Simple

Since Camel 1.1

The Simple Expression Language was a really simple language when it was created, but has since grown more powerful. It is primarily intended for being a very small and simple language for evaluating Expressions and Predicates without requiring any new dependencies or knowledge of XPath; so it is ideal for testing in camel-core. The idea was to cover 95% of the common use cases when you need a little bit of expression based script in your Camel routes.

However for much more complex use cases you are generally recommended to choose a more expressive and powerful language such as:

The simple language requires camel-bean JAR as classpath dependency if the simple language uses OGNL expressions, such as calling a method named myMethod on the message body: ${body.myMethod()}. At runtime the simple language will then us its built-in OGNL support which requires the camel-bean component.

The simple language uses ${body} placeholders for complex expressions or functions.

See also the CSimple language which is compiled.

Alternative syntax

You can also use the alternative syntax which uses $simple{ } as placeholders. This can be used in situations to avoid clashes when using for example Spring property placeholder together with Camel.

Simple Language options

The Simple language supports 2 options, which are listed below.

Name Default Java Type Description

Name	Default	Java Type	Description
resultType		`String`	Sets the class name of the result type (type from output)
trim	`true`	`Boolean`	Whether to trim the value to remove leading and trailing whitespaces and line breaks

resultType

String

Sets the class name of the result type (type from output)

trim

true

Boolean

Whether to trim the value to remove leading and trailing whitespaces and line breaks

Variables

Variable Type Description

Variable	Type	Description
camelId	String	the CamelContext name
camelContext.OGNL	Object	the CamelContext invoked using a Camel OGNL expression.
exchange	Exchange	the Exchange
exchange.OGNL	Object	the Exchange invoked using a Camel OGNL expression.
exchangeId	String	the exchange id
id	String	the input message id
messageTimestamp	String	the input message timestamp (millis since epoc) that this message originates from.

The message timestamp and exchange created are not the same. An exchange always have a created timestamp which is the local timestamp when Camel created the exchange. The message timestamp is only available in some Camel components when the consumer is able to extract the timestamp from the source event. If the message has no timestamp then 0 is returned.

OGNL expression support

When using OGNL then camel-bean JAR is required to be on the classpath.

Camel’s OGNL support is for invoking methods only. You cannot access fields. Camel support accessing the length field of Java arrays.

The Simple and Bean language now supports a Camel OGNL notation for invoking beans in a chain like fashion. Suppose the Message IN body contains a POJO which has a getAddress() method.

Then you can use Camel OGNL notation to access the address object:

simple("${body.address}")
simple("${body.address.street}")
simple("${body.address.zip}")

Camel understands the shorthand names for getters, but you can invoke any method or use the real name such as:

simple("${body.address}")
simple("${body.getAddress.getStreet}")
simple("${body.address.getZip}")
simple("${body.doSomething}")

You can also use the null safe operator (?.) to avoid NPE if for example the body does NOT have an address

simple("${body?.address?.street}")

It is also possible to index in Map or List types, so you can do:

simple("${body[foo].name}")

To assume the body is Map based and lookup the value with foo as key, and invoke the getName method on that value.

If the key has space, then you must enclose the key with quotes, for example 'foo bar':

simple("${body['foo bar'].name}")

You can access the Map or List objects directly using their key name (with or without dots) :

simple("${body[foo]}")
simple("${body[this.is.foo]}")

Suppose there was no value with the key foo then you can use the null safe operator to avoid the NPE as shown:

simple("${body[foo]?.name}")

You can also access List types, for example to get lines from the address you can do:

simple("${body.address.lines[0]}")
simple("${body.address.lines[1]}")
simple("${body.address.lines[2]}")

There is a special last keyword which can be used to get the last value from a list.

simple("${body.address.lines[last]}")

And to get the 2nd last you can subtract a number, so we can use last-1 to indicate this:

simple("${body.address.lines[last-1]}")

And the 3rd last is of course:

simple("${body.address.lines[last-2]}")

And you can call the size method on the list with

simple("${body.address.lines.size}")

Camel supports the length field for Java arrays as well, eg:

String[] lines = new String[]{"foo", "bar", "cat"};
exchange.getIn().setBody(lines);

simple("There are ${body.length} lines")

And yes you can combine this with the operator support as shown below:

simple("${body.address.zip} > 1000")

Operator support

The parser is limited to only support a single operator.

