  • save, update and from Camel 2.18  delete (by using CouchDbMethod with DELETE value) documents into couch.
  • Can support as many endpoints as required, eg for multiple databases across multiple instances.
  • Ability to have events trigger for only deletes, only inserts/updates or all (default).
  • Headers set for sequenceId, document revision, document id, and HTTP method type.

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

URI format

Code Block

h3. URI format

{code}
couchdb:http://hostname[:port]/database?[options...]://name[?options]

Where hostname is the hostname of the running couchdb instance. Port is optional and if not specified then defaults to 5984.

Options

Div
classconfluenceTableSmall

Property

Default

Description

deletes

true

document deletes are published as events

updates

true

document inserts/updates are published as events

heartbeat

30000

how often to send an empty message to keep socket alive in millis

createDatabase

true

create the database if it does not already exist

username

null

username in case of authenticated databases

password

null

password for authenticated databases

Headers

The following headers are set on exchanges during message transport.

Div
classconfluenceTableSmall

Property

Value

CouchDbDatabase

the database the message came from

CouchDbSeq

the couchdb changeset sequence number of the update / delete message

CouchDbId

the couchdb document id

CouchDbRev

the couchdb document revision

CouchDbMethod

the method (delete / update)

Headers are set by the consumer once the message is received. The producer will also set the headers for downstream processors once the insert/update has taken place. Any headers set prior to the producer are ignored. That means for example, if you set CouchDbId as a header, it will not be used as the id for insertion, the id of the document will still be used.

Message Body

The component will use the message body as the document to be inserted. If the body is an instance of String, then it will be marshalled into a GSON object before insert. This means that the string must be valid JSON or the insert / update will fail. If the body is an instance of a com.google.gson.JsonElement then it will be inserted as is. Otherwise the producer will throw an exception of unsupported body type.

Samples

For example if you wish to consume all inserts, updates and deletes from a CouchDB instance running locally, on port 9999 then you could use the following:

Code Block
{code}

Where *hostname* is the hostname of the running couchdb instance. Port is optional and if not specified then defaults to 5984.
