentsList msgList = (MessageContentsList) exchange.getIn().getBody();
        Holder<String> personId = (Holder<String>) msgList.get(0);
        Holder<String> ssn = (Holder<String>) msgList.get(1);
        Holder<String> name = (Holder<String>) msgList.get(2);

        if (personId.value == null || personId.value.length() == 0) {
            LOG.info("person id 123, so throwing exception");
            // Try to throw out the soap fault message
            org.apache.camel.wsdl_first.types.UnknownPersonFault personFault
                    = new org.apache.camel.wsdl_first.types.UnknownPersonFault();
            personFault.setPersonId("");
            org.apache.camel.wsdl_first.UnknownPersonFault fault
                    = new org.apache.camel.wsdl_first.UnknownPersonFault("Get the null value of person name", personFault);
            exchange.getMessage().setBody(fault);
            return;
        }

        name.value = "Bonjour";
        ssn.value = "123";
        LOG.info("setting Bonjour as the response");
        // Set the response message, first element is the return value of the operation,
        // the others are the holders of method parameters
        exchange.getMessage().setBody(new Object[] { null, personId, ssn, name });
    }

}

29.11. How to prepare the message for the camel-cxf endpoint in POJO data format

The camel-cxf endpoint producer is based on the CXF client API. First you need to specify the operation name in the message header, then add the method parameters to a list, and initialize the message with this parameter list. The response message’s body is a messageContentsList, you can get the result from that list.

If you don’t specify the operation name in the message header, CxfProducer will try to use the defaultOperationName from CxfEndpoint, if there is no defaultOperationName set on CxfEndpoint, it will pick up the first operationName from the Operation list.

If you want to get the object array from the message body, you can get the body using message.getBody(Object[].class), as shown in CxfProducerRouterTest.testInvokingSimpleServerWithParams:

Exchange senderExchange = new DefaultExchange(context, ExchangePattern.InOut);
final List<String> params = new ArrayList<>();
// Prepare the request message for the camel-cxf procedure
params.add(TEST_MESSAGE);
senderExchange.getIn().setBody(params);
senderExchange.getIn().setHeader(CxfConstants.OPERATION_NAME, ECHO_OPERATION);

Exchange exchange = template.send("direct:EndpointA", senderExchange);

org.apache.camel.Message out = exchange.getMessage();
// The response message's body is an MessageContentsList which first element is the return value of the operation,
// If there are some holder parameters, the holder parameter will be filled in the reset of List.
// The result will be extract from the MessageContentsList with the String class type
MessageContentsList result = (MessageContentsList) out.getBody();
LOG.info("Received output text: " + result.get(0));
Map<String, Object> responseContext = CastUtils.cast((Map<?, ?>) out.getHeader(Client.RESPONSE_CONTEXT));
assertNotNull(responseContext);
assertEquals("UTF-8", responseContext.get(org.apache.cxf.message.Message.ENCODING),
        "We should get the response context here");
assertEquals("echo " + TEST_MESSAGE, result.get(0), "Reply body on Camel is wrong");

29.12. How to deal with the message for a camel-cxf endpoint in PAYLOAD data format

PAYLOAD means that you process the payload from the SOAP envelope as a native CxfPayload. Message.getBody() will return a org.apache.camel.component.cxf.CxfPayload object, with getters for SOAP message headers and the SOAP body.

See CxfConsumerPayloadTest:

protected RouteBuilder createRouteBuilder() {
    return new RouteBuilder() {
        public void configure() {
            from(simpleEndpointURI + "&dataFormat=PAYLOAD").to("log:info").process(new Processor() {
                @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
                public void process(final Exchange exchange) throws Exception {
                    CxfPayload<SoapHeader> requestPayload = exchange.getIn().getBody(CxfPayload.class);
                    List<Source> inElements = requestPayload.getBodySources();
                    List<Source> outElements = new ArrayList<>();
                    // You can use a customer toStringConverter to turn a CxfPayLoad message into String as you want
                    String request = exchange.getIn().getBody(String.class);
                    XmlConverter converter = new XmlConverter();
                    String documentString = ECHO_RESPONSE;

                    Element in = new XmlConverter().toDOMElement(inElements.get(0));
                    // Just check the element namespace
                    if (!in.getNamespaceURI().equals(ELEMENT_NAMESPACE)) {
                        throw new IllegalArgumentException("Wrong element namespace");
                    }
                    if (in.getLocalName().equals("echoBoolean")) {
                        documentString = ECHO_BOOLEAN_RESPONSE;
                        checkRequest("ECHO_BOOLEAN_REQUEST", request);
                    } else {
                        documentString = ECHO_RESPONSE;
                        checkRequest("ECHO_REQUEST", request);
                    }
                    Document outDocument = converter.toDOMDocument(documentString, exchange);
                    outElements.add(new DOMSource(outDocument.getDocumentElement()));
                    // set the payload header with null
                    CxfPayload<SoapHeader> responsePayload = new CxfPayload<>(null, outElements, null);
                    exchange.getMessage().setBody(responsePayload);
                }
            });

29.13. How to get and set SOAP headers in POJO mode

POJO means that the data format is a "list of Java objects" when the camel-cxf endpoint produces or consumes Camel exchanges. Even though Camel exposes the message body as POJOs in this mode, camel-cxf still provides access to read and write SOAP headers. However, since CXF interceptors remove in-band SOAP headers from the header list after they have been processed, only out-of-band SOAP headers are available to camel-cxf in POJO mode.

The following example illustrates how to get/set SOAP headers. Suppose we have a route that forwards from one Camel-cxf endpoint to another. That is, SOAP Client → Camel → CXF service. We can attach two processors to obtain/insert SOAP headers at (1) before a request goes out to the CXF service and (2) before the response comes back to the SOAP Client. Processor (1) and (2) in this example are InsertRequestOutHeaderProcessor and InsertResponseOutHeaderProcessor. Our route looks like this:

from("cxf:bean:routerRelayEndpointWithInsertion")
    .process(new InsertRequestOutHeaderProcessor())
    .to("cxf:bean:serviceRelayEndpointWithInsertion")
    .process(new InsertResponseOutHeaderProcessor());
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

The Bean routerRelayEndpointWithInsertion and serviceRelayEndpointWithInsertion are defined as follows:

@Bean
public CxfEndpoint routerRelayEndpointWithInsertion() {
    CxfSpringEndpoint cxfEndpoint = new CxfSpringEndpoint();
    cxfEndpoint.setServiceClass(org.apache.camel.component.cxf.soap.headers.HeaderTester.class);
    cxfEndpoint.setAddress("/CxfMessageHeadersRelayTest/HeaderService/routerRelayEndpointWithInsertion");
    cxfEndpoint.setWsdlURL("soap_header.wsdl");
    cxfEndpoint.setEndpointNameAsQName(
        QName.valueOf("{http://apache.org/camel/component/cxf/soap/headers}SoapPortRelayWithInsertion"));
    cxfEndpoint.setServiceNameAsQName(SERVICENAME);
    cxfEndpoint.getFeatures().add(new LoggingFeature());
    return cxfEndpoint;
}

