Usage

Message headers evaluated by the SWF Workflow Producer

A workflow producer allows interacting with a workflow. It can start a new workflow execution, query its state, send signals to a running workflow, or terminate and cancel it.

Wiki Markup
{div:class=confluenceTableSmall}
|| Header || Type || Description ||
| {{CamelSWFOperation}} | {{String}} | The operation to perform on the workflow. Supported operations are: 
SIGNAL, CANCEL, TERMINATE, GET_STATE, START, DESCRIBE, GET_HISTORY. |
| {{CamelSWFWorkflowId}} | {{String}} | A workflow ID to use. |
| {{CamelAwsDdbKeyCamelSWFRunId}} | {{String}} | A worfklow run ID to use. |
| {{CamelSWFStateResultType}} | {{String}} | The type of the result when a workflow state is queried. |
| {{CamelSWFEventName}} | {{String}} | The workflow or activity event name to use. |
| {{CamelSWFVersion}} | {{String}} | The workflow or activity event version to use. |
| {{CamelSWFReason}} | {{String}} | The reason for terminating a workflow. |
| {{CamelSWFDetails}} | {{String}} | Details for terminating a workflow. |
| {{CamelSWFChildPolicy}} | {{String}} | The policy to use on child workflows when terminating a workflow. |
{div}

Message headers set by the SWF Workflow Producer

Wiki Markup
{div:class=confluenceTableSmall}
|| Header || Type || Description ||
| {{CamelSWFWorkflowId}} | {{String}} | The worfklow ID used or newly generated. |
| {{CamelAwsDdbKeyCamelSWFRunId}} | {{String}} | The worfklow run ID used or generated. |
{div}

Message headers set by the SWF Workflow Consumer

A workflow consumer represents the workflow logic. When it is started, it will start polling workflow decision tasks and process them. In addition to processing decision tasks, a workflow consumer route, will also receive signals (send from a workflow producer) or state queries. The primary purpose of a workflow consumer is to schedule activity tasks for execution using activity producers. Actually activity tasks can be scheduled only from a thread started by a workflow consumer.

Wiki Markup
{div:class=confluenceTableSmall}
|| Header || Type || Description ||
| {{CamelSWFAction}} | {{String}} | Indicates what type is the current event: CamelSWFActionExecute, CamelSWFSignalReceivedAction or CamelSWFGetStateAction.  |
| {{CamelSWFWorkflowReplaying}} | {{boolean}} | Indicates whether the current decision task is a replay or not. |
| {{CamelSWFWorkflowStartTime}} | {{long}} | The time of the start event for this decision task. |
{div}

Message headers set by the SWF Activity Producer

An activity producer allows scheduling activity tasks. An activity producer can be used only from a thread started by a workflow consumer ie, it can process synchronous exchanges started by a workflow consumer.

Wiki Markup
{div:class=confluenceTableSmall}
|| Header || Type || Description ||
| {{CamelSWFEventName}} | {{String} | The activity name to schedule. |
| {{CamelSWFVersion}} | {{String}} | The activity version to schedule. |
{div}

Message headers set by the SWF Activity Consumer

Wiki Markup
{div:class=confluenceTableSmall}
|| Header || Type || Description ||
| {{CamelSWFTaskToken}} | {{String}} | The task token that is required to report task completion for manually completed tasks.  |
{div}

Advanced amazonSWClient configuration

If you need more control over the AmazonSimpleWorkflowClient instance configuration you can create your own instance and refer to it from the URI:

The #client refers to a AmazonSimpleWorkflowClient in the Registry.

For example if your Camel Application is running behind a firewall:

Code Block
AWSCredentials awsCredentials = new BasicAWSCredentials("myAccessKey", "mySecretKey");
ClientConfiguration clientConfiguration = new ClientConfiguration();
clientConfiguration.setProxyHost("http://myProxyHost");
clientConfiguration.setProxyPort(8080);

AmazonSimpleWorkflowClient client = new AmazonSimpleWorkflowClient(awsCredentials, clientConfiguration);

registry.bind("client", client);

Dependencies

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml.

Code Block
xml
titlepom.xml
xml
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-aws</artifactId>
    <version>${camel-version}</version>
</dependency>

where ${camel-version} must be replaced by the actual version of Camel (2.13 or higher).
