Vertx Component

Available as of Camel 2.12

The vertx component is for working with the Vertx EventBus.

The vertx EventBus sends and receives JSON events.

From Camel 2.16 onwards vertx 3 is in use which requires Java 1.8 at runtime.

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

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

Connecting to the existing Vert.x instance

If you would like to connect to the Vert.x instance already existing in your JVM, you can set the instance on the component level:

Vertx vertx = ...;
VertxComponent vertxComponent = new VertxComponent();
vertxComponent.setVertx(vertx);
camelContext.addComponent("vertx", vertxComponent);