@Bean
public CxfEndpoint serviceRelayEndpointWithInsertion() {
    CxfSpringEndpoint cxfEndpoint = new CxfSpringEndpoint();
    cxfEndpoint.setServiceClass(org.apache.camel.component.cxf.soap.headers.HeaderTester.class);
    cxfEndpoint.setAddress("http://localhost:" + port + "/services/CxfMessageHeadersRelayTest/HeaderService/routerRelayEndpointWithInsertionBackend");
    cxfEndpoint.setWsdlURL("soap_header.wsdl");
    cxfEndpoint.setEndpointNameAsQName(
        QName.valueOf("{http://apache.org/camel/component/cxf/soap/headers}SoapPortRelayWithInsertion"));
    cxfEndpoint.setServiceNameAsQName(SERVICENAME);
    cxfEndpoint.getFeatures().add(new LoggingFeature());
    return cxfEndpoint;
}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

SOAP headers are propagated to and from Camel Message headers. The Camel message header name is "org.apache.cxf.headers.Header.list" which is a constant defined in CXF (org.apache.cxf.headers.Header.HEADER_LIST). The header value is a List of CXF SoapHeader objects (org.apache.cxf.binding.soap.SoapHeader). The following snippet is the InsertResponseOutHeaderProcessor (that insert a new SOAP header in the response message). The way to access SOAP headers in both InsertResponseOutHeaderProcessor and InsertRequestOutHeaderProcessor are actually the same. The only difference between the two processors is setting the direction of the inserted SOAP header.

You can find the InsertResponseOutHeaderProcessor example in CxfMessageHeadersRelayTest:

public static class InsertResponseOutHeaderProcessor implements Processor {

    public void process(Exchange exchange) throws Exception {
        List<SoapHeader> soapHeaders = CastUtils.cast((List<?>)exchange.getIn().getHeader(Header.HEADER_LIST));

        // Insert a new header
        String xml = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?><outofbandHeader "

29.14. How to get and set SOAP headers in PAYLOAD mode

We’ve already shown how to access the SOAP message as CxfPayload object in PAYLOAD mode inm the section How to deal with the message for a camel-cxf endpoint in PAYLOAD data format.

Once you obtain a CxfPayload object, you can invoke the CxfPayload.getHeaders() method that returns a List of DOM Elements (SOAP headers).

For an example see CxfPayLoadSoapHeaderTest:

from(getRouterEndpointURI()).process(new Processor() {
    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    public void process(Exchange exchange) throws Exception {
        CxfPayload<SoapHeader> payload = exchange.getIn().getBody(CxfPayload.class);
        List<Source> elements = payload.getBodySources();
        assertNotNull(elements, "We should get the elements here");
        assertEquals(1, elements.size(), "Get the wrong elements size");

        Element el = new XmlConverter().toDOMElement(elements.get(0));
        elements.set(0, new DOMSource(el));
        assertEquals("http://camel.apache.org/pizza/types",
                el.getNamespaceURI(), "Get the wrong namespace URI");

        List<SoapHeader> headers = payload.getHeaders();
        assertNotNull(headers, "We should get the headers here");
        assertEquals(1, headers.size(), "Get the wrong headers size");
        assertEquals("http://camel.apache.org/pizza/types",
                ((Element) (headers.get(0).getObject())).getNamespaceURI(), "Get the wrong namespace URI");
        // alternatively you can also get the SOAP header via the camel header:
        headers = exchange.getIn().getHeader(Header.HEADER_LIST, List.class);
        assertNotNull(headers, "We should get the headers here");
        assertEquals(1, headers.size(), "Get the wrong headers size");
        assertEquals("http://camel.apache.org/pizza/types",
                ((Element) (headers.get(0).getObject())).getNamespaceURI(), "Get the wrong namespace URI");

    }

})
.to(getServiceEndpointURI());
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

You can also use the same way as described in sub-chapter "How to get and set SOAP headers in POJO mode" to set or get the SOAP headers. So, you can use the header "org.apache.cxf.headers.Header.list" to get and set a list of SOAP headers.This does also mean that if you have a route that forwards from one Camel-cxf endpoint to another (SOAP Client → Camel → CXF service), now also the SOAP headers sent by the SOAP client are forwarded to the CXF service. If you do not want that these headers are forwarded you have to remove them in the Camel header "org.apache.cxf.headers.Header.list".

29.15. SOAP headers are not available in RAW mode

SOAP headers are not available in RAW mode as SOAP processing is skipped.

29.16. How to throw a SOAP Fault from Camel

If you are using a camel-cxf endpoint to consume the SOAP request, you may need to throw the SOAP Fault from the camel context.
Basically, you can use the throwFault DSL to do that; it works for POJO, PAYLOAD and MESSAGE data format.
You can define the soap fault as shown in CxfCustomizedExceptionTest:

SOAP_FAULT = new SoapFault(EXCEPTION_MESSAGE, SoapFault.FAULT_CODE_CLIENT);
Element detail = SOAP_FAULT.getOrCreateDetail();
Document doc = detail.getOwnerDocument();
Text tn = doc.createTextNode(DETAIL_TEXT);
detail.appendChild(tn);
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Then throw it as you like

from(routerEndpointURI).setFaultBody(constant(SOAP_FAULT));
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

If your CXF endpoint is working in the MESSAGE data format, you could set the SOAP Fault message in the message body and set the response code in the message header as demonstrated by CxfMessageStreamExceptionTest

from(routerEndpointURI).process(new Processor() {

    public void process(Exchange exchange) throws Exception {
        Message out = exchange.getOut();
        // Set the message body with the
        out.setBody(this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("SoapFaultMessage.xml"));
        // Set the response code here
        out.setHeader(org.apache.cxf.message.Message.RESPONSE_CODE, new Integer(500));
    }

});
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Same for using POJO data format. You can set the SOAPFault on the out body.

29.17. How to propagate a camel-cxf endpoint’s request and response context

CXF client API provides a way to invoke the operation with request and response context. If you are using a camel-cxf endpoint producer to invoke the outside web service, you can set the request context and get response context with the following code:

        CxfExchange exchange = (CxfExchange)template.send(getJaxwsEndpointUri(), new Processor() {
             public void process(final Exchange exchange) {
                 final List<String> params = new ArrayList<String>();
                 params.add(TEST_MESSAGE);
                 // Set the request context to the inMessage
                 Map<String, Object> requestContext = new HashMap<String, Object>();
                 requestContext.put(BindingProvider.ENDPOINT_ADDRESS_PROPERTY, JAXWS_SERVER_ADDRESS);
                 exchange.getIn().setBody(params);
                 exchange.getIn().setHeader(Client.REQUEST_CONTEXT , requestContext);
                 exchange.getIn().setHeader(CxfConstants.OPERATION_NAME, GREET_ME_OPERATION);
             }
         });
         org.apache.camel.Message out = exchange.getOut();
         // The output is an object array, the first element of the array is the return value
         Object\[\] output = out.getBody(Object\[\].class);
         LOG.info("Received output text: " + output\[0\]);
         // Get the response context form outMessage
         Map<String, Object> responseContext = CastUtils.cast((Map)out.getHeader(Client.RESPONSE_CONTEXT));
         assertNotNull(responseContext);
         assertEquals("Get the wrong wsdl operation name", "{http://apache.org/hello_world_soap_http}greetMe",
                      responseContext.get("javax.xml.ws.wsdl.operation").toString());

29.18. Attachment Support

POJO Mode: Both SOAP with Attachment and MTOM are supported (see example in Payload Mode for enabling MTOM). However, SOAP with Attachment is not tested. Since attachments are marshalled and unmarshalled into POJOs, users typically do not need to deal with the attachment themself. Attachments are propagated to Camel message’s attachments if the MTOM is not enabled. So, it is possible to retrieve attachments by Camel Message API

DataHandler Message.getAttachment(String id)
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Payload Mode: MTOM is supported by the component. Attachments can be retrieved by Camel Message APIs mentioned above. SOAP with Attachment (SwA) is supported and attachments can be retrieved. SwA is the default (same as setting the CXF endpoint property "mtom-enabled" to false).

