Olingo4
Since Camel 2.19
Both producer and consumer are supported
The Olingo4 component uses Apache Olingo version 4.0 APIs to interact with OData 4.0 compliant service. Since version 4.0, OData is an OASIS standard and a number of popular open source and commercial vendors and products support this protocol. A sample list of supporting products can be found on the OData website.
The Olingo4 component supports reading entity sets, entities, simple and complex properties, counts, using custom and OData system query parameters. It supports updating entities and properties. It also supports submitting queries and change requests as a single OData batch operation.
The component supports configuring HTTP connection parameters and headers for OData service connection. This allows configuring use of SSL, OAuth2.0, etc. as required by the target OData service.
Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml for this component:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
<artifactId>camel-olingo4</artifactId>
<version>x.x.x</version>
<!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>
Configuring Options
Camel components are configured on two separate levels:
-
component level
-
endpoint level
Configuring Component Options
At the component level, you set general and shared configurations that are, then, inherited by the endpoints. It is the highest configuration level.
For example, a component may have security settings, credentials for authentication, urls for network connection and so forth.
Some components only have a few options, and others may have many. Because components typically have pre-configured defaults that are commonly used, then you may often only need to configure a few options on a component; or none at all.
You can configure components using:
-
the Component DSL.
-
in a configuration file (
application.properties
,*.yaml
files, etc). -
directly in the Java code.
Configuring Endpoint Options
You usually spend more time setting up endpoints because they have many options. These options help you customize what you want the endpoint to do. The options are also categorized into whether the endpoint is used as a consumer (from), as a producer (to), or both.
Configuring endpoints is most often done directly in the endpoint URI as path and query parameters. You can also use the Endpoint DSL and DataFormat DSL as a type safe way of configuring endpoints and data formats in Java.
A good practice when configuring options is to use Property Placeholders.
Property placeholders provide a few benefits:
-
They help prevent using hardcoded urls, port numbers, sensitive information, and other settings.
-
They allow externalizing the configuration from the code.
-
They help the code to become more flexible and reusable.
The following two sections list all the options, firstly for the component followed by the endpoint.
Component Options
The Olingo4 component supports 16 options, which are listed below.
Name | Description | Default | Type |
---|---|---|---|
To use the shared configuration. | Olingo4Configuration | ||
HTTP connection creation timeout in milliseconds, defaults to 30,000 (30 seconds). | 30000 | int | |
Content-Type header value can be used to specify JSON or XML message format, defaults to application/json;charset=utf-8. | application/json;charset=utf-8 | String | |
Set this to true to filter out results that have already been communicated by this component. | false | boolean | |
Custom HTTP headers to inject into every request, this could include OAuth tokens, etc. | Map | ||
HTTP proxy server configuration. | HttpHost | ||
Target OData service base URI, e.g. http://services.odata.org/OData/OData.svc. | String | ||
HTTP request timeout in milliseconds, defaults to 30,000 (30 seconds). | 30000 | int | |
Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions (if possible) occurred while the Camel consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. Important: This is only possible if the 3rd party component allows Camel to be alerted if an exception was thrown. Some components handle this internally only, and therefore bridgeErrorHandler is not possible. In other situations we may improve the Camel component to hook into the 3rd party component and make this possible for future releases. 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 | |
For endpoints that return an array or collection, a consumer endpoint will map every element to distinct messages, unless splitResult is set to false. | true | boolean | |
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 | |
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 | |
Custom HTTP async client builder for more complex HTTP client configuration, overrides connectionTimeout, socketTimeout, proxy and sslContext. Note that a socketTimeout MUST be specified in the builder, otherwise OData requests could block indefinitely. | HttpAsyncClientBuilder | ||
