The stream: component provides access to the
System.in
, System.out
and
System.err
streams as well as allowing streaming of file and
URL.
stream:in[?options] stream:out[?options] stream:err[?options] stream:header[?options]
In addition, the file
and url
endpoint URIs are supported in Fuse Mediation Router 2.0:
stream:file?fileName=/foo/bar.txt stream:url[?options]
If the stream:header
URI is specified, the
stream
header is used to find the stream to write to. This option
is available only for stream producers (that is, it cannot appear in
from()
).
You can append query options to the URI in the following format,
?option=value&option=value&...
Name | Default Value | Description |
---|---|---|
delay
|
0
|
Initial delay in milliseconds before consuming or producing the stream. |
encoding
|
JVM Default | As of 1.4, you can configure the encoding (is a charset name) to use text-based streams (for example, message body
is a String object). If not provided, Fuse Mediation Router uses the JVM default Charset. |
promptMessage
|
null
|
Fuse Mediation Router 2.0: Message prompt to use when
reading from stream:in ; for example, you could set this to
Enter a command:
|
promptDelay
|
0
|
Fuse Mediation Router 2.0: Optional delay in milliseconds before showing the message prompt. |
initialPromptDelay
|
2000
|
Fuse Mediation Router 2.0: Initial delay in milliseconds before showing the message prompt. This delay occurs only once. Can be used during system startup to avoid message prompts being written while other logging is done to the system out. |
fileName
|
null
|
Fuse Mediation Router 2.0: When using the
stream:file URI format, this option specifies the
filename to stream to/from. |
scanStream
|
false
|
Fuse Mediation Router 2.0: To be used
for continuously reading a stream such as the unix |
retry
|
false
|
Camel 2.7: will retry opening the file if it's overwritten, somewhat like tail --retry
|
scanStreamDelay
|
0
|
Fuse Mediation Router 2.0: Delay in milliseconds between
read attempts when using scanStream . |
groupLines
|
0
|
Camel 2.5: To group X number of lines in the consumer. For example to group 10 lines and therefore only spit out an Exchange with 10 lines, instead of 1 Exchange per line. |
The stream: component supports either
String
or byte[]
for writing to streams. Just
add either String
or byte[]
content to the
message.in.body
. The special stream:header
URI
is used for custom output streams. Just add a java.io.OutputStream
object to message.in.header
in the key header
. See
samples for an example.
In the following sample we route messages from the direct:in
endpoint to the System.out
stream:
@Test public void testStringContent() throws Exception { template.sendBody("direct:in", "Hello Text World\n"); } @Test public void testBinaryContent() { template.sendBody("direct:in", "Hello Bytes World\n".getBytes()); } protected RouteBuilder createRouteBuilder() { return new RouteBuilder() { public void configure() { from("direct:in").to("stream:out"); } }; }
The following sample demonstrates how the header type can be used to determine which
stream to use. In the sample we use our own output stream,
MyOutputStream
.
private OutputStream mystream = new MyOutputStream(); private StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(); @Test public void testStringContent() { template.sendBody("direct:in", "Hello"); // StreamProducer appends \n in text mode assertEquals("Hello\n", sb.toString()); } @Test public void testBinaryContent() { template.sendBody("direct:in", "Hello".getBytes()); // StreamProducer is in binary mode so no \n is appended assertEquals("Hello", sb.toString()); } protected RouteBuilder createRouteBuilder() { return new RouteBuilder() { public void configure() { from("direct:in").setHeader("stream", constant(mystream)). to("stream:header"); } }; } private class MyOutputStream extends OutputStream { public void write(int b) throws IOException { sb.append((char)b); } }
The following sample demonstrates how to continuously read a file stream (analogous to
the UNIX tail
command):
from("stream:file?fileName=/server/logs/server.log&scanStream=true&scanStreamDelay=1000").to("bean:logService?method=parseLogLine");