To enable MTOM, set the CXF endpoint property "mtom-enabled" to true.

@Bean
public CxfEndpoint routerEndpoint() {
    CxfSpringEndpoint cxfEndpoint = new CxfSpringEndpoint();
    cxfEndpoint.setServiceNameAsQName(SERVICE_QNAME);
    cxfEndpoint.setEndpointNameAsQName(PORT_QNAME);
    cxfEndpoint.setAddress("/" + getClass().getSimpleName()+ "/jaxws-mtom/hello");
    cxfEndpoint.setWsdlURL("mtom.wsdl");
    Map<String, Object> properties = new HashMap<String, Object>();
    properties.put("dataFormat", "PAYLOAD");
    properties.put("mtom-enabled", true);
    cxfEndpoint.setProperties(properties);
    return cxfEndpoint;
}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

You can produce a Camel message with attachment to send to a CXF endpoint in Payload mode.

Exchange exchange = context.createProducerTemplate().send("direct:testEndpoint", new Processor() {

    public void process(Exchange exchange) throws Exception {
        exchange.setPattern(ExchangePattern.InOut);
        List<Source> elements = new ArrayList<Source>();
        elements.add(new DOMSource(DOMUtils.readXml(new StringReader(MtomTestHelper.REQ_MESSAGE)).getDocumentElement()));
        CxfPayload<SoapHeader> body = new CxfPayload<SoapHeader>(new ArrayList<SoapHeader>(),
            elements, null);
        exchange.getIn().setBody(body);
        exchange.getIn().addAttachment(MtomTestHelper.REQ_PHOTO_CID,
            new DataHandler(new ByteArrayDataSource(MtomTestHelper.REQ_PHOTO_DATA, "application/octet-stream")));

        exchange.getIn().addAttachment(MtomTestHelper.REQ_IMAGE_CID,
            new DataHandler(new ByteArrayDataSource(MtomTestHelper.requestJpeg, "image/jpeg")));

    }

});

// process response

CxfPayload<SoapHeader> out = exchange.getOut().getBody(CxfPayload.class);
Assert.assertEquals(1, out.getBody().size());

Map<String, String> ns = new HashMap<String, String>();
ns.put("ns", MtomTestHelper.SERVICE_TYPES_NS);
ns.put("xop", MtomTestHelper.XOP_NS);

XPathUtils xu = new XPathUtils(ns);
Element oute = new XmlConverter().toDOMElement(out.getBody().get(0));
Element ele = (Element)xu.getValue("//ns:DetailResponse/ns:photo/xop:Include", oute,
                                   XPathConstants.NODE);
String photoId = ele.getAttribute("href").substring(4); // skip "cid:"

ele = (Element)xu.getValue("//ns:DetailResponse/ns:image/xop:Include", oute,
                                   XPathConstants.NODE);
String imageId = ele.getAttribute("href").substring(4); // skip "cid:"

DataHandler dr = exchange.getOut().getAttachment(photoId);
Assert.assertEquals("application/octet-stream", dr.getContentType());
MtomTestHelper.assertEquals(MtomTestHelper.RESP_PHOTO_DATA, IOUtils.readBytesFromStream(dr.getInputStream()));

dr = exchange.getOut().getAttachment(imageId);
Assert.assertEquals("image/jpeg", dr.getContentType());

BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(dr.getInputStream());
Assert.assertEquals(560, image.getWidth());
Assert.assertEquals(300, image.getHeight());

You can also consume a Camel message received from a CXF endpoint in Payload mode. The CxfMtomConsumerPayloadModeTest illustrates how this works:

public static class MyProcessor implements Processor {

    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    public void process(Exchange exchange) throws Exception {
        CxfPayload<SoapHeader> in = exchange.getIn().getBody(CxfPayload.class);

        // verify request
        Assert.assertEquals(1, in.getBody().size());

        Map<String, String> ns = new HashMap<String, String>();
        ns.put("ns", MtomTestHelper.SERVICE_TYPES_NS);
        ns.put("xop", MtomTestHelper.XOP_NS);

        XPathUtils xu = new XPathUtils(ns);
        Element body = new XmlConverter().toDOMElement(in.getBody().get(0));
        Element ele = (Element)xu.getValue("//ns:Detail/ns:photo/xop:Include", body,
                                           XPathConstants.NODE);
        String photoId = ele.getAttribute("href").substring(4); // skip "cid:"
        Assert.assertEquals(MtomTestHelper.REQ_PHOTO_CID, photoId);

        ele = (Element)xu.getValue("//ns:Detail/ns:image/xop:Include", body,
                                           XPathConstants.NODE);
        String imageId = ele.getAttribute("href").substring(4); // skip "cid:"
        Assert.assertEquals(MtomTestHelper.REQ_IMAGE_CID, imageId);

        DataHandler dr = exchange.getIn().getAttachment(photoId);
        Assert.assertEquals("application/octet-stream", dr.getContentType());
        MtomTestHelper.assertEquals(MtomTestHelper.REQ_PHOTO_DATA, IOUtils.readBytesFromStream(dr.getInputStream()));

        dr = exchange.getIn().getAttachment(imageId);
        Assert.assertEquals("image/jpeg", dr.getContentType());
        MtomTestHelper.assertEquals(MtomTestHelper.requestJpeg, IOUtils.readBytesFromStream(dr.getInputStream()));

        // create response
        List<Source> elements = new ArrayList<Source>();
        elements.add(new DOMSource(DOMUtils.readXml(new StringReader(MtomTestHelper.RESP_MESSAGE)).getDocumentElement()));
        CxfPayload<SoapHeader> sbody = new CxfPayload<SoapHeader>(new ArrayList<SoapHeader>(),
            elements, null);
        exchange.getOut().setBody(sbody);
        exchange.getOut().addAttachment(MtomTestHelper.RESP_PHOTO_CID,
            new DataHandler(new ByteArrayDataSource(MtomTestHelper.RESP_PHOTO_DATA, "application/octet-stream")));

        exchange.getOut().addAttachment(MtomTestHelper.RESP_IMAGE_CID,
            new DataHandler(new ByteArrayDataSource(MtomTestHelper.responseJpeg, "image/jpeg")));

    }
}

Raw Mode: Attachments are not supported as it does not process the message at all.

