AWS SimpleDB

Since Camel 2.9

Only producer is supported

The sdb component supports storing and retrieving data from/to Amazon’s SDB service.

Prerequisites

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

URI Format

aws-sdb://domainName[?options]

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

URI Options

The AWS SimpleDB component supports 2 options, which are listed below.

Name Description Default Type

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

basicPropertyBinding (advanced)

Whether the component should use basic property binding (Camel 2.x) or the newer property binding with additional capabilities

false

boolean

The AWS SimpleDB endpoint is configured using URI syntax:

aws-sdb:domainName

with the following path and query parameters:

Advanced AmazonSimpleDB configuration

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

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

The #client refers to a AmazonSimpleDB in the Registry.

For example if your Camel Application is running behind a firewall:

AWSCredentials awsCredentials = new BasicAWSCredentials("myAccessKey", "mySecretKey");
ClientConfiguration clientConfiguration = new ClientConfiguration();
clientConfiguration.setProxyHost("http://myProxyHost");
clientConfiguration.setProxyPort(8080);

AmazonSimpleDB client = new AmazonSimpleDBClient(awsCredentials, clientConfiguration);

registry.bind("client", client);

  • BatchDeleteAttributes

  • BatchPutAttributes

  • DeleteAttributes

  • DeleteDomain

  • DomainMetadata

  • GetAttributes

  • ListDomains

  • PutAttributes

  • Select

Dependencies

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

pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-aws-sdb</artifactId>
    <version>${camel-version}</version>
</dependency>

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

Spring Boot Auto-Configuration

When using aws-sdb 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-aws-sdb-starter</artifactId>
  <version>x.x.x</version>
  <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>

The component supports 3 options, which are listed below.

Boolean

camel.component.aws-sdb.lazy-start-producer

Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message).