To enable it the left value must be enclosed in $\{ }. The syntax is:

${leftValue} OP rightValue

Where the rightValue can be a String literal enclosed in ' ', null, a constant value or another expression enclosed in $\{ }.

There must be spaces around the operator.

Camel will automatically type convert the rightValue type to the leftValue type, so it is able to eg. convert a string into a numeric so you can use > comparison for numeric values.

The following operators are supported:

Operator Description

Operator	Description
==	equals
=~	equals ignore case (will ignore case when comparing String values)
>	greater than
>=	greater than or equals
<	less than
<=	less than or equals
!=	not equals
!=~	not equals ignore case (will ignore case when comparing String values)
contains	For testing if contains in a string based value
!contains	For testing if not contains in a string based value
~~	For testing if contains by ignoring case sensitivity in a string based value
!~~	For testing if not contains by ignoring case sensitivity in a string based value
regex	For matching against a given regular expression pattern defined as a String value
!regex	For not matching against a given regular expression pattern defined as a String value
in	For matching if in a set of values, each element must be separated by comma. If you want to include an empty value, then it must be defined using double comma, eg ',,bronze,silver,gold', which is a set of four values with an empty value and then the three medals.
!in	For matching if not in a set of values, each element must be separated by comma. If you want to include an empty value, then it must be defined using double comma, eg ',,bronze,silver,gold', which is a set of four values with an empty value and then the three medals.
is	For matching if the left hand side type is an instanceof the value.
!is	For matching if the left hand side type is not an instanceof the value.
range	For matching if the left hand side is within a range of values defined as numbers: `from..to`..
!range	For matching if the left hand side is not within a range of values defined as numbers: `from..to`. .
startsWith	For testing if the left hand side string starts with the right hand string.
starts with	Same as the startsWith operator.
endsWith	For testing if the left hand side string ends with the right hand string.
ends with	Same as the endsWith operator.

equals

equals ignore case (will ignore case when comparing String values)

greater than

greater than or equals

less than

less than or equals

not equals

!=~

not equals ignore case (will ignore case when comparing String values)

contains

For testing if contains in a string based value

!contains

For testing if not contains in a string based value

!~~

For testing if not contains by ignoring case sensitivity in a string based value

regex

For matching against a given regular expression pattern defined as a String value

!regex

For not matching against a given regular expression pattern defined as a String value

For matching if in a set of values, each element must be separated by comma. If you want to include an empty value, then it must be defined using double comma, eg ',,bronze,silver,gold', which is a set of four values with an empty value and then the three medals.

!in

For matching if not in a set of values, each element must be separated by comma. If you want to include an empty value, then it must be defined using double comma, eg ',,bronze,silver,gold', which is a set of four values with an empty value and then the three medals.

For matching if the left hand side type is an instanceof the value.

!is

For matching if the left hand side type is not an instanceof the value.

range

For matching if the left hand side is within a range of values defined as numbers: from..to..

!range

For matching if the left hand side is not within a range of values defined as numbers: from..to. .

startsWith

For testing if the left hand side string starts with the right hand string.

starts with

Same as the startsWith operator.

endsWith

For testing if the left hand side string ends with the right hand string.

ends with

Same as the endsWith operator.

And the following unary operators can be used:

Operator	Description
++	To increment a number by one. The left hand side must be a function, otherwise parsed as literal.
—	To decrement a number by one. The left hand side must be a function, otherwise parsed as literal.
\n	To use newline character.
\t	To use tab character.
\r	To use carriage return character.
\}	To use the } character as text. This may be needed when building a JSon structure with the simple language.