CXF_RAW Mode: MTOM is supported, and Attachments can be retrieved by Camel Message APIs mentioned above. Note that when receiving a multipart (i.e. MTOM) message the default SOAPMessage to String converter will provide the complete multipart payload on the body. If you require just the SOAP XML as a String, you can set the message body with message.getSOAPPart(), and Camel convert can do the rest of work for you.

29.19. Streaming Support in PAYLOAD mode

The camel-cxf component now supports streaming of incoming messages when using PAYLOAD mode. Previously, the incoming messages would have been completely DOM parsed. For large messages, this is time consuming and uses a significant amount of memory. The incoming messages can remain as a javax.xml.transform.Source while being routed and, if nothing modifies the payload, can then be directly streamed out to the target destination. For common "simple proxy" use cases (example: from("cxf:…​").to("cxf:…​")), this can provide very significant performance increases as well as significantly lowered memory requirements.

However, there are cases where streaming may not be appropriate or desired. Due to the streaming nature, invalid incoming XML may not be caught until later in the processing chain. Also, certain actions may require the message to be DOM parsed anyway (like WS-Security or message tracing and such) in which case the advantages of the streaming is limited. At this point, there are two ways to control the streaming:

  • Endpoint property: you can add "allowStreaming=false" as an endpoint property to turn the streaming on/off.
  • Component property: the CxfComponent object also has an allowStreaming property that can set the default for endpoints created from that component.

Global system property: you can add a system property of "org.apache.camel.component.cxf.streaming" to "false" to turn it off. That sets the global default, but setting the endpoint property above will override this value for that endpoint.

29.20. Using the generic CXF Dispatch mode

The camel-cxf component supports the generic CXF dispatch mode that can transport messages of arbitrary structures (i.e., not bound to a specific XML schema). To use this mode, you simply omit specifying the wsdlURL and serviceClass attributes of the CXF endpoint.

<cxf:cxfEndpoint id="testEndpoint" address="http://localhost:9000/SoapContext/SoapAnyPort">
     <cxf:properties>
       <entry key="dataFormat" value="PAYLOAD"/>
     </cxf:properties>
   </cxf:cxfEndpoint>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

It is noted that the default CXF dispatch client does not send a specific SOAPAction header. Therefore, when the target service requires a specific SOAPAction value, it is supplied in the Camel header using the key SOAPAction (case-insensitive).

29.21. Spring Boot Auto-Configuration

The component supports 13 options, which are listed below.

Expand
NameDescriptionDefaultType

camel.component.cxf.allow-streaming

This option controls whether the CXF component, when running in PAYLOAD mode, will DOM parse the incoming messages into DOM Elements or keep the payload as a javax.xml.transform.Source object that would allow streaming in some cases.

 

Boolean

camel.component.cxf.autowired-enabled

Whether autowiring is enabled. This is used for automatic autowiring options (the option must be marked as autowired) by looking up in the registry to find if there is a single instance of matching type, which then gets configured on the component. This can be used for automatic configuring JDBC data sources, JMS connection factories, AWS Clients, etc.

true

Boolean

camel.component.cxf.bridge-error-handler

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

camel.component.cxf.enabled

Whether to enable auto configuration of the cxf component. This is enabled by default.

 

Boolean

camel.component.cxf.header-filter-strategy

To use a custom org.apache.camel.spi.HeaderFilterStrategy to filter header to and from Camel message. The option is a org.apache.camel.spi.HeaderFilterStrategy type.

 

HeaderFilterStrategy

camel.component.cxf.lazy-start-producer

Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

false

Boolean

camel.component.cxf.use-global-ssl-context-parameters

Enable usage of global SSL context parameters.

false

Boolean

camel.component.cxfrs.autowired-enabled

Whether autowiring is enabled. This is used for automatic autowiring options (the option must be marked as autowired) by looking up in the registry to find if there is a single instance of matching type, which then gets configured on the component. This can be used for automatic configuring JDBC data sources, JMS connection factories, AWS Clients, etc.

Chapter 30. CXF-RS

Both producer and consumer are supported

The CXFRS component provides integration with Apache CXF for connecting to JAX-RS 1.1 and 2.0 services hosted in CXF.

30.1. Dependencies

When using camel-cxf-rest with Red Hat build of Camel Spring Boot, add the following Maven dependency to your pom.xml to have support for auto configuration:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-cxf-rest-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

30.2. URI format

cxfrs://address?options
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Where the address represents the address of the CXF endpoint.

cxfrs:bean:rsEndpoint
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Where the rsEndpoint represents the name of the spring bean, which presents the CXFRS client or server.

For the formats above, you can append options to the URI as follows:

cxfrs:bean:cxfEndpoint?resourceClasses=org.apache.camel.rs.Example
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

30.3. Configuring Options

Camel components are configured on two separate levels:

  • component level
  • endpoint level

30.3.1. Configuring Component Options

At the component level, you set general and shared configurations that are, then, inherited by the endpoints. It is the highest configuration level. For example, a component may have security settings, credentials for authentication, urls for network connection and so forth. Some components only have a few options, and others may have many. Because components typically have pre-configured defaults that are commonly used, then you may often only need to configure a few options on a component; or none at all.

You can configure components using:

  • the Component DSL.
  • in a configuration file (application.properties, *.yaml files, etc).
  • directly in the Java code.

30.3.2. Configuring Endpoint Options

You usually spend more time setting up endpoints because they have many options. These options help you customize what you want the endpoint to do. The options are also categorized into whether the endpoint is used as a consumer (from), as a producer (to), or both.

Configuring endpoints is most often done directly in the endpoint URI as path and query parameters. You can also use the Endpoint DSL and DataFormat DSL as a type safe way of configuring endpoints and data formats in Java.

A good practice when configuring options is to use Property Placeholders.

Property placeholders provide a few benefits:

  • They help prevent using hardcoded urls, port numbers, sensitive information, and other settings.
  • They allow externalizing the configuration from the code.
  • They help the code to become more flexible and reusable.

The following two sections list all the options, firstly for the component followed by the endpoint.

30.4. Component Options

The CXF-RS component supports 5 options, which are listed below.

NameDescriptionDefaultType

bridgeErrorHandler (consumer)

Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions (if possible) occurred while the Camel consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. Important: This is only possible if the 3rd party component allows Camel to be alerted if an exception was thrown. Some components handle this internally only, and therefore bridgeErrorHandler is not possible. In other situations we may improve the Camel component to hook into the 3rd party component and make this possible for future releases. 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

lazyStartProducer (producer)

Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

boolean

autowiredEnabled (advanced)

Whether autowiring is enabled.

This can be used for automatic configuring JDBC data sources, JMS connection factories, AWS Clients, etc.

true

Expand
NameDescriptionDefaultType

beanId (common)

To lookup an existing configured CxfRsEndpoint. Must use bean: as prefix.

 

String

address (common)

The service publish address.

 

String

Expand
NameDescriptionDefaultType

features (common)

Set the feature list to the CxfRs endpoint.

 

List

loggingFeatureEnabled (common)

This option enables CXF Logging Feature which writes inbound and outbound REST messages to log.

false

boolean

loggingSizeLimit (common)

To limit the total size of number of bytes the logger will output when logging feature has been enabled.

