Chapter 66. Constant

The Constant Expression Language is really just a way to use a constant value or object.

Note

This is a fixed constant value (or object) that is only set once during starting up the route, do not use this if you want dynamic values during routing.

66.1. Constant Options

The Constant language supports 2 options, which are listed below.

NameDefaultJava TypeDescription

resultType

 

String

Sets the class name of the constant type.

trim

 

Boolean

Whether to trim the value to remove leading and trailing whitespaces and line breaks.

66.2. Example

The setHeader EIP can utilize a constant expression like:

<route>
  <from uri="seda:a"/>
  <setHeader name="theHeader">
    <constant>the value</constant>
  </setHeader>
  <to uri="mock:b"/>
</route>

in this case, the message coming from the seda:a endpoint will have the header with key theHeader set its value as the value (string type).

And the same example using Java DSL:

from("seda:a")
  .setHeader("theHeader", constant("the value"))
  .to("mock:b");

66.2.1. Specifying type of value

The option resultType can be used to specify the type of the value, when the value is given as a String value, which happens when using XML or YAML DSL:

For example to set a header with int type you can do:

<route>
  <from uri="seda:a"/>
  <setHeader name="zipCode">
    <constant resultType="int">90210</constant>
  </setHeader>
  <to uri="mock:b"/>
</route>

66.3. Loading constant from external resource

You can externalize the constant and have Camel load it from a resource such as "classpath:", "file:", or "http:".
This is done using the following syntax: "resource:scheme:location", eg to refer to a file on the classpath you can do:

.setHeader("myHeader").constant("resource:classpath:constant.txt")

66.4. Dependencies

The Constant language is part of camel-core.

66.5. Spring Boot Auto-Configuration

When using constant 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-core-starter</artifactId>
  <version>3.14.5.redhat-00032</version>
  <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>

true

Boolean

camel.hystrix.circuit-breaker-error-threshold-percentage

Error percentage threshold (as whole number such as 50) at which point the circuit breaker will trip open and reject requests. It will stay tripped for the duration defined in circuitBreakerSleepWindowInMilliseconds; The error percentage this is compared against comes from HystrixCommandMetrics.getHealthCounts().

50

Integer

camel.hystrix.circuit-breaker-force-closed

If true the HystrixCircuitBreaker#allowRequest() will always return true to allow requests regardless of the error percentage from HystrixCommandMetrics.getHealthCounts(). The circuitBreakerForceOpen() property takes precedence so if it set to true this property does nothing.

false

Boolean

camel.hystrix.circuit-breaker-force-open

What isolation strategy HystrixCommand.run() will be executed with. If THREAD then it will be executed on a separate thread and concurrent requests limited by the number of threads in the thread-pool. If SEMAPHORE then it will be executed on the calling thread and concurrent requests limited by the semaphore count.

THREAD

String

camel.hystrix.execution-isolation-thread-interrupt-on-timeout

Whether the execution thread should attempt an interrupt (using Future#cancel ) when a thread times out. Applicable only when executionIsolationStrategy() == THREAD.

true

Boolean

Whether the timeout mechanism is enabled for this command.

true

Boolean

camel.hystrix.execution-timeout-in-milliseconds

Time in milliseconds at which point the command will timeout and halt execution. If executionIsolationThreadInterruptOnTimeout == true and the command is thread-isolated, the executing thread will be interrupted. If the command is semaphore-isolated and a HystrixObservableCommand, that command will get unsubscribed.

Integer

camel.hystrix.fallback-enabled

Whether HystrixCommand.getFallback() should be attempted when failure occurs.

true

Boolean

camel.hystrix.fallback-isolation-semaphore-max-concurrent-requests

Keep-alive time in minutes that gets passed to ThreadPoolExecutor#setKeepAliveTime(long,TimeUnit).

1

Integer

camel.hystrix.max-queue-size

Max queue size that gets passed to BlockingQueue in HystrixConcurrencyStrategy.getBlockingQueue(int) This should only affect the instantiation of a threadpool - it is not eliglible to change a queue size on the fly. For that, use queueSizeRejectionThreshold().

