Guava EventBus Component

The Google Guava EventBus allows publish-subscribe-style communication between components without requiring the components to explicitly register with one another (and thus be aware of each other). The guava-eventbus: component provides integration bridge between Camel and Google Guava EventBus infrastructure. With the latter component, messages exchanged with the Guava EventBus can be transparently forwarded to the Camel routes. EventBus component allows also to route body of Camel exchanges to the Guava EventBus.

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

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

URI format

guava-eventbus:busName[?options]

Where busName represents the name of the com.google.common.eventbus.EventBus instance located in the Camel registry.

Options

Usage

Using guava-eventbus component on the consumer side of the route will capture messages sent to the Guava EventBus and forward them to the Camel route. Guava EventBus consumer processes incoming messages asynchronously.

SimpleRegistry registry = new SimpleRegistry();
EventBus eventBus = new EventBus();
registry.put("busName", eventBus);
CamelContext camel = new DefaultCamelContext(registry);

from("guava-eventbus:busName").to("seda:queue");

eventBus.post("Send me to the SEDA queue.");

Using guava-eventbus component on the producer side of the route will forward body of the Camel exchanges to the Guava EventBus instance.

SimpleRegistry registry = new SimpleRegistry();
EventBus eventBus = new EventBus();
registry.put("busName", eventBus);
CamelContext camel = new DefaultCamelContext(registry);

from("direct:start").to("guava-eventbus:busName");

ProducerTemplate producerTemplate = camel.createProducerTemplate();
producer.sendBody("direct:start", "Send me to the Guava EventBus.");

eventBus.register(new Object(){
  @Subscribe
  public void messageHander(String message) {
    System.out.println("Message received from the Camel: " + message);
  }
});