 

int

modelRef (common)

This option is used to specify the model file which is useful for the resource class without annotation. When using this option, then the service class can be omitted, to emulate document-only endpoints.

 

String

providers (common)

Set custom JAX-RS provider(s) list to the CxfRs endpoint. You can specify a string with a list of providers to lookup in the registy separated by comma.

 

String

resourceClasses (common)

The resource classes which you want to export as REST service. Multiple classes can be separated by comma.

 

List

schemaLocations (common)

Sets the locations of the schema(s) which can be used to validate the incoming XML or JAXB-driven JSON.

 

List

skipFaultLogging (common)

This option controls whether the PhaseInterceptorChain skips logging the Fault that it catches.

false

boolean

bindingStyle (consumer)

Sets how requests and responses will be mapped to/from Camel. Two values are possible: SimpleConsumer: This binding style processes request parameters, multiparts, etc. and maps them to IN headers, IN attachments and to the message body. It aims to eliminate low-level processing of org.apache.cxf.message.MessageContentsList. It also also adds more flexibility and simplicity to the response mapping. Only available for consumers. Default: The default style. For consumers this passes on a MessageContentsList to the route, requiring low-level processing in the route. This is the traditional binding style, which simply dumps the org.apache.cxf.message.MessageContentsList coming in from the CXF stack onto the IN message body. The user is then responsible for processing it according to the contract defined by the JAX-RS method signature. Custom: allows you to specify a custom binding through the binding option.

Enum values:

  • SimpleConsumer
  • Default
  • Custom

Default

BindingStyle

publishedEndpointUrl (consumer)

This option can override the endpointUrl that published from the WADL which can be accessed with resource address url plus _wadl.

 

String

bridgeErrorHandler (consumer (advanced))

Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions (if possible) occurred while the Camel consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. Important: This is only possible if the 3rd party component allows Camel to be alerted if an exception was thrown. Some components handle this internally only, and therefore bridgeErrorHandler is not possible. In other situations we may improve the Camel component to hook into the 3rd party component and make this possible for future releases. 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 (advanced))

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 (advanced))

Sets the exchange pattern when the consumer creates an exchange.

Enum values:

  • InOnly
  • InOut
 

ExchangePattern

throwExceptionOnFailure (producer)

This option tells the CxfRsProducer to inspect return codes and will generate an Exception if the return code is larger than 207.

true

boolean

httpClientAPI (producer (advanced))

If it is true, the CxfRsProducer will use the HttpClientAPI to invoke the service. If it is false, the CxfRsProducer will use the ProxyClientAPI to invoke the service.

true

lazyStartProducer (producer (advanced))

Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

false

boolean

maxClientCacheSize (producer (advanced))

This option allows you to configure the maximum size of the cache. The implementation caches CXF clients or ClientFactoryBean in CxfProvider and CxfRsProvider.

You can also configure the CXF REST endpoint through the spring configuration.

Note

Avoid creating your own HTTP server instances in a Camel Spring Boot application by using either of the cxf-rt-transports-jetty, cxf-rt-transports-netty-server, cxf-rt-transports-undertow libraries. It is recommended to use the Spring Boot embedded HTTP server stack which is created when you use the spring-boot-starter-web, cxf-spring-boot-starter-jaxrs, or cxf-spring-boot-starter-jaxws dependencies.

Note

Since there are lots of differences between the CXF REST client and CXF REST Server, we provide different configuration for them.

+ Please check the following files for more details:

30.7. How to configure the REST endpoint in Camel

In the camel-cxf schema file, there are two elements for the REST endpoint definition:

  • cxf:rsServer for REST consumer
  • cxf:rsClient for REST producer.

You can find a Camel REST service route configuration example there.

30.8. How to override the CXF producer address from message header

The camel-cxfrs producer supports overriding the service address by setting the message with the key of CamelDestinationOverrideUrl.

 // set up the service address from the message header to override the setting of CXF endpoint
 exchange.getIn().setHeader(Exchange.DESTINATION_OVERRIDE_URL, constant(getServiceAddress()));

30.9. Consuming a REST Request - Simple Binding Style

Since Camel 2.11

The Default binding style is rather low-level, requiring the user to manually process the MessageContentsList object coming into the route. Thus, it tightly couples the route logic with the method signature and parameter indices of the JAX-RS operation which is somewhat inelegant, difficult and error-prone.

In contrast, the SimpleConsumer binding style performs the following mappings, to make the request data more accessible to you within the Camel Message:

  • JAX-RS Parameters (@HeaderParam, @QueryParam, etc.) are injected as IN message headers. The header name matches the value of the annotation.
  • The request entity (POJO or another type) becomes the IN message body. If a single entity cannot be identified in the JAX-RS method signature, it falls back to the original MessageContentsList.
  • Binary @Multipart body parts become IN message attachments, supporting DataHandler, InputStream, DataSource and CXF’s Attachment class.
  • Non-binary @Multipart body parts are mapped as IN message headers. The header name matches the Body Part name.

Additionally, the following rules apply to the Response mapping:

  • If the message body type is different to javax.ws.rs.core.Response (user-built response), a new Response is created and the message body is set as the entity (so long it’s not null). The response status code is taken from the Exchange.HTTP_RESPONSE_CODE header, or defaults to 200 OK if not present.
  • If the message body type is equal to javax.ws.rs.core.Response, it means that the user has built a custom response, and therefore it is respected, and it becomes the final response.
  • In all cases, Camel headers permitted by custom or default HeaderFilterStrategy are added to the HTTP response.

30.9.1. Enabling the Simple Binding Style

This binding style can be activated by setting the bindingStyle parameter in the consumer endpoint to value SimpleConsumer:

  from("cxfrs:bean:rsServer?bindingStyle=SimpleConsumer")
    .to("log:TEST?showAll=true");

30.9.2. Examples of request binding with different method signatures

Below is a list of method signatures along with the expected result from the simple binding:

  • public Response doAction(BusinessObject request);: the request payload is placed in tbe IN message body, replacing the original MessageContentsList.
  • public Response doAction(BusinessObject request, @HeaderParam("abcd") String abcd, @QueryParam("defg") String defg);: the request payload is placed in the IN message body, replacing the original MessageContentsList. Both request parameters are mapped as IN message headers with names "abcd" and "defg".
  • public Response doAction(@HeaderParam("abcd") String abcd, @QueryParam("defg") String defg);: both request parameters are mapped as the IN message headers with names "abcd" and "defg". The original MessageContentsList is preserved, even though it only contains the two parameters.
  • public Response doAction(@Multipart(value="body1") BusinessObject request, @Multipart(value="body2") BusinessObject request2);: the first parameter is transferred as a header with name "body1", and the second one is mapped as header "body2". The original MessageContentsList is preserved as the IN message body.
  • public Response doAction(InputStream abcd);: the InputStream is unwrapped from the MessageContentsList and preserved as the IN message body.
  • public Response doAction(DataHandler abcd);: the DataHandler is unwrapped from the MessageContentsList and preserved as the IN message body.

