Starting with Camel 2.5, Camel supports 3rd part party UUID generator(s). This is useful, if e.g. your messaging provider does not support UUID's with a length of 36 characters (like Websphere MQ). Another useful scenario is to use a simple counter for testing purpose. With this it is easier to correlate the exchanges in the log/debugger.
Camel uses UUIDs in the exchange and message ids, and other unique ids it uses.
You only have to implement org.apache.camel.spi.UuidGenerator
and tell Camel, that it should use your custom implementation:
Configuring from Java DSL
Code Block |
---|
getContext().setUuidGenerator(new MyCustomUuidGenerator());
|
...
Camel will configure this UUID generator by doing a lookup in the Spring bean registry to find the bean of the type org.apache.camel.spi.UuidGenerator
.
Code Block |
---|
<bean id="activeMQUuidGenerator" class="org.apache.camel.impl.ActiveMQUuidGenerator" />
<camelContext id="camel" xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring">
<route>
<from uri="direct:start" />
<to uri="mock:result" />
</route>
</camelContext>

...
Camel comes with three implementations of org.apache.camel.spi.UuidGenerator
:
org.apache.camel.impl.
...
JavaUuidGenerator
- This implementation usesjava.util.UUID
. Thejava.util.UUID
is synchronized and can therefore affect performance on high concurrent systems. Therefore consider one of the generators.org.apache.camel.impl.SimpleUuidGenerator
- This implementation use internally ajava.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicLong
and increase the ID for every call by one. Starting with 1 as the first id.org.apache.camel.impl.ActiveMQUuidGenerator
- This implementation use the ActiveMQ style of ID's. This implementation may use some APIs from the JDK which is forbidden to use if running in the cloud (such as Google App Engine) and therefore you may have to use one of the other generators.
ActiveMQUuidGenerator
From Camel 2.10.7/2.11.1 onwards the JVM system property with key: activemq.idgenerator.port
can be used to assign a specific port which is used during initialization of the UUID generator. By default the port number 0 is used. Though in some cloud infrastructures this is not allowed, and thus a specific port can be assigned instead.
The default generator
From Camel
...
2.5 onwards the ActiveMQUuidGenerator
is the default generator because its the fastest.
In Camel 2.4 or older the default is the JavaUuidGenerator
generator.
In Camel 1.x the default generator is likewise the ActiveMQUuidGenerator
.