Operator

Description

To increment a number by one. The left hand side must be a function, otherwise parsed as literal.

—

To decrement a number by one. The left hand side must be a function, otherwise parsed as literal.

To use newline character.

To use tab character.

To use carriage return character.

To use the } character as text. This may be needed when building a JSon structure with the simple language.

And the following logical operators can be used to group expressions:

Operator	Description
&&	The logical and operator is used to group two expressions.
\|\|	The logical or operator is used to group two expressions.

Operator

Description

The logical and operator is used to group two expressions.

The logical or operator is used to group two expressions.

The syntax for AND is:

${leftValue} OP rightValue && ${leftValue} OP rightValue

And the syntax for OR is:

${leftValue} OP rightValue || ${leftValue} OP rightValue

Some examples:

// exact equals match
simple("${in.header.foo} == 'foo'")

// ignore case when comparing, so if the header has value FOO this will match
simple("${in.header.foo} =~ 'foo'")

// here Camel will type convert '100' into the type of in.header.bar and if it is an Integer '100' will also be converter to an Integer
simple("${in.header.bar} == '100'")

simple("${in.header.bar} == 100")

// 100 will be converter to the type of in.header.bar so we can do > comparison
simple("${in.header.bar} > 100")

Comparing with different types

When you compare with different types such as String and int, then you have to take a bit care. Camel will use the type from the left hand side as 1st priority. And fallback to the right hand side type if both values couldn’t be compared based on that type.
This means you can flip the values to enforce a specific type. Suppose the bar value above is a String. Then you can flip the equation:

simple("100 < ${in.header.bar}")

which then ensures the int type is used as 1st priority.

This may change in the future if the Camel team improves the binary comparison operations to prefer numeric types over String based. It’s most often the String type which causes problem when comparing with numbers.

// testing for null
simple("${in.header.baz} == null")

// testing for not null
simple("${in.header.baz} != null")

And a bit more advanced example where the right value is another expression

simple("${in.header.date} == ${date:now:yyyyMMdd}")

simple("${in.header.type} == ${bean:orderService?method=getOrderType}")

And an example with contains, testing if the title contains the word Camel

simple("${in.header.title} contains 'Camel'")

And an example with regex, testing if the number header is a 4 digit value:

simple("${in.header.number} regex '\\d{4}'")

And finally an example if the header equals any of the values in the list. Each element must be separated by comma, and no space around.
This also works for numbers etc, as Camel will convert each element into the type of the left hand side.

simple("${in.header.type} in 'gold,silver'")

And for all the last 3 we also support the negate test using not:

simple("${in.header.type} !in 'gold,silver'")

And you can test if the type is a certain instance, eg for instance a String

simple("${in.header.type} is 'java.lang.String'")

We have added a shorthand for all java.lang types so you can write it as:

simple("${in.header.type} is 'String'")

Ranges are also supported. The range interval requires numbers and both from and end are inclusive. For instance to test whether a value is between 100 and 199:

simple("${in.header.number} range 100..199")

Notice we use .. in the range without spaces. It is based on the same syntax as Groovy.

From Camel 2.9 onwards the range value must be in single quotes

simple("${in.header.number} range '100..199'")

Using Spring XML

As the Spring XML does not have all the power as the Java DSL with all its various builder methods, you have to resort to use some other languages for testing with simple operators. Now you can do this with the simple language. In the sample below we want to test if the header is a widget order:

<from uri="seda:orders">
   <filter>
       <simple>${in.header.type} == 'widget'</simple>
       <to uri="bean:orderService?method=handleWidget"/>
   </filter>
</from>

Using and / or

If you have two expressions you can combine them with the && or || operator.