30.9.3. Examples of the Simple Binding Style

Given a JAX-RS resource class with this method:

@POST @Path("/customers/{type}")
public Response newCustomer(Customer customer, @PathParam("type") String type, @QueryParam("active") @DefaultValue("true") boolean active) {
    return null;
}

30.10. Consuming a REST Request - Default Binding Style

The CXF JAXRS front end implements the JAX-RS (JSR-311) API, so we can export the resource classes as a REST service. We leverage the CXF Invoker API to turn a REST request into a normal Java object method invocation.There is no need to specify the URI template within your endpoint. The CXF takes care of the REST request URI to resource class method mapping according to the JSR-311 specification. All you need to do in Camel is delegate this method request to the right processor or endpoint.

CXFRS route example

private static final String CXF_RS_ENDPOINT_URI =
        "cxfrs://http://localhost:" + CXT + "/rest?resourceClasses=org.apache.camel.component.cxf.jaxrs.testbean.CustomerServiceResource";
private static final String CXF_RS_ENDPOINT_URI2 =
        "cxfrs://http://localhost:" + CXT + "/rest2?resourceClasses=org.apache.camel.component.cxf.jaxrs.testbean.CustomerService";
private static final String CXF_RS_ENDPOINT_URI3 =
        "cxfrs://http://localhost:" + CXT + "/rest3?"
        + "resourceClasses=org.apache.camel.component.cxf.jaxrs.testbean.CustomerServiceNoAnnotations&"
        + "modelRef=classpath:/org/apache/camel/component/cxf/jaxrs/CustomerServiceModel.xml";
private static final String CXF_RS_ENDPOINT_URI4 =
        "cxfrs://http://localhost:" + CXT + "/rest4?"
        + "modelRef=classpath:/org/apache/camel/component/cxf/jaxrs/CustomerServiceDefaultHandlerModel.xml";
private static final String CXF_RS_ENDPOINT_URI5 =
        "cxfrs://http://localhost:" + CXT + "/rest5?"
        + "propagateContexts=true&"
        + "modelRef=classpath:/org/apache/camel/component/cxf/jaxrs/CustomerServiceDefaultHandlerModel.xml";
protected RouteBuilder createRouteBuilder() throws Exception {
    final Processor testProcessor = new TestProcessor();
    final Processor testProcessor2 = new TestProcessor2();
    final Processor testProcessor3 = new TestProcessor3();
    return new RouteBuilder() {
        public void configure() {
            errorHandler(new NoErrorHandlerBuilder());
            from(CXF_RS_ENDPOINT_URI).process(testProcessor);
            from(CXF_RS_ENDPOINT_URI2).process(testProcessor);
            from(CXF_RS_ENDPOINT_URI3).process(testProcessor);
            from(CXF_RS_ENDPOINT_URI4).process(testProcessor2);
            from(CXF_RS_ENDPOINT_URI5).process(testProcessor3);
        }
    };
}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

And the corresponding resource class is used to configure the endpoint.

NOTE
By default, JAX-RS resource classes are only used to configure JAX-RS properties. Methods will not be executed during routing of messages to the endpoint. Instead, it is the responsibility of the route to do all processing.

It is sufficient to provide an interface only as opposed to a no-op service implementation class for the default mode.

If a performInvocation option is enabled, the service implementation will be invoked first, the response will be set on the Camel exchange, and the route execution will continue as usual. This can be useful for integrating the existing JAX-RS implementations into Camel routes and for post-processing JAX-RS Responses in custom processors.

@Path("/customerservice/")
public interface CustomerServiceResource {

    @GET
    @Path("/customers/{id}/")
    Customer getCustomer(@PathParam("id") String id);

    @PUT
    @Path("/customers/")
    Response updateCustomer(Customer customer);

    @Path("/{id}")
    @PUT()
    @Consumes({ "application/xml", "text/plain",
                    "application/json" })
    @Produces({ "application/xml", "text/plain",
                    "application/json" })
    Object invoke(@PathParam("id") String id,
                    String payload);
}

30.11. How to invoke the REST service through camel-cxfrs producer

The CXF JAXRS front end implements a proxy-based client API. With this API you can invoke the remote REST service through a proxy. The camel-cxfrs producer is based on this proxy API. You can specify the operation name in the message header and prepare the parameter in the message body, the camel-cxfrs producer will generate the right REST request for you.

Example

Exchange exchange = template.send("direct://proxy", new Processor() {
    public void process(Exchange exchange) throws Exception {
        exchange.setPattern(ExchangePattern.InOut);
        Message inMessage = exchange.getIn();
        // set the operation name
        inMessage.setHeader(CxfConstants.OPERATION_NAME, "getCustomer");
        // using the proxy client API
        inMessage.setHeader(CxfConstants.CAMEL_CXF_RS_USING_HTTP_API, Boolean.FALSE);
        // set a customer header
        inMessage.setHeader("key", "value");
        // set up the accepted content type
        inMessage.setHeader(Exchange.ACCEPT_CONTENT_TYPE, "application/json");
        // set the parameters, if you just have one parameter,
        // camel will put this object into an Object[] itself
        inMessage.setBody("123");
    }
});

// get the response message
Customer response = (Customer) exchange.getMessage().getBody();

assertNotNull(response, "The response should not be null");
assertEquals(123, response.getId(), "Get a wrong customer id");
assertEquals("John", response.getName(), "Get a wrong customer name");
assertEquals(200, exchange.getMessage().getHeader(Exchange.HTTP_RESPONSE_CODE), "Get a wrong response code");
assertEquals("value", exchange.getMessage().getHeader("key"), "Get a wrong header value");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

The CXF JAXRS front end also provides an HTTP centric client API. You can also invoke this API from camel-cxfrs producer. You need to specify the HTTP_PATH and the HTTP_METHOD and let the producer use the http centric client API by using the URI option httpClientAPI or by setting the message header CxfConstants.CAMEL_CXF_RS_USING_HTTP_API. You can turn the response object to the type class specified with the message header CxfConstants.CAMEL_CXF_RS_RESPONSE_CLASS.

Exchange exchange = template.send("direct://http", new Processor() {
    public void process(Exchange exchange) throws Exception {
        exchange.setPattern(ExchangePattern.InOut)
        Message inMessage = exchange.getIn();
        // using the http central client API
        inMessage.setHeader(CxfConstants.CAMEL_CXF_RS_USING_HTTP_API, Boolean.TRUE);
        // set the Http method
        inMessage.setHeader(Exchange.HTTP_METHOD, "GET");
        // set the relative path
        inMessage.setHeader(Exchange.HTTP_PATH, "/customerservice/customers/123");
        // Specify the response class, cxfrs will use InputStream as the response object type
        inMessage.setHeader(CxfConstants.CAMEL_CXF_RS_RESPONSE_CLASS, Customer.class);
        // set a customer header
        inMessage.setHeader("key", "value");
        // since we use the Get method, so we don't need to set the message body
        inMessage.setBody(null);
    }
});
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

You can also specify the query parameters from cxfrs URI for the CXFRS http centric client.

Exchange exchange = template.send("cxfrs://http://localhost:9003/testQuery?httpClientAPI=true&q1=12&q2=13"
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

To support the Dynamical routing, you can override the URI’s query parameters by using the CxfConstants.CAMEL_CXF_RS_QUERY_MAP header to set the parameter map for it.

