The camel-flatpack sink connector supports 11 options, which are listed below.

Name Description Default Priority

camel.sink.path.type

Whether to use fixed or delimiter One of: [fixed] [delim].

Enum values:

  • fixed

  • delim

"delim"

MEDIUM

camel.sink.path.resourceUri

Required URL for loading the flatpack mapping file from classpath or file system.

HIGH

camel.sink.endpoint.allowShortLines

Allows for lines to be shorter than expected and ignores the extra characters.

false

MEDIUM

camel.sink.endpoint.delimiter

The default character delimiter for delimited files.

","

MEDIUM

camel.sink.endpoint.ignoreExtraColumns

Allows for lines to be longer than expected and ignores the extra characters.

false

MEDIUM

camel.sink.endpoint.ignoreFirstRecord

Whether the first line is ignored for delimited files (for the column headers).

true

MEDIUM

camel.sink.endpoint.splitRows

Sets the Component to send each row as a separate exchange once parsed.

true

MEDIUM

camel.sink.endpoint.textQualifier

The text qualifier for delimited files.

MEDIUM

camel.sink.endpoint.lazyStartProducer

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

MEDIUM

camel.component.flatpack.lazyStartProducer

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

MEDIUM

camel.component.flatpack.autowiredEnabled

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.
