Google Calendar Stream

Since Camel 2.23

Only consumer is supported

The Google Calendar Stream component provides access to Calendar via the Google Calendar Web APIs. This component provides the streaming feature for Calendar events.

Google Calendar uses the OAuth 2.0 protocol for authenticating a Google account and authorizing access to user data. Before you can use this component, you will need to create an account and generate OAuth credentials. Credentials comprise of a clientId, clientSecret, and a refreshToken. A handy resource for generating a long-lived refreshToken is the OAuth playground.

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

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

URI Format

The Google Calendar Component uses the following URI format:

google-calendar-stream://index?[options]

Component options

The Google Calendar Stream component supports 15 options, which are listed below.

Name Description Default Type

applicationName (consumer)

Google Calendar application name. Example would be camel-google-calendar/1.0

String

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

calendarId (consumer)

The calendarId to be used

primary

String

clientId (consumer)

Client ID of the calendar application

String

configuration (consumer)

The configuration

GoogleCalendarStreamConfiguration

considerLastUpdate (consumer)

Take into account the lastUpdate of the last event polled as start date for the next poll

false

boolean

consumeFromNow (consumer)

Consume events in the selected calendar from now on

true

boolean

maxResults (consumer)

Max results to be returned

10

int

query (consumer)

The query to execute on calendar

String

scopes (consumer)

Specifies the level of permissions you want a calendar application to have to a user account. See https://developers.google.com/calendar/auth for more info.

List

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

clientFactory (advanced)

The client Factory

GoogleCalendarClientFactory

accessToken (security)

OAuth 2 access token. This typically expires after an hour so refreshToken is recommended for long term usage.

String

clientSecret (security)

Client secret of the calendar application

String

refreshToken (security)

OAuth 2 refresh token. Using this, the Google Calendar component can obtain a new accessToken whenever the current one expires - a necessity if the application is long-lived.

The Google Calendar Stream endpoint is configured using URI syntax:

google-calendar-stream:index

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

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.

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.