For instance:

simple("${in.header.title} contains 'Camel' && ${in.header.type'} == 'gold'")

And of course the || is also supported. The sample would be:

simple("${in.header.title} contains 'Camel' || ${in.header.type'} == 'gold'")

Samples

In the Spring XML sample below we filter based on a header value:

<from uri="seda:orders">
   <filter>
       <simple>${in.header.foo}</simple>
       <to uri="mock:fooOrders"/>
   </filter>
</from>

The Simple language can be used for the predicate test above in the Message Filter pattern, where we test if the in message has a foo header (a header with the key foo exists). If the expression evaluates to true then the message is routed to the mock:fooOrders endpoint, otherwise the message is dropped.

The same example in Java DSL:

from("seda:orders")
    .filter().simple("${in.header.foo}")
        .to("seda:fooOrders");

You can also use the simple language for simple text concatenations such as:

from("direct:hello")
    .transform().simple("Hello ${in.header.user} how are you?")
    .to("mock:reply");

Notice that we must use $\{ } placeholders in the expression now to allow Camel to parse it correctly.

And this sample uses the date command to output current date.

from("direct:hello")
    .transform().simple("The today is ${date:now:yyyyMMdd} and it is a great day.")
    .to("mock:reply");

And in the sample below we invoke the bean language to invoke a method on a bean to be included in the returned string:

from("direct:order")
    .transform().simple("OrderId: ${bean:orderIdGenerator}")
    .to("mock:reply");

Where orderIdGenerator is the id of the bean registered in the Registry. If using Spring then it is the Spring bean id.

If we want to declare which method to invoke on the order id generator bean we must prepend .method name such as below where we invoke the generateId method.

from("direct:order")
    .transform().simple("OrderId: ${bean:orderIdGenerator.generateId}")
    .to("mock:reply");

We can use the ?method=methodname option that we are familiar with the Bean component itself:

from("direct:order")
    .transform().simple("OrderId: ${bean:orderIdGenerator?method=generateId}")
    .to("mock:reply");

You can also convert the body to a given type, for example to ensure that it is a String you can do:

<transform>
  <simple>Hello ${bodyAs(String)} how are you?</simple>
</transform>

There are a few types which have a shorthand notation, so we can use String instead of java.lang.String. These are: byte[], String, Integer, Long. All other types must use their FQN name, e.g. org.w3c.dom.Document.

It is also possible to lookup a value from a header Map:

<transform>
  <simple>The gold value is ${header.type[gold]}</simple>
</transform>

In the code above we lookup the header with name type and regard it as a java.util.Map and we then lookup with the key gold and return the value. If the header is not convertible to Map an exception is thrown. If the header with name type does not exist null is returned.

You can nest functions, such as shown below:

<setHeader name="myHeader">
  <simple>${properties:${header.someKey}}</simple>
</setHeader>

Referring to constants or enums

Suppose you have an enum for customers

And in a Content Based Router we can use the Simple language to refer to this enum, to check the message which enum it matches.

Using new lines or tabs in XML DSLs

It is easier to specify new lines or tabs in XML DSLs as you can escape the value now

<transform>
  <simple>The following text\nis on a new line</simple>
</transform>

Leading and trailing whitespace handling

The trim attribute of the expression can be used to control whether the leading and trailing whitespace characters are removed or preserved. The default value is true, which removes the whitespace characters.

<setBody>
  <simple trim="false">You get some trailing whitespace characters.     </simple>
</setBody>

Setting result type

You can now provide a result type to the Simple expression, which means the result of the evaluation will be converted to the desired type. This is most usable to define types such as booleans, integers, etc.

