Olingo4

Since Camel 2.19

The Olingo4 component utilizes http://olingo.apache.org/[Apache Olingo] version 4.0 APIs to interact with OData 4.0 compliant service. Since version 4.0 OData is OASIS standard and number of popular open source and commercial vendors and products support this protocol. A sample list of supporting products can be found on the OData website.

The Olingo4 component supports reading entity sets, entities, simple and complex properties, counts, using custom and OData system query parameters. It supports updating entities and properties. It also supports submitting queries and change requests as a single OData batch operation.

The component supports configuring HTTP connection parameters and headers for OData service connection. This allows configuring use of SSL, OAuth2.0, etc. as required by the target OData service.

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

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
        <artifactId>camel-olingo4</artifactId>
        <version>x.x.x</version>
        <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
    </dependency>

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

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)

Producer Endpoints

Producer endpoints can use endpoint names and options listed next. Producer endpoints can also use a special option inBody that in turn should contain the name of the endpoint option whose value will be contained in the Camel Exchange In message. The inBody option defaults to data for endpoints that take that option.

Any of the endpoint options can be provided in either the endpoint URI, or dynamically in a message header. The message header name must be of the format CamelOlingo4.<option>. Note that the inBody option overrides message header, i.e. the endpoint option inBody=option would override a CamelOlingo4.option header. In addition, query parameters can be specified

Note that the resourcePath option can either in specified in the URI as a part of the URI path, as an endpoint option ?resourcePath=<resource-path> or as a header value CamelOlingo4.resourcePath. The OData entity key predicate can either be a part of the resource path, e.g. Manufacturers('1'), where '__1' is the key predicate, or be specified separately with resource path Manufacturers and keyPredicate option '1'.

Endpoint HTTP Headers

The component level configuration property httpHeaders supplies static HTTP header information. However, some systems requires dynamic header information to be passed to and received from the endpoint. A sample use case would be systems that require dynamic security tokens. The endpointHttpHeaders and responseHttpHeaders endpoint properties provides this capability. Set headers that need to be passed to the endpoint in the CamelOlingo4.endpointHttpHeaders property and the response headers will be returned in a CamelOlingo4.responseHttpHeaders property. Both properties are of the type java.util.Map<String, String>.

OData Resource Type Mapping

The result of read endpoint and data type of data option depends on the OData resource being queried, created or modified.

OData Resource Type Resource URI from resourcePath and keyPredicate In or Out Body Type

java.lang.Long

Consumer Endpoints

Only the read endpoint can be used as a consumer endpoint. Consumer endpoints can use http://camel.apache.org/polling-consumer.html#PollingConsumer-ScheduledPollConsumerOptions[Scheduled Poll Consumer Options] with a consumer. prefix to schedule endpoint invocation. By default consumer endpoints that return an array or collection will generate one exchange per element, and their routes will be executed once for each exchange. This behavior can be disabled by setting the endpoint property consumer.splitResult=false.

Message Headers

Any URI option can be provided in a message header for producer endpoints with a CamelOlingo4. prefix.

Message Body

All result message bodies utilize objects provided by the underlying Apache Olingo 4.0 API used by the Olingo4Component. Producer endpoints can specify the option name for incoming message body in the inBody endpoint URI parameter. For endpoints that return an array or collection, a consumer endpoint will map every element to distinct messages, unless consumer.splitResult is set to false.

Use cases

The following route reads top 5 entries from the People entity ordered by ascending FirstName property.

from("direct:...")
    .setHeader("CamelOlingo4.$top", "5");
    .to("olingo4://read/People?orderBy=FirstName%20asc");

The following route reads Airports entity using the key property value in incoming id header.

from("direct:...")
    .setHeader("CamelOlingo4.keyPredicate", header("id"))
    .to("olingo4://read/Airports");

The following route creates People entity using the ClientEntity in body message.

from("direct:...")
    .to("olingo4://create/People");
