StAX Component
Available as of Camel 2.9
The StAX component allows messages to be process through a SAX ContentHandler.
Another feature of this component is to allow to iterate over JAXB records using StAX, for example using the Splitter EIP.
Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml
for this component:
Code Block |
---|
|
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
<artifactId>camel-stax</artifactId>
<version>x.x.x</version>
<!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>
|
Code Block |
---|
stax:content-handler-class
|
example:
Code Block |
---|
stax:org.superbiz.FooContentHandler
|
From Camel 2.11.1 onwards you can lookup a org.xml.sax.ContentHandler
bean from the Registry using the # syntax as shown:
Code Block |
---|
stax:#myHandler
|
Usage of a content handler as StAX parser
The message body after the handling is the handler itself.
Here an example:
Code Block |
---|
|
from("file:target/in")
.to("stax:org.superbiz.handler.CountingHandler")
// CountingHandler implements org.xml.sax.ContentHandler or extends org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler
.process(new Processor() {
@Override
public void process(Exchange exchange) throws Exception {
CountingHandler handler = exchange.getIn().getBody(CountingHandler.class);
// do some great work with the handler
}
});
|
Iterate over a collection using JAXB and StAX
First we suppose you have JAXB objects.
For instance a list of records in a wrapper object:
Code Block |
---|
|
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlAccessType;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlAccessorType;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlElement;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement;
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
@XmlRootElement(name = "records")
public class Records {
@XmlElement(required = true)
protected List<Record> record;
public List<Record> getRecord() {
if (record == null) {
record = new ArrayList<Record>();
}
return record;
}
}
|
and
Code Block |
---|
|
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlAccessType;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlAccessorType;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlAttribute;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlType;
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
@XmlType(name = "record", propOrder = { "key", "value" })
public class Record {
@XmlAttribute(required = true)
protected String key;
@XmlAttribute(required = true)
protected String value;
public String getKey() {
return key;
}
public void setKey(String key) {
this.key = key;
}
public String getValue() {
return value;
}
public void setValue(String value) {
this.value = value;
}
}
|
Then you get a XML file to process:
Code Block |
---|
|
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<records>
<record value="v0" key="0"/>
<record value="v1" key="1"/>
<record value="v2" key="2"/>
<record value="v3" key="3"/>
<record value="v4" key="4"/>
<record value="v5" key="5"/>
</record>
|
The StAX component provides an StAXBuilder
which can be used when iterating XML elements with the Camel Splitter
Code Block |
---|
|
from("file:target/in")
.split(stax(Record.class)).streaming()
.to("mock:records");
|
Where stax
is a static method on org.apache.camel.component.stax.StAXBuilder
which you can static import in the Java code. The stax builder is by default namespace aware on the XMLReader it uses. From Camel 2.11.1 onwards you can turn this off by setting the boolean parameter to false, as shown below:
Code Block |
---|
|
from("file:target/in")
.split(stax(Record.class, false)).streaming()
.to("mock:records");
|
The previous example with XML DSL
The example above could be implemented as follows in XML DSL
