Chapter 161. Infinispan Component

Available as of Camel version 2.13

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.

From Camel 2.17 onwards Infinispan requires Java 8.

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

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

161.1. URI format

infinispan://cacheName?[options]

161.2. URI Options

The producer allows sending messages to a local infinispan cache configured in the registry, or to a remote cache using the HotRod protocol. The consumer allows listening for events from local infinispan cache accessible from the registry.

The Infinispan component supports 3 options which are listed below.

NameDescriptionDefaultType

configuration (common)

The default configuration shared among endpoints.

 

InfinispanConfiguration

cacheContainer (common)

The default cache container.

 

BasicCacheContainer

resolveProperty Placeholders (advanced)

Whether the component should resolve property placeholders on itself when starting. Only properties which are of String type can use property placeholders.

true

boolean

The Infinispan endpoint is configured using URI syntax:

infinispan:cacheName

with the following path and query parameters:

161.2.1. Path Parameters (1 parameters):

NameDescriptionDefaultType

cacheName

Required The cache to use

 

String

161.2.2. Query Parameters (18 parameters):

NameDescriptionDefaultType

hosts (common)

Specifies the host of the cache on Infinispan instance

 

String

queryBuilder (common)

Specifies the query builder.

 

InfinispanQueryBuilder

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

clusteredListener (consumer)

If true, the listener will be installed for the entire cluster

false

boolean

command (consumer)

Deprecated The operation to perform.

PUT

String

customListener (consumer)

Returns the custom listener in use, if provided

 

InfinispanCustom Listener

eventTypes (consumer)

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, DATA_REHASHED, TOPOLOGY_CHANGED, PARTITION_STATUS_CHANGED

 

String

sync (consumer)

If true, the consumer will receive notifications synchronously

true

boolean

exceptionHandler (consumer)

To let the consumer use a custom ExceptionHandler. Notice if the option bridgeErrorHandler is enabled then this options is not in use. By default the consumer will deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored.

 

ExceptionHandler

exchangePattern (consumer)

Sets the exchange pattern when the consumer creates an exchange.

 

ExchangePattern

operation (producer)

The operation to perform.

PUT

InfinispanOperation

cacheContainer (advanced)

Specifies the cache Container to connect

 

BasicCacheContainer

cacheContainerConfiguration (advanced)

The CacheContainer configuration

 

Object

configurationProperties (advanced)

Implementation specific properties for the CacheManager

 

Map

configurationUri (advanced)

An implementation specific URI for the CacheManager

 

String

flags (advanced)

A comma separated list of Flag to be applied by default on each cache invocation, not applicable to remote caches.

 

String

resultHeader (advanced)

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

 

Object

synchronous (advanced)

Sets whether synchronous processing should be strictly used, or Camel is allowed to use asynchronous processing (if supported).

false

boolean

161.4. Examples

  • Retrieve a specific key from the default cache using a custom cache container:

    from("direct:start")
        .setHeader(InfinispanConstants.OPERATION).constant(InfinispanOperation.GET)
        .setHeader(InfinispanConstants.KEY).constant("123")
        .to("infinispan?cacheContainer=#cacheContainer");
  • Retrieve a specific key from a named cache:

    from("direct:start")
        .setHeader(InfinispanConstants.OPERATION).constant(InfinispanOperation.PUT)
        .setHeader(InfinispanConstants.KEY).constant("123")
        .to("infinispan:myCacheName");
  • Put a value with lifespan

    from("direct:start")
        .setHeader(InfinispanConstants.OPERATION).constant(InfinispanOperation.GET)
        .setHeader(InfinispanConstants.KEY).constant("123")
        .setHeader(InfinispanConstants.LIFESPAN_TIME).constant(100L)
        .setHeader(InfinispanConstants.LIFESPAN_TIME_UNIT.constant(TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toString())
        .to("infinispan:myCacheName");

161.5. Using the Infinispan based idempotent repository

In this section we will use the Infinispan based idempotent repository.

First, we need to create a cacheManager and then configure our

org.apache.camel.component.infinispan.processor.idempotent.InfinispanIdempotentRepository:
<!-- set up the cache manager -->
<bean id="cacheManager"
      class="org.infinispan.manager.DefaultCacheManager"
      init-method="start"
      destroy-method="stop"/>

<!-- set up the repository -->
<bean id="infinispanRepo"
      class="org.apache.camel.component.infinispan.processor.idempotent.InfinispanIdempotentRepository"
      factory-method="infinispanIdempotentRepository">
    <argument ref="cacheManager"/>
    <argument value="idempotent"/>
</bean>

Then we can create our Infinispan idempotent repository in the spring XML file as well:

<camelContext xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring">
    <route id="JpaMessageIdRepositoryTest">
        <from uri="direct:start" />
        <idempotentConsumer messageIdRepositoryRef="infinispanStore">
            <header>messageId</header>
            <to uri="mock:result" />
        </idempotentConsumer>
    </route>
</camelContext>
