Chapter 15. Groovy
Overview
Groovy is a Java-based scripting language that allows quick parsing of object. The Groovy support is part of the
camel-script module.
Adding the script module
To use Groovy in your routes you need to add a dependency on
camel-script to your project as shown in Example 15.1, “Adding the camel-script dependency”.
Example 15.1. Adding the camel-script dependency
<!-- Maven POM File -->
<properties>
<camel-version>2.12.0.redhat-610379</camel-version>
...
</properties>
<dependencies>
...
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
<artifactId>camel-script</artifactId>
<version>${camel-version}</version>
</dependency>
...
</dependencies>Static import
To use the
groovy() static method in your application code, include the following import statement in your Java source files:
import static org.apache.camel.builder.camel.script.ScriptBuilder.*;
Built-in attributes
Table 15.1, “Groovy attributes” lists the built-in attributes that are accessible when using Groovy.
Table 15.1. Groovy attributes
| Attribute | Type | Value |
|---|---|---|
context | org.apache.camel.CamelContext | The Camel Context |
exchange | org.apache.camel.Exchange | The current Exchange |
request | org.apache.camel.Message | The IN message |
response | org.apache.camel.Message | The OUT message |
properties | org.apache.camel.builder.script.PropertiesFunction | Function with a resolve method to make it easier to use the properties component inside scripts. |
The attributes all set at
ENGINE_SCOPE.
Example
Example 15.2, “Routes using Groovy” shows two routes that use Groovy scripts.
Example 15.2. Routes using Groovy
<camelContext>
<route>
<from uri=""mock:mock0" />
<filter>
<language language="groovy">request.lineItems.any { i -> i.value > 100 }</language>
<to uri="mock:mock1" />
</filter>
</route>
<route>
<from uri="direct:in"/>
<setHeader headerName="firstName">
<language language="groovy">$user.firstName $user.lastName</language>
</setHeader>
<to uri="seda:users"/>
</route>
</camelContext>Using the properties component
To access a property value from the properties component, invoke the
resolve method on the built-in properties attribute, as follows:
.setHeader("myHeader").groovy("properties.resolve(PropKey)")
Where PropKey is the key of the property you want to resolve, where the key value is of
String type.