For example to set a header as a boolean type you can do:

.setHeader("cool", simple("true", Boolean.class))

And in XML DSL

<setHeader name="cool">
  <!-- use resultType to indicate that the type should be a java.lang.Boolean -->
  <simple resultType="java.lang.Boolean">true</simple>
</setHeader>

Loading script from external resource

You can externalize the script 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").simple("resource:classpath:mysimple.txt")

Setting Spring beans to Exchange properties

You can set a spring bean into an exchange property as shown below:

<bean id="myBeanId" class="my.package.MyCustomClass" />
...
<route>
  ...
  <setProperty name="monitoring.message">
    <simple>ref:myBeanId</simple>
  </setProperty>
  ...
</route>

Spring Boot Auto-Configuration

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

camel.hystrix.circuit-breaker-enabled	Whether to use a HystrixCircuitBreaker or not. If false no circuit-breaker logic will be used and all requests permitted. This is similar in effect to circuitBreakerForceClosed() except that continues tracking metrics and knowing whether it should be open/closed, this property results in not even instantiating a circuit-breaker.	true	Boolean
camel.hystrix.circuit-breaker-error-threshold-percentage	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.	false	Boolean
camel.hystrix.circuit-breaker-force-open	If true the HystrixCircuitBreaker.allowRequest() will always return false, causing the circuit to be open (tripped) and reject all requests. This property takes precedence over circuitBreakerForceClosed();.	false	Boolean
camel.hystrix.circuit-breaker-request-volume-threshold	Minimum number of requests in the metricsRollingStatisticalWindowInMilliseconds() that must exist before the HystrixCircuitBreaker will trip. If below this number the circuit will not trip regardless of error percentage.	20	Integer

camel.hystrix.max-queue-size	Max queue size that gets passed to BlockingQueue in HystrixConcurrencyStrategy.getBlockingQueue(int) This should only affect the instantiation of a threadpool - it is not eliglible to change a queue size on the fly. For that, use queueSizeRejectionThreshold().	-1	Integer
camel.hystrix.maximum-size	Maximum thread-pool size that gets passed to ThreadPoolExecutor#setMaximumPoolSize(int) . This is the maximum amount of concurrency that can be supported without starting to reject HystrixCommands. Please note that this setting only takes effect if you also set allowMaximumSizeToDivergeFromCoreSize.	10	Integer
camel.hystrix.metrics-health-snapshot-interval-in-milliseconds	Time in milliseconds to wait between allowing health snapshots to be taken that calculate success and error percentages and affect HystrixCircuitBreaker.isOpen() status. On high-volume circuits the continual calculation of error percentage can become CPU intensive thus this controls how often it is calculated.	500	Integer

camel.hystrix.metrics-rolling-statistical-window-in-milliseconds	This property sets the duration of the statistical rolling window, in milliseconds. This is how long metrics are kept for the thread pool. The window is divided into buckets and rolls by those increments.	10000	Integer
camel.hystrix.queue-size-rejection-threshold	Queue size rejection threshold is an artificial max size at which rejections will occur even if maxQueueSize has not been reached. This is done because the maxQueueSize of a BlockingQueue can not be dynamically changed and we want to support dynamically changing the queue size that affects rejections. This is used by HystrixCommand when queuing a thread for execution.	5	Integer
camel.hystrix.request-log-enabled	Whether HystrixCommand execution and events should be logged to HystrixRequestLog.	true	Boolean
camel.hystrix.thread-pool-key	Sets the thread pool key to use. Will by default use the same value as groupKey has been configured to use.	CamelHystrix	String

