YAML DSL

JVM since1.8.0 Native since1.8.0

An YAML stack for parsing YAML route definitions

What’s inside

Please refer to the above link for usage and configuration details.

Maven coordinates

Or add the coordinates to your existing project:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel.quarkus</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-quarkus-yaml-dsl</artifactId>
</dependency>

Check the User guide for more information about writing Camel Quarkus applications.

Usage

Native mode

The following constructs when defined within Camel YAML DSL markup, require you to register classes for reflection. Refer to the Native mode guide for details.

Bean definitions

The YAML DSL provides the capability to define beans as follows.

- beans:
    - name: "greetingBean"
      type: "org.acme.GreetingBean"
      properties:
        greeting: "Hello World!"
- route:
    id: "my-yaml-route"
    from:
      uri: "timer:from-yaml?period=1000"
      steps:
        - to: "bean:greetingBean"

In this example, the GreetingBean class needs to be registered for reflection. This applies to any types that you refer to under the beans key in your YAML routes.

@RegisterForReflection
public class GreetingBean {
}

Exception handling

Camel provides various methods of handling exceptions. Some of these require that any exception classes referenced in their DSL definitions are registered for reflection.

on-exception

- on-exception:
    handled:
      constant: "true"
    exception:
      - "org.acme.MyHandledException"
    steps:
      - transform:
          constant: "Sorry something went wrong"
@RegisterForReflection
public class MyHandledException {
}

throw-exception

- route:
    id: "my-yaml-route"
    from:
      uri: "direct:start"
      steps:
        - choice:
            when:
              - simple: "${body} == 'bad value'"
                steps:
                  - throw-exception:
                      exception-type: "org.acme.ForcedException"
                      message: "Forced exception"
            otherwise:
              steps:
                - to: "log:end"
@RegisterForReflection
public class ForcedException {
}

do-catch

- route:
    id: "my-yaml-route2"
    from:
      uri: "direct:tryCatch"
      steps:
        - do-try:
            steps:
              - to: "direct:readFile"
            do-catch:
              - exception:
                  - "java.io.FileNotFoundException"
                steps:
                  - transform:
                      constant: "do-catch caught an exception"
@RegisterForReflection(targets = FileNotFoundException.class)
public class MyClass {
}