Custom HTTP client builder for more complex HTTP client configuration, overrides connectionTimeout, socketTimeout, proxy and sslContext. Note that a socketTimeout MUST be specified in the builder, otherwise OData requests could block indefinitely. | HttpClientBuilder | ||
To configure security using SSLContextParameters. | SSLContextParameters | ||
Enable usage of global SSL context parameters. | false | boolean |
Endpoint Options
The Olingo4 endpoint is configured using URI syntax:
olingo4:apiName/methodName
With the following path and query parameters:
Query Parameters (32 parameters)
Name | Description | Default | Type |
---|---|---|---|
HTTP connection creation timeout in milliseconds, defaults to 30,000 (30 seconds). | 30000 | int | |
Content-Type header value can be used to specify JSON or XML message format, defaults to application/json;charset=utf-8. | application/json;charset=utf-8 | String | |
Set this to true to filter out results that have already been communicated by this component. | false | boolean | |
Custom HTTP headers to inject into every request, this could include OAuth tokens, etc. | Map | ||
Sets the name of a parameter to be passed in the exchange In Body. | String | ||
HTTP proxy server configuration. | HttpHost | ||
Target OData service base URI, e.g. http://services.odata.org/OData/OData.svc. | String | ||
HTTP request timeout in milliseconds, defaults to 30,000 (30 seconds). | 30000 | int | |
If the polling consumer did not poll any files, you can enable this option to send an empty message (no body) instead. | false | boolean | |
For endpoints that return an array or collection, a consumer endpoint will map every element to distinct messages, unless splitResult is set to false. | true | boolean | |
Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions (if possible) occurred while the Camel consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. Important: This is only possible if the 3rd party component allows Camel to be alerted if an exception was thrown. Some components handle this internally only, and therefore bridgeErrorHandler is not possible. In other situations we may improve the Camel component to hook into the 3rd party component and make this possible for future releases. 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 | |
To let the consumer use a custom ExceptionHandler. Notice if the option bridgeErrorHandler is enabled then this option is not in use. By default the consumer will deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored. | ExceptionHandler | ||
Sets the exchange pattern when the consumer creates an exchange. Enum values:
| ExchangePattern | ||
A pluggable org.apache.camel.PollingConsumerPollingStrategy allowing you to provide your custom implementation to control error handling usually occurred during the poll operation before an Exchange have been created and being routed in Camel. | PollingConsumerPollStrategy | ||
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 | |

The number of subsequent error polls (failed due some error) that should happen before the backoffMultipler should kick-in. | int | ||
The number of subsequent idle polls that should happen before the backoffMultipler should kick-in. | int | ||
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. When this option is in use then backoffIdleThreshold and/or backoffErrorThreshold must also be configured. | int | ||
Milliseconds before the next poll. | 500 | long | |
If greedy is enabled, then the ScheduledPollConsumer will run immediately again, if the previous run polled 1 or more messages. | false | boolean | |
Milliseconds before the first poll starts. | 1000 | long | |
Specifies a maximum limit of number of fires. So if you set it to 1, the scheduler will only fire once. If you set it to 5, it will only fire five times. A value of zero or negative means fire forever. | 0 | long | |
The consumer logs a start/complete log line when it polls. This option allows you to configure the logging level for that. Enum values:
| TRACE | LoggingLevel | |
Allows for configuring a custom/shared thread pool to use for the consumer. By default each consumer has its own single threaded thread pool. | ScheduledExecutorService | ||
To use a cron scheduler from either camel-spring or camel-quartz component. Use value spring or quartz for built in scheduler. | none | Object | |
To configure additional properties when using a custom scheduler or any of the Quartz, Spring based scheduler. | Map | ||
Whether the scheduler should be auto started. | true | boolean | |
Time unit for initialDelay and delay options. Enum values:
| MILLISECONDS | TimeUnit | |
Controls if fixed delay or fixed rate is used. See ScheduledExecutorService in JDK for details. | true | boolean | |
To configure security using SSLContextParameters. | SSLContextParameters |

Any of the parameters can be provided in either the endpoint URI, or dynamically in a message header. The message header name must be of the format CamelOlingo4.parameter
. The inBody
parameter overrides message header, i.e., the endpoint parameter inBody=myParameterNameHere
would override a CamelOlingo4.myParameterNameHere
header.
