IronMQ

Since Camel 2.17

The IronMQ component provides integration with IronMQ an elastic and durable hosted message queue as a service.

The component uses the IronMQ java client library.

To run it requires a IronMQ account, and a project id and token.

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml for this component:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-ironmq</artifactId>
    <version>x.x.x</version>
    <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>

URI format

 ironmq:queueName[?options]

Where queueName identifies the IronMQ queue you want to publish or consume messages from.

Options

The IronMQ endpoint is configured using URI syntax:

ironmq:queueName

with the following path and query parameters:

Path Parameters (1 parameters):

Name Description Default Type

queueName

Required The name of the IronMQ queue

String

Query Parameters (30 parameters):

Name Description Default Type

client (common)

Reference to a io.iron.ironmq.Client in the Registry.

Client

ironMQCloud (common)

IronMq Cloud url. Urls for public clusters: https://mq-aws-us-east-1-1.iron.io (US) and https://mq-aws-eu-west-1-1.iron.io (EU)

https://mq-aws-us-east-1-1.iron.io

String

preserveHeaders (common)

Should message headers be preserved when publishing messages. This will add the Camel headers to the Iron MQ message as a json payload with a header list, and a message body. Useful when Camel is both consumer and producer.

false

boolean

projectId (common)

IronMQ projectId

String

token (common)

IronMQ token

String

batchDelete (consumer)

Should messages be deleted in one batch. This will limit the number of api requests since messages are deleted in one request, instead of one pr. exchange. If enabled care should be taken that the consumer is idempotent when processing exchanges.

false

boolean

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

concurrentConsumers (consumer)

The number of concurrent consumers.

1

int

maxMessagesPerPoll (consumer)

Number of messages to poll pr. call. Maximum is 100.

1

int

sendEmptyMessageWhenIdle (consumer)

If the polling consumer did not poll any files, you can enable this option to send an empty message (no body) instead.

false

boolean

timeout (consumer)

After timeout (in seconds), item will be placed back onto the queue.

60

int

wait (consumer)

Time in seconds to wait for a message to become available. This enables long polling. Default is 0 (does not wait), maximum is 30.

int

exceptionHandler (consumer)

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)

Sets the exchange pattern when the consumer creates an exchange.

ExchangePattern

pollStrategy (consumer)

A pluggable org.apache.camel.PollingConsumerPollingStrategy allowing you to provide your custom implementation to control error handling usually occurred during the poll operation before an Exchange have been created and being routed in Camel.

PollingConsumerPoll Strategy

visibilityDelay (producer)

The item will not be available on the queue until this many seconds have passed. Default is 0 seconds.

int

synchronous (advanced)

Sets whether synchronous processing should be strictly used, or Camel is allowed to use asynchronous processing (if supported).

false

boolean

backoffErrorThreshold (scheduler)

The number of subsequent error polls (failed due some error) that should happen before the backoffMultipler should kick-in.

int

backoffIdleThreshold (scheduler)

The number of subsequent idle polls that should happen before the backoffMultipler should kick-in.

int

backoffMultiplier (scheduler)

To let the scheduled polling consumer backoff if there has been a number of subsequent idles/errors in a row. The multiplier is then the number of polls that will be skipped before the next actual attempt is happening again. When this option is in use then backoffIdleThreshold and/or backoffErrorThreshold must also be configured.

int

delay (scheduler)

Milliseconds before the next poll. You can also specify time values using units, such as 60s (60 seconds), 5m30s (5 minutes and 30 seconds), and 1h (1 hour).

500

long

greedy (scheduler)

If greedy is enabled, then the ScheduledPollConsumer will run immediately again, if the previous run polled 1 or more messages.

false

boolean

initialDelay (scheduler)

Milliseconds before the first poll starts. You can also specify time values using units, such as 60s (60 seconds), 5m30s (5 minutes and 30 seconds), and 1h (1 hour).

1000

long

runLoggingLevel (scheduler)

The consumer logs a start/complete log line when it polls. This option allows you to configure the logging level for that.

TRACE

LoggingLevel

scheduledExecutorService (scheduler)

Allows for configuring a custom/shared thread pool to use for the consumer. By default each consumer has its own single threaded thread pool.

ScheduledExecutor Service

scheduler (scheduler)

To use a cron scheduler from either camel-spring or camel-quartz2 component

none

ScheduledPollConsumer Scheduler

schedulerProperties (scheduler)

To configure additional properties when using a custom scheduler or any of the Quartz2, Spring based scheduler.

Map

startScheduler (scheduler)

Whether the scheduler should be auto started.

true

boolean

timeUnit (scheduler)

Time unit for initialDelay and delay options.

MILLISECONDS

TimeUnit

useFixedDelay (scheduler)

Controls if fixed delay or fixed rate is used. See ScheduledExecutorService in JDK for details.

true

boolean

Spring Boot Auto-Configuration

When using Spring Boot make sure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for auto configuration:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-ironmq-starter</artifactId>
  <version>x.x.x</version>
  <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>

The component supports 2 options, which are listed below.

Name Description Default Type

camel.component.ironmq.enabled

Enable ironmq component

true

Boolean

camel.component.ironmq.resolve-property-placeholders

Whether the component should resolve property placeholders on itself when starting. Only properties which are of String type can use property placeholders.

true

Boolean

IronMQComponent Options

The IronMQ component has no options.

Message Body

Should be either a String or a array of Strings. In the latter case the batch of strings will be send to IronMQ as one request, creating one message pr. element in the array.

Producer message headers

Header Type Description

CamelIronMQOperation

String

If value set to 'CamelIronMQClearQueue' the queue is cleared of unconsumed messages.

CamelIronMQMessageId

String or io.iron.ironmq.Ids

The id of the IronMQ message as a String when sending a single message, or a Ids object when sending a array of strings.

Consumer message headers

Header Type Description

CamelIronMQMessageId

String

The id of the message.

CamelIronMQReservationId

String

The reservation id of the message.

CamelIronMQReservedCount

String

The number of times this message has been reserved.

Consumer example

Consume 50 messages pr. poll from the queue 'testqueue' on aws eu, and save the messages to files.

from("ironmq:testqueue?ironMQCloud=https://mq-aws-eu-west-1-1.iron.io&projectId=myIronMQProjectid&token=myIronMQToken&maxMessagesPerPoll=50")
  .to("file:somefolder");

Producer example

Dequeue from activemq jms and enqueue the messages on IronMQ.

from("activemq:foo")
  .to("ironmq:testqueue?projectId=myIronMQProjectid&token=myIronMQToken");