camel.resilience4j.circuit-breaker-ref	Refers to an existing io.github.resilience4j.circuitbreaker.CircuitBreaker instance to lookup and use from the registry. When using this, then any other circuit breaker options are not in use.		String
camel.resilience4j.config-ref	Refers to an existing io.github.resilience4j.circuitbreaker.CircuitBreakerConfig instance to lookup and use from the registry.		String
camel.resilience4j.configurations	Define additional configuration definitions.		Map
camel.resilience4j.enabled	Enable the component.	true	Boolean
camel.resilience4j.failure-rate-threshold	Configures the failure rate threshold in percentage. If the failure rate is equal or greater than the threshold the CircuitBreaker transitions to open and starts short-circuiting calls. The threshold must be greater than 0 and not greater than 100. Default value is 50 percentage.		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. If only 9 calls have been recorded the CircuitBreaker will not transition to open even if all 9 calls have failed. Default minimumNumberOfCalls is 100.	100	Integer
camel.resilience4j.permitted-number-of-calls-in-half-open-state	Configures the number of permitted calls when the CircuitBreaker is half open. The size must be greater than 0. Default size is 10.	10	Integer
camel.resilience4j.sliding-window-size	Configures the size of the sliding window which is used to record the outcome of calls when the CircuitBreaker is closed. slidingWindowSize configures the size of the sliding window. Sliding window can either be count-based or time-based. If slidingWindowType is COUNT_BASED, the last slidingWindowSize calls are recorded and aggregated. If slidingWindowType is TIME_BASED, the calls of the last slidingWindowSize seconds are recorded and aggregated. The slidingWindowSize must be greater than 0. The minimumNumberOfCalls must be greater than 0. If the slidingWindowType is COUNT_BASED, the minimumNumberOfCalls cannot be greater than slidingWindowSize . If the slidingWindowType is TIME_BASED, you can pick whatever you want. Default slidingWindowSize is 100.	100	Integer
camel.resilience4j.sliding-window-type	Configures the type of the sliding window which is used to record the outcome of calls when the CircuitBreaker is closed. Sliding window can either be count-based or time-based. If slidingWindowType is COUNT_BASED, the last slidingWindowSize calls are recorded and aggregated. If slidingWindowType is TIME_BASED, the calls of the last slidingWindowSize seconds are recorded and aggregated. Default slidingWindowType is COUNT_BASED.	COUNT_BASED	String
camel.resilience4j.slow-call-duration-threshold	Configures the duration threshold (seconds) above which calls are considered as slow and increase the slow calls percentage. Default value is 60 seconds.	60	Integer
camel.resilience4j.slow-call-rate-threshold	Configures a threshold in percentage. The CircuitBreaker considers a call as slow when the call duration is greater than slowCallDurationThreshold Duration. When the percentage of slow calls is equal or greater the threshold, the CircuitBreaker transitions to open and starts short-circuiting calls. The threshold must be greater than 0 and not greater than 100. Default value is 100 percentage which means that all recorded calls must be slower than slowCallDurationThreshold.		Float
camel.resilience4j.wait-duration-in-open-state	Configures the wait duration (in seconds) which specifies how long the CircuitBreaker should stay open, before it switches to half open. Default value is 60 seconds.	60	Integer
camel.resilience4j.writable-stack-trace-enabled	Enables writable stack traces. When set to false, Exception.getStackTrace returns a zero length array.

camel.rest.api-component	The name of the Camel component to use as the REST API (such as swagger) If no API Component has been explicit configured, then Camel will lookup if there is a Camel component responsible for servicing and generating the REST API documentation, or if a org.apache.camel.spi.RestApiProcessorFactory is registered in the registry. If either one is found, then that is being used.		String
camel.rest.api-context-id-pattern	Sets an CamelContext id pattern to only allow Rest APIs from rest services within CamelContext’s which name matches the pattern. The pattern name refers to the CamelContext name, to match on the current CamelContext only. For any other value, the pattern uses the rules from PatternHelper#matchPattern(String,String).		String
camel.rest.api-context-listing	Sets whether listing of all available CamelContext’s with REST services in the JVM is enabled. If enabled it allows to discover these contexts, if false then only the current CamelContext is in use.	false	Boolean
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
camel.rest.api-context-route-id	Sets the route id to use for the route that services the REST API. The route will by default use an auto assigned route id.		String
camel.rest.api-host	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	Whether vendor extension is enabled in the Rest APIs. If enabled then Camel will include additional information as vendor extension (eg keys starting with x-) such as route ids, class names etc. Not all 3rd party API gateways and tools supports vendor-extensions when importing your API docs.	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
camel.rest.enable-cors	Whether to enable CORS headers in the HTTP response. The default value is false.	false	Boolean
camel.rest.endpoint-property	Allows to configure as many additional properties for the rest endpoint in use.		Map
camel.rest.host	The hostname to use for exposing the REST service.		String
camel.rest.host-name-resolver	If no hostname has been explicit configured, then this resolver is used to compute the hostname the REST service will be using.		RestHostNameResolver
camel.rest.json-data-format	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.		String
camel.rest.scheme	The scheme to use for exposing the REST service. Usually http or https is supported. The default value is http.		String
camel.rest.skip-binding-on-error-code	Whether to skip binding on output if there is a custom HTTP error code header. This allows to build custom error messages that do not bind to json / xml etc, as success messages otherwise will do.	false	Boolean
camel.rest.use-x-forward-headers	Whether to use X-Forward headers for Host and related setting. The default value is true.	true	Boolean
camel.rest.xml-data-format	Name of specific XML data format to use. By default jaxb 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