Map<String, String> queryMap = new LinkedHashMap<>();
queryMap.put("q1", "new");
queryMap.put("q2", "world");
inMessage.setHeader(CxfConstants.CAMEL_CXF_RS_QUERY_MAP, queryMap);

Whether autowiring is enabled. This is used for automatic autowiring options (the option must be marked as autowired) by looking up in the registry to find if there is a single instance of matching type, which then gets configured on the component. This can be used for automatic configuring JDBC data sources, JMS connection factories, AWS Clients, etc.

true

Boolean

camel.component.cxfrs.bridge-error-handler

Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions (if possible) occurred while the Camel consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. Important: This is only possible if the 3rd party component allows Camel to be alerted if an exception was thrown. Some components handle this internally only, and therefore bridgeErrorHandler is not possible. In other situations we may improve the Camel component to hook into the 3rd party component and make this possible for future releases. 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.

Chapter 31. Data Format

Only producer is supported

The Dataformat component allows to use the Data Format as a Camel Component.

31.1. Dependencies

When using dataformat with Red Hat build of Camel Spring Boot make sure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for auto configuration:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-dataformat-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

31.2. URI format

dataformat:name:(marshal|unmarshal)[?options]
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Where name is the name of the Data Format. And then followed by the operation which must either be marshal or unmarshal. The options is used for configuring the Data Format in use. See the Data Format documentation for which options it support.

31.3. Configuring Options

Camel components are configured on two separate levels:

  • component level
  • endpoint level

31.3.1. Configuring Component Options

At the component level, you set general and shared configurations that are, then, inherited by the endpoints. It is the highest configuration level. For example, a component may have security settings, credentials for authentication, urls for network connection and so forth. Some components only have a few options, and others may have many. Because components typically have pre-configured defaults that are commonly used, then you may often only need to configure a few options on a component; or none at all.

You can configure components using:

  • the Component DSL.
  • in a configuration file (application.properties, *.yaml files, etc).
  • directly in the Java code.

31.3.2. Configuring Endpoint Options

You usually spend more time setting up endpoints because they have many options. These options help you customize what you want the endpoint to do. The options are also categorized into whether the endpoint is used as a consumer (from), as a producer (to), or both.

Configuring endpoints is most often done directly in the endpoint URI as path and query parameters. You can also use the Endpoint DSL and DataFormat DSL as a type safe way of configuring endpoints and data formats in Java.

A good practice when configuring options is to use Property Placeholders.

Property placeholders provide a few benefits:

  • They help prevent using hardcoded urls, port numbers, sensitive information, and other settings.
  • They allow externalizing the configuration from the code.
  • They help the code to become more flexible and reusable.

The following two sections list all the options, firstly for the component followed by the endpoint.

Chapter 32. Dataset

Both producer and consumer are supported

Testing of distributed and asynchronous processing is notoriously difficult. The Mock, Test and DataSet endpoints work great with the Camel Testing Framework to simplify your unit and integration testing using Enterprise Integration Patterns and Camel’s large range of Components together with the powerful Bean Integration.

The DataSet component provides a mechanism to easily perform load & soak testing of your system. It works by allowing you to create DataSet instances both as a source of messages and as a way to assert that the data set is received.

Camel will use the throughput logger when sending datasets.

32.1. Dependencies

When using dataset with Red Hat build of Camel Spring Boot make sure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for auto configuration:

Camel ships with a support implementation of org.apache.camel.component.dataset.DataSet, the org.apache.camel.component.dataset.DataSetSupport class, that can be used as a base for implementing your own DataSet. Camel also ships with some implementations that can be used for testing: org.apache.camel.component.dataset.SimpleDataSet, org.apache.camel.component.dataset.ListDataSet and org.apache.camel.component.dataset.FileDataSet, all of which extend DataSetSupport.

32.3. Configuring Options

Camel components are configured on two separate levels:

  • component level
  • endpoint level

32.3.1. Configuring Component Options

At the component level, you set general and shared configurations that are, then, inherited by the endpoints. It is the highest configuration level. For example, a component may have security settings, credentials for authentication, urls for network connection and so forth. Some components only have a few options, and others may have many. Because components typically have pre-configured defaults that are commonly used, then you may often only need to configure a few options on a component; or none at all.

You can configure components using:

  • the Component DSL.
  • in a configuration file (application.properties, *.yaml files, etc).
  • directly in the Java code.

32.3.2. Configuring Endpoint Options

You usually spend more time setting up endpoints because they have many options. These options help you customize what you want the endpoint to do. The options are also categorized into whether the endpoint is used as a consumer (from), as a producer (to), or both.

Configuring endpoints is most often done directly in the endpoint URI as path and query parameters. You can also use the Endpoint DSL and DataFormat DSL as a type safe way of configuring endpoints and data formats in Java.

A good practice when configuring options is to use Property Placeholders.

Property placeholders provide a few benefits:

  • They help prevent using hardcoded urls, port numbers, sensitive information, and other settings.
  • They allow externalizing the configuration from the code.
  • They help the code to become more flexible and reusable.

The following two sections list all the options, firstly for the component followed by the endpoint.

32.4. Component Options

The Dataset component supports 5 options, which are listed below.

Expand
NameDescriptionDefaultType

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

lazyStartProducer (producer)

Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

false

boolean

log (producer)

To turn on logging when the mock receives an incoming message. This will log only one time at INFO level for the incoming message. For more detailed logging then set the logger to DEBUG level for the org.apache.camel.component.mock.MockEndpoint class.

false

boolean

autowiredEnabled (advanced)

Whether autowiring is enabled. This is used for automatic autowiring options (the option must be marked as autowired) by looking up in the registry to find if there is a single instance of matching type, which then gets configured on the component. This can be used for automatic configuring JDBC data sources, JMS connection factories, AWS Clients, etc.

true

boolean

exchangeFormatter (advanced)

Autowired Sets a custom ExchangeFormatter to convert the Exchange to a String suitable for logging. If not specified, we default to DefaultExchangeFormatter.

 

ExchangeFormatter

32.5. Endpoint Options

The Dataset endpoint is configured using URI syntax:

dataset:name
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

with the following path and query parameters:

32.5.1. Path Parameters (1 parameters)

Expand
NameDescriptionDefaultType

name (common)

Required Name of DataSet to lookup in the registry.

 

DataSet

32.5.2. Query Parameters (21 parameters)

Expand
NameDescriptionDefaultType

dataSetIndex (common)

Controls the behaviour of the CamelDataSetIndex header. For Consumers: - off = the header will not be set - strict/lenient = the header will be set For Producers: - off = the header value will not be verified, and will not be set if it is not present = strict = the header value must be present and will be verified = lenient = the header value will be verified if it is present, and will be set if it is not present.

Enum values:

  • strict
  • lenient
  • off

lenient

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

initialDelay (consumer)

Time period in millis to wait before starting sending messages.

1000

long

minRate (consumer)

Wait until the DataSet contains at least this number of messages.

0

int

preloadSize (consumer)

Sets how many messages should be preloaded (sent) before the route completes its initialization.

0

long

produceDelay (consumer)

Allows a delay to be specified which causes a delay when a message is sent by the consumer (to simulate slow processing).

