Configuring Options

Camel components are configured on two separate levels:

component level
endpoint level

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.

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.

Component Options

The Huawei Simple Message Notification (SMN) 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
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

Using ServiceKey configuration Bean

Access key and secret keys are required to authenticate against cloud smn service. You can avoid having them being exposed and scattered over in your endpoint uri by wrapping them inside a bean of class org.apache.camel.component.huaweicloud.smn.models.ServiceKeys. Add it to the registry and let camel look it up by referring the object via endpoint query parameter serviceKeys. Check the following code snippets

<bean id="myServiceKeyConfig" class="org.apache.camel.component.huaweicloud.smn.models.ServiceKeys">
   <property name="accessKey" value="your_access_key" />
   <property name="secretKey" value="your_secret_key" />
</bean>

from("direct:triggerRoute")
 .setProperty(SmnProperties.NOTIFICATION_SUBJECT, constant("Notification Subject"))
 .setProperty(SmnProperties.NOTIFICATION_TOPIC_NAME,constant(testConfiguration.getProperty("topic")))
 .setProperty(SmnProperties.NOTIFICATION_TTL, constant(60))
 .to("hwcloud-smn:publishMessageService?operation=publishAsTextMessage&projectId=9071a38e7f6a4ba7b7bcbeb7d4ea6efc&region=cn-north-4&serviceKeys=#myServiceKeyConfig")

Spring Boot Auto-Configuration

When using hwcloud-smn 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-huaweicloud-smn-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.

Name	Description	Default	Type
camel.component.hwcloud-smn.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.hwcloud-smn.enabled	Whether to enable auto configuration of the hwcloud-smn component. This is enabled by default.		Boolean
camel.component.hwcloud-smn.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.
