AWS 2 MQ

Since Camel 3.1

Only producer is supported

The AWS2 MQ component supports create, run, start, stop and terminate AWS MQ instances.

Prerequisites

You must have a valid Amazon Web Services developer account, and be signed up to use Amazon MQ. More information is available at Amazon MQ.

The AWS2 MQ component is not supported in OSGI

URI Format

aws2-mq://label[?options]

You can append query options to the URI in the following format, ?options=value&option2=value&…​

URI Options

The AWS 2 MQ component supports 13 options, which are listed below.

Name Description Default Type

amazonMqClient (producer)

Autowired To use a existing configured AmazonMQClient as client

MqClient

configuration (producer)

Component configuration

MQ2Configuration

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)

Required The operation to perform. It can be listBrokers,createBroker,deleteBroker. There are 6 enums and the value can be one of: listBrokers, createBroker, deleteBroker, rebootBroker, updateBroker, describeBroker

MQ2Operations

pojoRequest (producer)

If we want to use a POJO request as body or not

false

boolean

proxyHost (producer)

To define a proxy host when instantiating the MQ client

String

proxyPort (producer)

To define a proxy port when instantiating the MQ client

Integer

proxyProtocol (producer)

To define a proxy protocol when instantiating the MQ client. There are 2 enums and the value can be one of: HTTP, HTTPS

HTTPS

Protocol

region (producer)

The region in which MQ client needs to work. When using this parameter, the configuration will expect the lowercase name of the region (for example ap-east-1) You’ll need to use the name Region.EU_WEST_1.id()

String

trustAllCertificates (producer)

If we want to trust all certificates in case of overriding the endpoint

false

boolean

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.

MQ Producer operations

Camel-AWS MQ component provides the following operation on the producer side:

  • listBrokers

  • createBroker

  • deleteBroker

  • rebootBroker

  • updateBroker

  • describeBroker

Producer Examples

  • listBrokers: this operation will list the available MQ Brokers in AWS

from("direct:listBrokers")
    .to("aws2-mq://test?amazonMqClient=#amazonMqClient&operation=listBrokers")

  • createBroker: this operation will create an MQ Broker in AWS

from("direct:createBroker")
    .process(new Processor() {
       @Override
       public void process(Exchange exchange) throws Exception {
                exchange.getIn().setHeader(MQ2Constants.BROKER_NAME, "test");
                exchange.getIn().setHeader(MQ2Constants.BROKER_DEPLOYMENT_MODE, DeploymentMode.SINGLE_INSTANCE);
                exchange.getIn().setHeader(MQ2Constants.BROKER_INSTANCE_TYPE, "mq.t2.micro");
                exchange.getIn().setHeader(MQ2Constants.BROKER_ENGINE, EngineType.ACTIVEMQ.name());
                exchange.getIn().setHeader(MQ2Constants.BROKER_ENGINE_VERSION, "5.15.6");
                exchange.getIn().setHeader(MQ2Constants.BROKER_PUBLICLY_ACCESSIBLE, false);
                List<User> users = new ArrayList<>();
                User.Builder user = User.builder();
                user.username("camel");
                user.password("camelpwd");
                users.add(user.build());
                exchange.getIn().setHeader(MQ2Constants.BROKER_USERS, users);

       }
    })
    .to("aws2-mq://test?amazonMqClient=#amazonMqClient&operation=createBroker")

  • deleteBroker: this operation will delete an MQ Broker in AWS

from("direct:listBrokers")
    .setHeader(MQ2Constants.BROKER_ID, constant("123")
    .to("aws2-mq://test?amazonMqClient=#amazonMqClient&operation=deleteBroker")

  • rebootBroker: this operation will delete an MQ Broker in AWS

from("direct:listBrokers")
    .setHeader(MQ2Constants.BROKER_ID, constant("123")
    .to("aws2-mq://test?amazonMqClient=#amazonMqClient&operation=rebootBroker")

Automatic detection of MqClient client in registry

The component is capable of detecting the presence of an MqClient 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.

Using a POJO as body

Sometimes build an AWS Request can be complex, because of multiple options. We introduce the possibility to use a POJO as body. In AWS MQ there are multiple operations you can submit, as an example for List brokers request, you can do something like:

from("direct:aws2-mq")
     .setBody(ListBrokersRequest.builder().maxResults(10).build())
     .to("aws2-mq://test?amazonMqClient=#amazonMqClient&operation=listBrokers&pojoRequest=true")

In this way you’ll pass the request directly without the need of passing headers and options specifically related to this operation.

Dependencies

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml.

pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-aws2-mq</artifactId>
    <version>${camel-version}</version>
</dependency>

where ${camel-version} must be replaced by the actual version of Camel.

Spring Boot Auto-Configuration

When using aws2-mq 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-aws2-mq-starter</artifactId>
  <version>x.x.x</version>
  <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>
