URIs

Camel makes extensive use of URIs to allow you to refer to Endpoints.

For example the following URI:

kafka:cheese?brokers=mykafka:1234&clientId=foo

This endpoint is created by the Kafka component. The URI contains endpoint configurations as context-path and query parameters. In this example the context-path is cheese which is the kafka topic to use.

The query parameters have two parameters:

  • brokers=mykafka:1234 which is the remote Kafka broker to connect to.

  • clientId=foo is the client id

Make sure to read How do I configure endpoints to learn more about configuring endpoints. For example how to refer to beans in the registry or how to use raw values for password options, and using property placeholders, or how to use the type safe Endpoint DSL.
