Olingo4

Since Camel 2.19

Both producer and consumer are supported

The Olingo4 component utilizes Apache Olingo version 4.0 APIs to interact with OData 4.0 compliant service. Since version 4.0 OData is OASIS standard and number of popular open source and commercial vendors and products support this protocol. A sample list of supporting products can be found on the OData website.

The Olingo4 component supports reading entity sets, entities, simple and complex properties, counts, using custom and OData system query parameters. It supports updating entities and properties. It also supports submitting queries and change requests as a single OData batch operation.

The component supports configuring HTTP connection parameters and headers for OData service connection. This allows configuring use of SSL, OAuth2.0, etc. as required by the target OData service.

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

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-olingo4</artifactId>
    <version>x.x.x</version>
    <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>

Olingo4 Options

The Olingo4 component supports 16 options, which are listed below.

Name Description Default Type

configuration (common)

To use the shared configuration

Olingo4Configuration

connectTimeout (common)

HTTP connection creation timeout in milliseconds, defaults to 30,000 (30 seconds)

30000

int

contentType (common)

Content-Type header value can be used to specify JSON or XML message format, defaults to application/json;charset=utf-8

application/json;charset=utf-8

String

filterAlreadySeen (common)

Set this to true to filter out results that have already been communicated by this component.

false

boolean

httpHeaders (common)

Custom HTTP headers to inject into every request, this could include OAuth tokens, etc.

Map

proxy (common)

HTTP proxy server configuration

HttpHost

serviceUri (common)

Target OData service base URI, e.g. http://services.odata.org/OData/OData.svc

String

socketTimeout (common)

HTTP request timeout in milliseconds, defaults to 30,000 (30 seconds)

30000

int

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

splitResult (consumer)

For endpoints that return an array or collection, a consumer endpoint will map every element to distinct messages, unless splitResult is set to false.

true

boolean

lazyStartProducer (producer)

Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

false

boolean

basicPropertyBinding (advanced)

Deprecated Whether the component should use basic property binding (Camel 2.x) or the newer property binding with additional capabilities

false

boolean

httpAsyncClientBuilder (advanced)

Custom HTTP async client builder for more complex HTTP client configuration, overrides connectionTimeout, socketTimeout, proxy and sslContext. Note that a socketTimeout MUST be specified in the builder, otherwise OData requests could block indefinitely

In addition to the parameters above, the DEFAULT API can also use from the 34 endpoint query option which is listed in the Query Parameters section.

Any of the parameters can be provided in either the endpoint URI, or dynamically in a message header. The message header name must be of the format CamelOlingo4.parameter. The inBody parameter overrides message header, i.e. the endpoint parameter inBody=myParameterNameHere would override a CamelOlingo4.myParameterNameHere header.

Endpoint HTTP Headers

The component level configuration property httpHeaders supplies static HTTP header information. However, some systems requires dynamic header information to be passed to and received from the endpoint. A sample use case would be systems that require dynamic security tokens. The endpointHttpHeaders and responseHttpHeaders endpoint properties provides this capability. Set headers that need to be passed to the endpoint in the CamelOlingo4.endpointHttpHeaders property and the response headers will be returned in a CamelOlingo4.responseHttpHeaders property. Both properties are of the type java.util.Map<String, String>.

OData Resource Type Mapping

The result of read endpoint and data type of data option depends on the OData resource being queried, created or modified.

OData Resource Type Resource URI from resourcePath and keyPredicate In or Out Body Type

Samples

The following route reads top 5 entries from the People entity ordered by ascending FirstName property.

from("direct:...")
    .setHeader("CamelOlingo4.$top", "5");
    .to("olingo4://read/People?orderBy=FirstName%20asc");

The following route reads Airports entity using the key property value in incoming id header.

from("direct:...")
    .setHeader("CamelOlingo4.keyPredicate", header("id"))
    .to("olingo4://read/Airports");

The following route creates People entity using the ClientEntity in body message.

from("direct:...")
    .to("olingo4://create/People");

The following route calls an odata action using the ClientEntity in the body message. The body message may be null for actions that don’t expect an input.

from("direct:...")
    .to("olingo4://action/People");

Spring Boot Auto-Configuration

When using olingo4 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-olingo4-starter</artifactId>
  <version>x.x.x</version>
  <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>

The component supports 17 options, which are listed below.

Name Description Default Type

camel.component.olingo4.autowired-enabled

Whether autowiring is enabled. This is used for automatic autowiring options (the option must be marked as autowired) by looking up in the registry to find if there is a single instance of matching type, which then gets configured on the component. This can be used for automatic configuring JDBC data sources, JMS connection factories, AWS Clients, etc.
