Stream Page edited by willem jiang CAMEL-2601 CAMEL-2601 Stream Component The stream: component provides access to the System.in, System.out and System.err streams as well as allowing streaming of file and URL. Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml for this component: <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId> <artifactId>camel-stream</artifactId> <version>x.x.x</version> <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version --> </dependency> URI format stream:in[?options] stream:out[?options] stream:err[?options] stream:header[?options] In addition, the file and url endpoint URIs are supported in Camel 2.0: stream:file?fileName=/foo/bar.txt stream:url[?options] If the stream:header URI is specified, the stream header is used to find the stream to write to. This option is available only for stream producers (that is, it cannot appear in from()). You can append query options to the URI in the following format, ?option=value&option=value&... Options Name Default Value Description delay 0 Initial delay in milliseconds before consuming or producing the stream. encoding JVM Default As of 1.4, you can configure the encoding (is a charset name) to use text-based streams (for example, message body is a String object). If not provided, Camel uses the JVM default Charset. promptMessage null Camel 2.0: Message prompt to use when reading from stream:in; for example, you could set this to Enter a command: promptDelay 0 Camel 2.0: Optional delay in milliseconds before showing the message prompt. initialPromptDelay 2000 Camel 2.0: Initial delay in milliseconds before showing the message prompt. This delay occurs only once. Can be used during system startup to avoid message prompts being written while other logging is done to the system out. fileName null Camel 2.0: When using the stream:file URI format, this option specifies the filename to stream to/from. scanStream false Camel 2.0: To be used for continuously reading a stream such as the unit tail command. scanStreamDelay 0 Camel 2.0: Delay in milliseconds between read attempts when using scanStream. Message content The stream: component supports either String or byte[] for writing to streams. Just add either String or byte[] content to the message.in.body. The special stream:header URI is used for custom output streams. Just add a java.io.OutputStream object to message.in.header in the key header. See samples for an example. Samples In the following sample we route messages from the direct:in endpoint to the System.out stream: @Test public void testStringContent() throws Exception { template.sendBody("direct:in", "Hello Text World\n"); } @Test public void testBinaryContent() { template.sendBody("direct:in", "Hello Bytes World\n".getBytes()); } protected RouteBuilder createRouteBuilder() { return new RouteBuilder() { public void configure() { from("direct:in").to("stream:out"); } }; } The following sample demonstrates how the header type can be used to determine which stream to use. In the sample we use our own output stream, MyOutputStream. private OutputStream mystream = new MyOutputStream(); private StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(); @Test public void testStringContent() { template.sendBody("direct:in", "Hello"); // StreamProducer appends \n in text mode assertEquals("Hello\n", sb.toString()); } @Test public void testBinaryContent() { template.sendBody("direct:in", "Hello".getBytes()); // StreamProducer is in binary mode so no \n is appended assertEquals("Hello", sb.toString()); } protected RouteBuilder createRouteBuilder() { return new RouteBuilder() { public void configure() { from("direct:in").setHeader("stream", constant(mystream)). to("stream:header"); } }; } private class MyOutputStream extends OutputStream { public void write(int b) throws IOException { sb.append((char)b); } } The following sample demonstrates how to continuously read a file stream (analogous to the UNIX tail command): from("stream:file?fileName=/server/logs/server.log&scanStream=true&scanStreamDelay=1000").to("bean:logService?method=parseLogLine"); See Also Configuring Camel Component Endpoint Getting Started Change Notification Preferences View Online | View Change | Add Comment
