The Apache iBatis project is no longer active. The project is moved outside Apache and is now know as the MyBatis project.
Therefore we encourage users to use MyBatis instead. This camel-ibatis component will be removed in Camel 3.0.

h2. iBATIS

The *ibatis:* component allows you to query, poll, insert, update and delete data in a relational database using [Apache iBATIS|http://ibatis.apache.org/].

{warning:title=Prefer MyBatis}
The Apache iBatis project is no longer active. The project is moved outside Apache and is now know as the MyBatis project.
Therefore we encourage users to use [MyBatis] instead. This camel-ibatis component will be removed in Camel 3.0.
{warning}

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their {{pom.xml}} for this component:
{code:xml}
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-ibatis</artifactId>
    <version>x.x.x</version>
    <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>
{code}

h3. URI format

{code}

ibatis:statementName[?options]
{code}

Where *statementName* is the name in the iBATIS XML configuration file which maps to the query, insert, update or delete operation you wish to evaluate.

You can append query options to the URI in the following format, {{

h3. Options
{div:class=confluenceTableSmall}
|| Option || Type || Default || Description ||
| {{consumer.onConsume}} | {{String}} | {{null}} | Statements to run after consuming. Can be used, for example, to update rows after they have been consumed and processed in Camel. See sample later. Multiple statements can be separated with comma. |
| {{consumer.useIterator}} | {{boolean}} | {{true}} | If {{true}} each row returned when polling will be processed individually. If {{false}} the entire {{List}} of data is set as the IN body. |
| {{consumer.routeEmptyResultSet}} | {{boolean}} | {{false}} | Sets whether empty result set should be routed or not. By default, empty result sets are not routed. |
| {{statementType}} | {{StatementType}} | {{null}} | Mandatory to specify for IbatisProducer to control which iBatis {{SqlMapClient}} method to invoke. The enum values are: {{QueryForObject}}, {{QueryForList}}, {{Insert}}, {{Update}}, {{Delete}}. |
| {{maxMessagesPerPoll}} | {{int}} | {{0}} | An integer to define a maximum messages to gather per poll. By default, no maximum is set. Can be used to set a limit of e.g. 1000 to avoid when starting up the server that there are thousands of files. Set a value of 0 or negative to disabled it. |
| {{isolation}} | {{String}} | {{TRANSACTION_REPEATABLE_READ}} | *Camel 2.9:* A String the defines the transaction isolation level of the will be used. Allowed values are TRANSACTION_NONE, TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITTED, TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED, TRANSACTION_REPEATABLE_READ, TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE |

}}.

h3. Samples

For example if you wish to consume beans from a JMS queue and insert them into a database you could do the following:

{code}
from("activemq:queue:newAccount").
  to("ibatis:insertAccount?statementType=Insert");
{code}

{code:xml}
  <!-- Insert example, using the Account parameter class -->
  <insert id="insertAccount" parameterClass="Account">
    insert into ACCOUNT (
      ACC_ID,
      ACC_FIRST_NAME,
      ACC_LAST_NAME,
      ACC_EMAIL
    )
    values (
      #id#, #firstName#, #lastName#, #emailAddress#
    )
  </insert>

{code}

h3. Using StatementType for better control of IBatis
When routing to an iBatis endpoint you want more fine grained control so you can control whether the SQL statement to be executed is a {{SELEECT}}, {{UPDATE}}, {{DELETE}} or {{INSERT}} etc. So for instance if we want to route to an iBatis endpoint in which the IN body contains parameters to a {{SELECT}} statement we can do:
{snippet:id=e1|lang=java|url=camel/trunk/components/camel-ibatis/src/test/java/org/apache/camel/component/ibatis/IBatisQueryForObjectTest.java}

}}:
{snippet:id=e1|lang=java|url=camel/trunk/components/camel-ibatis/src/test/java/org/apache/camel/component/ibatis/IBatisQueryForListTest.java}

{snippet:id=e1|lang=java|url=camel/trunk/components/camel-ibatis/src/test/java/org/apache/camel/component/ibatis/IBatisQueryForUpdateTest.java}


h4. Scheduled polling example
Since this component does not support scheduled polling, you need to use another mechanism for triggering the scheduled polls, such as the [Timer] or [Quartz] components.

In the sample below we poll the database, every 30 seconds using the [Timer] component and send the data to the JMS queue:
{code:java}

from("timer://pollTheDatabase?delay=30000").to("ibatis:selectAllAccounts?statementType=QueryForList").to("activemq:queue:allAccounts");
{code}

{code:xml}
  <!-- Select with no parameters using the result map for Account class. -->
  <select id="selectAllAccounts" resultMap="AccountResult">
    select * from ACCOUNT
  </select>

{code}

h4. Using onConsume
This component supports executing statements *after* data have been consumed and processed by Camel. This allows you to do post updates in the database. Notice all statements must be {{UPDATE}} statements. Camel supports executing multiple statements whose name should be separated by comma.

The route below illustrates we execute the *consumeAccount* statement data is processed. This allows us to change the status of the row in the database to processed, so we avoid consuming it twice or more.
{snippet:id=e1|lang=java|url=camel/trunk/components/camel-ibatis/src/test/java/org/apache/camel/component/ibatis/IBatisQueueTest.java}

{snippet:id=e1|lang=xml|url=camel/trunk/components/camel-ibatis/src/test/resources/org/apache/camel/component/ibatis/Account.xml}

{snippet:id=e2|lang=xml|url=camel/trunk/components/camel-ibatis/src/test/resources/org/apache/camel/component/ibatis/Account.xml}