3

long

exceptionHandler (consumer (advanced))

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 (advanced))

Sets the exchange pattern when the consumer creates an exchange.

Enum values:

  • InOnly
  • InOut
  • InOptionalOut
 

ExchangePattern

assertPeriod (producer)

Sets a grace period after which the mock endpoint will re-assert to ensure the preliminary assertion is still valid. This is used for example to assert that exactly a number of messages arrives. For example if expectedMessageCount(int) was set to 5, then the assertion is satisfied when 5 or more message arrives. To ensure that exactly 5 messages arrives, then you would need to wait a little period to ensure no further message arrives. This is what you can use this method for. By default this period is disabled.

 

long

consumeDelay (producer)

Allows a delay to be specified which causes a delay when a message is consumed by the producer (to simulate slow processing).

0

long

expectedCount (producer)

Specifies the expected number of message exchanges that should be received by this endpoint. Beware: If you want to expect that 0 messages, then take extra care, as 0 matches when the tests starts, so you need to set a assert period time to let the test run for a while to make sure there are still no messages arrived; for that use setAssertPeriod(long). An alternative is to use NotifyBuilder, and use the notifier to know when Camel is done routing some messages, before you call the assertIsSatisfied() method on the mocks. This allows you to not use a fixed assert period, to speedup testing times. If you want to assert that exactly n’th message arrives to this mock endpoint, then see also the setAssertPeriod(long) method for further details.

-1

int

failFast (producer)

Sets whether assertIsSatisfied() should fail fast at the first detected failed expectation while it may otherwise wait for all expected messages to arrive before performing expectations verifications. Is by default true. Set to false to use behavior as in Camel 2.x.

false

boolean

lazyStartProducer (producer)

Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

false

boolean

log (producer)

To turn on logging when the mock receives an incoming message. This will log only one time at INFO level for the incoming message. For more detailed logging then set the logger to DEBUG level for the org.apache.camel.component.mock.MockEndpoint class.

false

boolean

reportGroup (producer)

A number that is used to turn on throughput logging based on groups of the size.

 

int

resultMinimumWaitTime (producer)

Sets the minimum expected amount of time (in millis) the assertIsSatisfied() will wait on a latch until it is satisfied.

 

long

resultWaitTime (producer)

Sets the maximum amount of time (in millis) the assertIsSatisfied() will wait on a latch until it is satisfied.

 

long

retainFirst (producer)

Specifies to only retain the first n’th number of received Exchanges. This is used when testing with big data, to reduce memory consumption by not storing copies of every Exchange this mock endpoint receives. Important: When using this limitation, then the getReceivedCounter() will still return the actual number of received Exchanges. For example if we have received 5000 Exchanges, and have configured to only retain the first 10 Exchanges, then the getReceivedCounter() will still return 5000 but there is only the first 10 Exchanges in the getExchanges() and getReceivedExchanges() methods. When using this method, then some of the other expectation methods is not supported, for example the expectedBodiesReceived(Object…​) sets a expectation on the first number of bodies received. You can configure both setRetainFirst(int) and setRetainLast(int) methods, to limit both the first and last received.

-1

int

retainLast (producer)

Specifies to only retain the last n’th number of received Exchanges. This is used when testing with big data, to reduce memory consumption by not storing copies of every Exchange this mock endpoint receives. Important: When using this limitation, then the getReceivedCounter() will still return the actual number of received Exchanges. For example if we have received 5000 Exchanges, and have configured to only retain the last 20 Exchanges, then the getReceivedCounter() will still return 5000 but there is only the last 20 Exchanges in the getExchanges() and getReceivedExchanges() methods. When using this method, then some of the other expectation methods is not supported, for example the expectedBodiesReceived(Object…​) sets a expectation on the first number of bodies received. You can configure both setRetainFirst(int) and setRetainLast(int) methods, to limit both the first and last received.

-1

int

sleepForEmptyTest (producer)

Allows a sleep to be specified to wait to check that this endpoint really is empty when expectedMessageCount(int) is called with zero.

 

long

copyOnExchange (producer (advanced))

Sets whether to make a deep copy of the incoming Exchange when received at this mock endpoint. Is by default true.

true

boolean

32.6. Configuring DataSet

Camel will lookup in the Registry for a bean implementing the DataSet interface. So you can register your own DataSet as:

<bean id="myDataSet" class="com.mycompany.MyDataSet">
  <property name="size" value="100"/>
</bean>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

32.7. Example

For example, to test that a set of messages are sent to a queue and then consumed from the queue without losing any messages:

// send the dataset to a queue
from("dataset:foo").to("activemq:SomeQueue");

// now lets test that the messages are consumed correctly
from("activemq:SomeQueue").to("dataset:foo");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

The above would look in the Registry to find the foo DataSet instance which is used to create the messages.

Then you create a DataSet implementation, such as using the SimpleDataSet as described below, configuring things like how big the data set is and what the messages look like etc.

32.8. DataSetSupport (abstract class)

The DataSetSupport abstract class is a nice starting point for new DataSets, and provides some useful features to derived classes.

32.8.1. Properties on DataSetSupport

Expand
PropertyTypeDefaultDescription

defaultHeaders

Map<String,Object>

null

Specifies the default message body. For SimpleDataSet it is a constant payload; though if you want to create custom payloads per message, create your own derivation of DataSetSupport.

outputTransformer

org.apache.camel.Processor

null

 

size

long

10

Specifies how many messages to send/consume.

reportCount

long

-1

Specifies the number of messages to be received before reporting progress. Useful for showing progress of a large load test. If < 0, then size / 5, if is 0 then size, else set to reportCount value.

32.9. SimpleDataSet

The SimpleDataSet extends DataSetSupport, and adds a default body.

32.9.1. Additional Properties on SimpleDataSet

Expand
PropertyTypeDefaultDescription

defaultBody

Object

<hello>world!</hello>

Specifies the default message body. By default, the SimpleDataSet produces the same constant payload for each exchange. If you want to customize the payload for each exchange, create a Camel Processor and configure the SimpleDataSet to use it by setting the outputTransformer property.

32.10. ListDataSet

The List`DataSet` extends DataSetSupport, and adds a list of default bodies.

32.10.1. Additional Properties on ListDataSet

Expand
PropertyTypeDefaultDescription

defaultBodies

List<Object>

empty LinkedList<Object>

Specifies the default message body. By default, the ListDataSet selects a constant payload from the list of defaultBodies using the CamelDataSetIndex. If you want to customize the payload, create a Camel Processor and configure the ListDataSet to use it by setting the outputTransformer property.

size

long

the size of the defaultBodies list

Specifies how many messages to send/consume. This value can be different from the size of the defaultBodies list. If the value is less than the size of the defaultBodies list, some of the list elements will not be used. If the value is greater than the size of the defaultBodies list, the payload for the exchange will be selected using the modulus of the CamelDataSetIndex and the size of the defaultBodies list (i.e. CamelDataSetIndex % defaultBodies.size() )

32.11. FileDataSet

The FileDataSet extends ListDataSet, and adds support for loading the bodies from a file.

32.11.1. Additional Properties on FileDataSet
