AWS DynamoDB
Since Camel 2.10
Only producer is supported
The DynamoDB component supports storing and retrieving data from/to Amazon’s DynamoDB service.
Prerequisites
You must have a valid Amazon Web Services developer account, and be signed up to use Amazon DynamoDB. More information is available at Amazon DynamoDB.
URI Format
aws-ddb://domainName[?options]
You can append query options to the URI in the following format, ?options=value&option2=value&…
URI Options
The AWS DynamoDB component supports 17 options, which are listed below.
Name | Description | Default | Type |
---|---|---|---|
amazonDDBClient (producer) |
To use the AmazonDynamoDB as the client |
AmazonDynamoDB |
|
autoDiscoverClient (common) |
Setting the autoDiscoverClient mechanism, if true, the component will look for a client instance in the registry automatically otherwise it will skip that checking. |
true |
boolean |
configuration (producer) |
The component configuration |
DdbConfiguration |
|
consistentRead (producer) |
Determines whether or not strong consistency should be enforced when data is read. |
false |
boolean |
keyAttributeName (producer) |
Attribute name when creating table |
String |
|
keyAttributeType (producer) |
Attribute type when creating table |
String |
|
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 |
operation (producer) |
What operation to perform. There are 10 enums and the value can be one of: BatchGetItems, DeleteItem, DeleteTable, DescribeTable, GetItem, PutItem, Query, Scan, UpdateItem, UpdateTable |
PutItem |
DdbOperations |
proxyHost (producer) |
To define a proxy host when instantiating the DDB client |
String |
|
proxyPort (producer) |
To define a proxy port when instantiating the DDB client. When using this parameter, the configuration will expect the capitalized name of the region (for example AP_EAST_1) You’ll need to use the name Regions.EU_WEST_1.name() |
Integer |
|
proxyProtocol (producer) |
To define a proxy protocol when instantiating the DDB client. There are 2 enums and the value can be one of: HTTP, HTTPS |
HTTPS |
Protocol |
readCapacity (producer) |
The provisioned throughput to reserve for reading resources from your table |
Long |
|
region (producer) |
The region in which DDB client needs to work |
String |
|
writeCapacity (producer) |
The provisioned throughput to reserved for writing resources to your table |
Long |
|
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 |
accessKey (security) |
Amazon AWS Access Key |
String |
|
secretKey (security) |
Amazon AWS Secret Key |

Usage
Message headers evaluated by the DDB producer
Header | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
|
|
A map of the table name and corresponding items to get by primary key. |
|
|
Table Name for this operation. |
|
|
The primary key that uniquely identifies each item in a table. |
|
|
Use this parameter if you want to get the attribute name-value pairs before or after they are modified(NONE, ALL_OLD, UPDATED_OLD, ALL_NEW, UPDATED_NEW). |
|
|
Designates an attribute for a conditional modification. |
|
|
If attribute names are not specified then all attributes will be returned. |
|
|
If set to true, then a consistent read is issued, otherwise eventually consistent is used. |
|
|
If set will be used as Secondary Index for Query operation. |
|
|
A map of the attributes for the item, and must include the primary key values that define the item. |
|
|
If set to true, Amazon DynamoDB returns a total number of items that match the query parameters, instead of a list of the matching items and their attributes. |
|
|
This header specify the selection criteria for the query, and merge together the two old headers CamelAwsDdbHashKeyValue and CamelAwsDdbScanRangeKeyCondition |
|
|
Primary key of the item from which to continue an earlier query. |
|
|
Value of the hash component of the composite primary key. |
|
|
The maximum number of items to return. |
|
|
A container for the attribute values and comparison operators to use for the query. |
|
|
Specifies forward or backward traversal of the index. |
|
|
Evaluates the scan results and returns only the desired values. |
|
|
Map of attribute name to the new value and action for the update. |

Advanced AmazonDynamoDB configuration
If you need more control over the AmazonDynamoDB
instance
configuration you can create your own instance and refer to it from the
URI:
from("direct:start")
.to("aws-ddb://domainName?amazonDDBClient=#client");
The #client
refers to a AmazonDynamoDB
in the
Registry.
For example if your Camel Application is running behind a firewall:
AWSCredentials awsCredentials = new BasicAWSCredentials("myAccessKey", "mySecretKey");
ClientConfiguration clientConfiguration = new ClientConfiguration();
clientConfiguration.setProxyHost("http://myProxyHost");
clientConfiguration.setProxyPort(8080);
AmazonDynamoDB client = new AmazonDynamoDBClient(awsCredentials, clientConfiguration);
registry.bind("client", client);
Supported producer operations

-
DeleteItem
-
DeleteTable
-
DescribeTable
-
GetItem
-
PutItem

Query
-
Scan
-

Automatic detection of AmazonDynamoDB client in registry
The component is capable of detecting the presence of an AmazonDynamoDB bean into the registry. If it’s the only instance of that type it will be used as client and you won’t have to define it as uri parameter. This may be really useful for smarter configuration of the endpoint.
Dependencies
Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml.
pom.xml
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
<artifactId>camel-aws-ddb</artifactId>
<version>${camel-version}</version>
</dependency>
where ${camel-version}
must be replaced by the actual version of Camel.
Spring Boot Auto-Configuration
When using aws-ddb 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-aws-ddb-starter</artifactId>
<version>x.x.x</version>
<!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
