Infinispan Embedded
Since Camel 2.13
Both producer and consumer are supported
This component allows you to interact with Infinispan distributed data grid / cache. Infinispan is an extremely scalable, highly available key/value data store and data grid platform written in Java.
The camel-infinispan-embedded
component includes the following features:
-
Local Camel Consumer: receives cache change notifications and sends them to be processed. This can be done synchronously or asynchronously, and is also supported with a replicated or distributed cache.
-
Local Camel Producer: a producer creates and sends messages to an endpoint. The
camel-infinispan
producer usesGET
,PUT
,REMOVE
, andCLEAR
operations. The local producer is also supported with a replicated or distributed cache.
The events are processed asynchronously.
If you use Maven, you must add the following dependency to your pom.xml
:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
<artifactId>camel-infinispan-embedded</artifactId>
<version>x.x.x</version>
<!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>
URI format
infinispan-embedded://cacheName?[options]
The producer allows sending messages to a local infinispan cache. The consumer allows listening for events from local infinispan cache.
If no cache configuration is provided, embedded cacheContainer is created directly in the component.
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 Infinispan Embedded component supports 20 options, which are listed below.
Name | Description | Default | Type |
---|---|---|---|
Component configuration. | InfinispanEmbeddedConfiguration | ||
Specifies the query builder. | InfinispanQueryBuilder | ||
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 | |
If true, the listener will be installed for the entire cluster. | false | boolean | |
Returns the custom listener in use, if provided. | InfinispanEmbeddedCustomListener | ||
Specifies the set of event types to register by the consumer.Multiple event can be separated by comma. The possible event types are: CACHE_ENTRY_ACTIVATED, CACHE_ENTRY_PASSIVATED, CACHE_ENTRY_VISITED, CACHE_ENTRY_LOADED, CACHE_ENTRY_EVICTED, CACHE_ENTRY_CREATED, CACHE_ENTRY_REMOVED, CACHE_ENTRY_MODIFIED, TRANSACTION_COMPLETED, TRANSACTION_REGISTERED, CACHE_ENTRY_INVALIDATED, CACHE_ENTRY_EXPIRED, DATA_REHASHED, TOPOLOGY_CHANGED, PARTITION_STATUS_CHANGED, PERSISTENCE_AVAILABILITY_CHANGED. | String | ||
If true, the consumer will receive notifications synchronously. | true | boolean | |
Set a specific default value for some producer operations. | Object | ||
Set a specific key for producer operations. | Object | ||
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 | |
Set a specific old value for some producer operations. | Object | ||
The operation to perform. Enum values:
| PUT | InfinispanOperation | |
Set a specific value for producer operations. | Object | ||
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 | |
Autowired Specifies the cache Container to connect. | EmbeddedCacheManager | ||
Autowired The CacheContainer configuration. Used if the cacheContainer is not defined. | Configuration | ||
An implementation specific URI for the CacheManager. | String | ||
A comma separated list of org.infinispan.context.Flag to be applied by default on each cache invocation. | String | ||
Set a specific remappingFunction to use in a compute operation. | BiFunction | ||
Store the operation result in a header instead of the message body. By default, resultHeader == null and the query result is stored in the message body, any existing content in the message body is discarded. If resultHeader is set, the value is used as the name of the header to store the query result and the original message body is preserved. This value can be overridden by an in message header named: CamelInfinispanOperationResultHeader. | String |
Endpoint Options
The Infinispan Embedded endpoint is configured using URI syntax:
infinispan-embedded:cacheName
With the following path and query parameters:
Query Parameters (20 parameters)
Name | Description | Default | Type |
---|---|---|---|
Specifies the query builder. | InfinispanQueryBuilder | ||
If true, the listener will be installed for the entire cluster. | false | boolean | |
Returns the custom listener in use, if provided. | InfinispanEmbeddedCustomListener | ||
Specifies the set of event types to register by the consumer.Multiple event can be separated by comma. The possible event types are: CACHE_ENTRY_ACTIVATED, CACHE_ENTRY_PASSIVATED, CACHE_ENTRY_VISITED, CACHE_ENTRY_LOADED, CACHE_ENTRY_EVICTED, CACHE_ENTRY_CREATED, CACHE_ENTRY_REMOVED, CACHE_ENTRY_MODIFIED, TRANSACTION_COMPLETED, TRANSACTION_REGISTERED, CACHE_ENTRY_INVALIDATED, CACHE_ENTRY_EXPIRED, DATA_REHASHED, TOPOLOGY_CHANGED, PARTITION_STATUS_CHANGED, PERSISTENCE_AVAILABILITY_CHANGED. | String | ||

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 | ||
Set a specific default value for some producer operations. | Object | ||
Set a specific key for producer operations. | Object | ||
Set a specific old value for some producer operations. | Object | ||
The operation to perform. Enum values:
| PUT | InfinispanOperation | |
Set a specific value for producer operations. | Object | ||

Examples
-
Put a key/value into a named cache:
from("direct:start") .setHeader(InfinispanConstants.OPERATION).constant(InfinispanOperation.PUT) (1) .setHeader(InfinispanConstants.KEY).constant("123") (2) .to("infinispan:myCacheName&cacheContainer=#cacheContainer"); (3)
1 Set the operation to perform 2 Set the key used to identify the element in the cache 3 Use the configured cache manager cacheContainer
from the registry to put an element to the cache namedmyCacheName
It is possible to configure the lifetime and/or the idle time before the entry expires and gets evicted from the cache, as example:
from("direct:start") .setHeader(InfinispanConstants.OPERATION).constant(InfinispanOperation.GET) .setHeader(InfinispanConstants.KEY).constant("123") .setHeader(InfinispanConstants.LIFESPAN_TIME).constant(100L) (1) .setHeader(InfinispanConstants.LIFESPAN_TIME_UNIT).constant(TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toString()) (2) .to("infinispan:myCacheName");
1 Set the lifespan of the entry 2 Set the time unit for the lifespan -
Queries
from("direct:start") .setHeader(InfinispanConstants.OPERATION, InfinispanConstants.QUERY) .setHeader(InfinispanConstants.QUERY_BUILDER, new InfinispanQueryBuilder() { @Override public Query build(QueryFactory<Query> qf) { return qf.from(User.class).having("name").like("%abc%").build(); } }) .to("infinispan:myCacheName?cacheContainer=#cacheManager") ;
-
Custom Listeners
from("infinispan://?cacheContainer=#cacheManager&customListener=#myCustomListener") .to("mock:result");
The instance of
myCustomListener
must exist and Camel should be able to look it up from theRegistry
. Users are encouraged to extend theorg.apache.camel.component.infinispan.embedded.InfinispanEmbeddedCustomListener
class and annotate the resulting class with@Listener
which can be found in the packageorg.infinispan.notifications
.
