Description

config

CSVConfig

Can be used to set a custom CSVConfig object.

strategy

CSVStrategy

Camel uses by default CSVStrategy.DEFAULT_STRATEGY.

autogenColumns

boolean

Camel 1.6.1/2.0: Is default true. By default, columns are autogenerated in the resulting CSV. Subsequent messages use the previously created columns with new fields being added at the end of the line.

delimiter

String

Camel 2.4: Is default ,. Can be used to configure the delimiter, if it's not the comma.

skipFirstLine

boolean

Camel 2.10: Is default false. While unmarshalling can be used to skip the first line of a CSV input which contains the CSV headers.

Marshalling a Map to CSV

The component allows you to marshal a Java Map (or any other message type that can be converted in a Map) into a CSV payload.

Code Block
xml
xml
<route>
  <from uri="direct:start" />
  <marshal>
    <!-- make use of a strategy other than the default one which is 'org.apache.commons.csv.CSVStrategy.DEFAULT_STRATEGY' -->
    <csv autogenColumns="false" delimiter="|" configRef="csvConfig" strategyRef="excelStrategy" />
  </marshal>
  <convertBodyTo type="java.lang.String" />
  <to uri="mock:result" />
</route>

<bean id="csvConfig" class="org.apache.commons.csv.writer.CSVConfig">
  <property name="fields">
    <list>
      <bean class="org.apache.commons.csv.writer.CSVField">
        <property name="name" value="orderId" />
      </bean>
      <bean class="org.apache.commons.csv.writer.CSVField">
        <property name="name" value="amount" />
      </bean>
    </list>
  </property>
</bean>

<bean id="excelStrategy" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.FieldRetrievingFactoryBean">
  <property name="staticField" value="org.apache.commons.csv.CSVStrategy.EXCEL_STRATEGY" />
</bean>

Using skipFirstLine attribute while unmarshaling

Available as of Camel 2.10

You can instruct the CSV Data Format to skip the first line which contains the CSV headers. Using the Spring/XML DSL:

Code Block
xml
xml

<route>
  <from uri="direct:start" />
  <unmarshal>
    <csv skipFirstLine="true" />
  </unmarshal>
  <to uri="bean:myCsvHandler?method=doHandleCsv" />
</route>

Or the Java DSL:

Code Block

CsvDataFormat csv = new CsvDataFormat();
csv.setSkipFirstLine(true);

from("direct:start")
  .unmarshal(csv)
.to("bean:myCsvHandler?method=doHandleCsv");

Unmarshaling with a pipe as delimiter