Message Headers
The Olingo4 component supports 1 message header(s), which is/are listed below:
Name | Description | Default | Type |
---|---|---|---|
CamelOlingo4.responseHttpHeaders (producer) Constant: | The response Http headers. | Map |
Endpoint HTTP Headers
The component level configuration property httpHeaders supplies static HTTP header information. However, some systems require dynamic header information to be passed to and received from the endpoint. A sample use case would be systems that require dynamic security tokens. The endpointHttpHeaders and responseHttpHeaders endpoint properties provide this capability. Set headers that need to be passed to the endpoint in the CamelOlingo4.endpointHttpHeaders
property and the response headers will be returned in a CamelOlingo4.responseHttpHeaders
property. Both properties are of the type java.util.Map<String, String>
.
OData Resource Type Mapping
The result of read endpoint and data type of data option depends on the OData resource being queried, created or modified.
OData Resource Type | Resource URI from resourcePath and keyPredicate | In or Out Body Type |
---|---|---|
Entity data model | $metadata |
|
Service document | / |
|
OData entity set | <entity-set> |
|
OData entity | <entity-set>(<key-predicate>) |
|
Simple property | <entity-set>(<key-predicate>)/<simple-property> |
|
Simple property value | <entity-set>(<key-predicate>)/<simple-property>/$value |
|
Complex property | <entity-set>(<key-predicate>)/<complex-property> |
|
Count | <resource-uri>/$count |
|
Samples
The following route reads top 5 entries from the People entity ordered by ascending FirstName property.
from("direct:...")
.setHeader("CamelOlingo4.$top", "5");
.to("olingo4://read/People?orderBy=FirstName%20asc");
The following route reads Airports entity using the key property value in incoming id header.
from("direct:...")
.setHeader("CamelOlingo4.keyPredicate", header("id"))
.to("olingo4://read/Airports");
The following route creates People entity using the ClientEntity in body message.
from("direct:...")
.to("olingo4://create/People");
The following route calls an odata action using the ClientEntity in the body message. The body message may be null for actions that don’t expect an input.
from("direct:...")
.to("olingo4://action/People");
Spring Boot Auto-Configuration
When using olingo4 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-olingo4-starter</artifactId>
<version>x.x.x</version>
<!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>
The component supports 17 options, which are listed below.
Name | Description | Default | Type |
---|---|---|---|
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 | |
Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions (if possible) occurred while the Camel consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. Important: This is only possible if the 3rd party component allows Camel to be alerted if an exception was thrown. Some components handle this internally only, and therefore bridgeErrorHandler is not possible. In other situations we may improve the Camel component to hook into the 3rd party component and make this possible for future releases. 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 | |
To use the shared configuration. The option is a org.apache.camel.component.olingo4.Olingo4Configuration type. | Olingo4Configuration | ||

Content-Type header value can be used to specify JSON or XML message format, defaults to application/json;charset=utf-8. | application/json;charset=utf-8 | String | |
Whether to enable auto configuration of the olingo4 component. This is enabled by default. | Boolean | ||
Set this to true to filter out results that have already been communicated by this component. | false | Boolean | |
Custom HTTP async client builder for more complex HTTP client configuration, overrides connectionTimeout, socketTimeout, proxy and sslContext.

The option is a org.apache.http.impl.nio.client.HttpAsyncClientBuilder type. | HttpAsyncClientBuilder | ||
Custom HTTP client builder for more complex HTTP client configuration, overrides connectionTimeout, socketTimeout, proxy and sslContext. Note that a socketTimeout MUST be specified in the builder, otherwise OData requests could block indefinitely. The option is a org.apache.http.impl.client.HttpClientBuilder type. | HttpClientBuilder | ||
Custom HTTP headers to inject into every request, this could include OAuth tokens, etc. | Map | ||
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 | |
