AWS 2 Simple Notification System (SNS)

Since Camel 3.1

Only producer is supported

The AWS2 SNS component allows messages to be sent to an Amazon Simple Notification Topic. The implementation of the Amazon API is provided by the AWS SDK.

Prerequisites

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

The AWS2 SNS component is not supported in OSGI

URI Format

aws2-sns://topicNameOrArn[?options]

The topic will be created if they don’t already exists.
You can append query options to the URI in the following format, ?options=value&option2=value&…​

URI Options

The AWS 2 Simple Notification System (SNS) component supports 22 options, which are listed below.

Name Description Default Type

amazonSNSClient (producer)

Autowired To use the AmazonSNS as the client

SnsClient

autoCreateTopic (producer)

Setting the autocreation of the topic

true

boolean

configuration (producer)

Component configuration

Sns2Configuration

kmsMasterKeyId (producer)

The ID of an AWS-managed customer master key (CMK) for Amazon SNS or a custom CMK.

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

messageDeduplicationIdStrategy (producer)

Only for FIFO Topic. Strategy for setting the messageDeduplicationId on the message. Can be one of the following options: useExchangeId, useContentBasedDeduplication. For the useContentBasedDeduplication option, no messageDeduplicationId will be set on the message. There are 2 enums and the value can be one of: useExchangeId, useContentBasedDeduplication

useExchangeId

String

messageGroupIdStrategy (producer)

Only for FIFO Topic. Strategy for setting the messageGroupId on the message. Can be one of the following options: useConstant, useExchangeId, usePropertyValue. For the usePropertyValue option, the value of property CamelAwsMessageGroupId will be used. There are 3 enums and the value can be one of: useConstant, useExchangeId, usePropertyValue

HTTPS

Protocol

queueUrl (producer)

The queueUrl to subscribe to

String

region (producer)

The region in which SNS 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()

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.

Advanced AmazonSNS configuration

If you need more control over the SnsClient instance configuration you can create your own instance and refer to it from the URI:

from("direct:start")
.to("aws2-sns://MyTopic?amazonSNSClient=#client");

The #client refers to a AmazonSNS in the Registry.

Create a subscription between an AWS SNS Topic and an AWS SQS Queue

You can create a subscription of an SQS Queue to an SNS Topic in this way:

from("direct:start")
.to("aws2-sns://test-camel-sns1?amazonSNSClient=#amazonSNSClient&subscribeSNStoSQS=true&queueUrl=https://sqs.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/780410022472/test-camel");

The #amazonSNSClient refers to a SnsClient in the Registry. By specifying subscribeSNStoSQS to true and a queueUrl of an existing SQS Queue, you’ll be able to subscribe your SQS Queue to your SNS Topic.

At this point you can consume messages coming from SNS Topic through your SQS Queue

from("aws2-sqs://test-camel?amazonSQSClient=#amazonSQSClient&delay=50&maxMessagesPerPoll=5")
    .to(...);

Topic Autocreation

With the option autoCreateTopic users are able to avoid the autocreation of an SNS Topic in case it doesn’t exist. The default for this option is true. If set to false any operation on a not-existent topic in AWS won’t be successful and an error will be returned.

Automatic detection of SnsClient client in registry

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

SNS FIFO

SNS FIFO are supported. While creating the SQS queue you will subscribe to the SNS topic there is an important point to remember, you’ll need to make possible for the SNS Topic to send message to the SQS Queue.

This is clear with an example.

Suppose you created an SNS FIFO Topic called Order.fifo and an SQS Queue called QueueSub.fifo.

In the access Policy of the QueueSub.fifo you should submit something like this

{
  "Version": "2008-10-17",
  "Id": "__default_policy_ID",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Sid": "__owner_statement",
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
        "AWS": "arn:aws:iam::780560123482:root"
      },
      "Action": "SQS:*",
      "Resource": "arn:aws:sqs:eu-west-1:780560123482:QueueSub.fifo"
    },
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
        "Service": "sns.amazonaws.com"
      },
      "Action": "SQS:SendMessage",
      "Resource": "arn:aws:sqs:eu-west-1:780560123482:QueueSub.fifo",
      "Condition": {
        "ArnLike": {
          "aws:SourceArn": "arn:aws:sns:eu-west-1:780410022472:Order.fifo"
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

This is a critical step to make the subscription work correctly.

SNS Fifo Topic Message group Id Strategy and message Deduplication Id Strategy

When sending something to the FIFO topic you’ll need to always set up a message group Id strategy.

If the content-based message deduplication has been enabled on the SNS Fifo topic, where won’t be the need of setting a message deduplication id strategy, otherwise you’ll have to set it.

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-sns</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-sns 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-sns-starter</artifactId>