-1

Integer

camel.hystrix.maximum-size

Maximum thread-pool size that gets passed to ThreadPoolExecutor#setMaximumPoolSize(int) . This is the maximum amount of concurrency that can be supported without starting to reject HystrixCommands. Please note that this setting only takes effect if you also set allowMaximumSizeToDivergeFromCoreSize.

10

Integer

camel.hystrix.metrics-health-snapshot-interval-in-milliseconds

Time in milliseconds to wait between allowing health snapshots to be taken that calculate success and error percentages and affect HystrixCircuitBreaker.isOpen() status. On high-volume circuits the continual calculation of error percentage can become CPU intensive thus this controls how often it is calculated.

500

10000

Integer

camel.hystrix.queue-size-rejection-threshold

Queue size rejection threshold is an artificial max size at which rejections will occur even if maxQueueSize has not been reached. This is done because the maxQueueSize of a BlockingQueue can not be dynamically changed and we want to support dynamically changing the queue size that affects rejections. This is used by HystrixCommand when queuing a thread for execution.

5

Integer

camel.hystrix.request-log-enabled

Whether HystrixCommand execution and events should be logged to HystrixRequestLog.

true

Boolean

camel.hystrix.thread-pool-key

Refers to an existing io.github.resilience4j.circuitbreaker.CircuitBreakerConfig instance to lookup and use from the registry.

 

String

camel.resilience4j.configurations

Define additional configuration definitions.

 

Map

camel.resilience4j.enabled

Enable the component.

true

Boolean

camel.resilience4j.failure-rate-threshold

Configures the failure rate threshold in percentage. If the failure rate is equal or greater than the threshold the CircuitBreaker transitions to open and starts short-circuiting calls. The threshold must be greater than 0 and not greater than 100. Default value is 50 percentage.

 

Float

camel.resilience4j.minimum-number-of-calls

Configures the minimum number of calls which are required (per sliding window period) before the CircuitBreaker can calculate the error rate. For example, if minimumNumberOfCalls is 10, then at least 10 calls must be recorded, before the failure rate can be calculated. If only 9 calls have been recorded the CircuitBreaker will not transition to open even if all 9 calls have failed. Default minimumNumberOfCalls is 100.

Sliding window can either be count-based or time-based. If slidingWindowType is COUNT_BASED, the last slidingWindowSize calls are recorded and aggregated. If slidingWindowType is TIME_BASED, the calls of the last slidingWindowSize seconds are recorded and aggregated. The slidingWindowSize must be greater than 0. The minimumNumberOfCalls must be greater than 0. If the slidingWindowType is COUNT_BASED, the minimumNumberOfCalls cannot be greater than slidingWindowSize . If the slidingWindowType is TIME_BASED, you can pick whatever you want. Default slidingWindowSize is 100.

100

Configures the type of the sliding window which is used to record the outcome of calls when the CircuitBreaker is closed. Sliding window can either be count-based or time-based. If slidingWindowType is COUNT_BASED, the last slidingWindowSize calls are recorded and aggregated. If slidingWindowType is TIME_BASED, the calls of the last slidingWindowSize seconds are recorded and aggregated. Default slidingWindowType is COUNT_BASED.

COUNT_BASED

String

camel.resilience4j.slow-call-duration-threshold

Configures the duration threshold (seconds) above which calls are considered as slow and increase the slow calls percentage. Default value is 60 seconds.

60

Integer

camel.resilience4j.slow-call-rate-threshold

Configures a threshold in percentage. The CircuitBreaker considers a call as slow when the call duration is greater than slowCallDurationThreshold Duration. When the percentage of slow calls is equal or greater the threshold, the CircuitBreaker transitions to open and starts short-circuiting calls. The threshold must be greater than 0 and not greater than 100. Default value is 100 percentage which means that all recorded calls must be slower than slowCallDurationThreshold.

Map

camel.rest.api-vendor-extension

Whether vendor extension is enabled in the Rest APIs. If enabled then Camel will include additional information as vendor extension (eg keys starting with x-) such as route ids, class names etc. Not all 3rd party API gateways and tools supports vendor-extensions when importing your API docs.

false

Boolean

camel.rest.binding-mode

Sets the binding mode to use. The default value is off.