true

Boolean

camel.hystrix.circuit-breaker-error-threshold-percentage

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().

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.

false

Boolean

camel.hystrix.circuit-breaker-force-open

If true the HystrixCircuitBreaker.allowRequest() will always return false, causing the circuit to be open (tripped) and reject all requests. This property takes precedence over circuitBreakerForceClosed();.

false

Boolean

camel.hystrix.circuit-breaker-request-volume-threshold

Minimum number of requests in the metricsRollingStatisticalWindowInMilliseconds() that must exist before the HystrixCircuitBreaker will trip. If below this number the circuit will not trip regardless of error percentage.

-1

Integer

camel.hystrix.maximum-size

Maximum thread-pool size that gets passed to ThreadPoolExecutor#setMaximumPoolSize(int) . This is the maximum amount of concurrency that can be supported without starting to reject HystrixCommands. Please note that this setting only takes effect if you also set allowMaximumSizeToDivergeFromCoreSize.

Integer

camel.hystrix.metrics-health-snapshot-interval-in-milliseconds

Time in milliseconds to wait between allowing health snapshots to be taken that calculate success and error percentages and affect HystrixCircuitBreaker.isOpen() status. On high-volume circuits the continual calculation of error percentage can become CPU intensive thus this controls how often it is calculated.

10000

Integer

camel.hystrix.queue-size-rejection-threshold

Queue size rejection threshold is an artificial max size at which rejections will occur even if maxQueueSize has not been reached. This is done because the maxQueueSize of a BlockingQueue can not be dynamically changed and we want to support dynamically changing the queue size that affects rejections. This is used by HystrixCommand when queuing a thread for execution.

Integer

camel.hystrix.request-log-enabled

Whether HystrixCommand execution and events should be logged to HystrixRequestLog.

true

Boolean

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. If only 9 calls have been recorded the CircuitBreaker will not transition to open even if all 9 calls have failed. Default minimumNumberOfCalls is 100.

100

Integer

Configures the duration threshold (seconds) above which calls are considered as slow and increase the slow calls percentage. Default value is 60 seconds.

Integer

camel.resilience4j.slow-call-rate-threshold

Configures a threshold in percentage. The CircuitBreaker considers a call as slow when the call duration is greater than slowCallDurationThreshold Duration. When the percentage of slow calls is equal or greater the threshold, the CircuitBreaker transitions to open and starts short-circuiting calls. The threshold must be greater than 0 and not greater than 100. Default value is 100 percentage which means that all recorded calls must be slower than slowCallDurationThreshold.

Float

If either one is found, then that is being used.

String

camel.rest.api-context-id-pattern

Sets an CamelContext id pattern to only allow Rest APIs from rest services within CamelContext’s which name matches the pattern.

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

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

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

camel.rest.enable-cors

Whether to enable CORS headers in the HTTP response. The default value is false.

false

Boolean

camel.rest.endpoint-property

Allows to configure as many additional properties for the rest endpoint in use.

If no hostname has been explicit configured, then this resolver is used to compute the hostname the REST service will be using.

RestHostNameResolver

camel.rest.json-data-format

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.

true

Boolean

camel.rest.xml-data-format

Name of specific XML data format to use. By default jaxb 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.