 

RestBindingMode

camel.rest.client-request-validation

Whether to enable validation of the client request to check whether the Content-Type and Accept headers from the client is supported by the Rest-DSL configuration of its consumes/produces settings. This can be turned on, to enable this check. In case of validation error, then HTTP Status codes 415 or 406 is returned. The default value is false.

false

Boolean

camel.rest.component

The Camel Rest component to use for the REST transport (consumer), such as netty-http, jetty, servlet, undertow. If no component has been explicit configured, then Camel will lookup if there is a Camel component that integrates with the Rest DSL, or if a org.apache.camel.spi.RestConsumerFactory is registered in the registry. If either one is found, then that is being used.

 

String

camel.rest.component-property

Allows to configure as many additional properties for the rest component in use.

 

Map

camel.rest.consumer-property

Allows to configure as many additional properties for the rest consumer in use.

 

Map

camel.rest.context-path

Sets a leading context-path the REST services will be using. This can be used when using components such as camel-servlet where the deployed web application is deployed using a context-path. Or for components such as camel-jetty or camel-netty-http that includes a HTTP server.

 

String

camel.rest.cors-headers

Allows to configure custom CORS headers.

 

Map

camel.rest.data-format-property

Allows to configure as many additional properties for the data formats in use. For example set property prettyPrint to true to have json outputted in pretty mode. The properties can be prefixed to denote the option is only for either JSON or XML and for either the IN or the OUT. The prefixes are: json.in. json.out. xml.in. xml.out. For example a key with value xml.out.mustBeJAXBElement is only for the XML data format for the outgoing. A key without a prefix is a common key for all situations.

 

Map

camel.rest.enable-cors

Whether to enable CORS headers in the HTTP response. The default value is false.

false

Boolean

camel.rest.endpoint-property

Allows to configure as many additional properties for the rest endpoint in use.

 

Map

camel.rest.host

The hostname to use for exposing the REST service.

 

String

camel.rest.host-name-resolver

If no hostname has been explicit configured, then this resolver is used to compute the hostname the REST service will be using.

 

RestHostNameResolver

camel.rest.json-data-format

Name of specific json data format to use. By default json-jackson will be used. Important: This option is only for setting a custom name of the data format, not to refer to an existing data format instance.

 

String

camel.rest.port

The port number to use for exposing the REST service. Notice if you use servlet component then the port number configured here does not apply, as the port number in use is the actual port number the servlet component is using. eg if using Apache Tomcat its the tomcat http port, if using Apache Karaf its the HTTP service in Karaf that uses port 8181 by default etc. Though in those situations setting the port number here, allows tooling and JMX to know the port number, so its recommended to set the port number to the number that the servlet engine uses.

 

String

camel.rest.producer-api-doc

Sets the location of the api document (swagger api) the REST producer will use to validate the REST uri and query parameters are valid accordingly to the api document. This requires adding camel-swagger-java to the classpath, and any miss configuration will let Camel fail on startup and report the error(s). The location of the api document is loaded from classpath by default, but you can use file: or http: to refer to resources to load from file or http url.

 

String

camel.rest.producer-component

Sets the name of the Camel component to use as the REST producer.

 

String

camel.rest.scheme

The scheme to use for exposing the REST service. Usually http or https is supported. The default value is http.

Whether to use X-Forward headers for Host and related setting. The default value is true.

true

Boolean

camel.rest.xml-data-format

Name of specific XML data format to use. By default jaxb will be used. Important: This option is only for setting a custom name of the data format, not to refer to an existing data format instance.

 

String

camel.rest.api-context-id-pattern

Deprecated Sets an CamelContext id pattern to only allow Rest APIs from rest services within CamelContext’s which name matches the pattern. The pattern name refers to the CamelContext name, to match on the current CamelContext only. For any other value, the pattern uses the rules from PatternHelper#matchPattern(String,String).

 

String

camel.rest.api-context-listing

Deprecated Sets whether listing of all available CamelContext’s with REST services in the JVM is enabled. If enabled it allows to discover these contexts, if false then only the current CamelContext is in use.

false

Boolean
