Database
Camel can work with databases in a number of different ways. This document tries to outline the most common approaches.
Database endpoints
Camel provides a number of different endpoints for working with databases
- JPA for working with hibernate, openjpa or toplink. When consuming from the endpoints entity beans are read (and deleted/updated to mark as processed) then when producing to the endpoints they are written to the database (via insert/update).
- iBatis similar to the above but using Apache iBATIS
- JDBC similar though using explicit SQL
Database pattern implementations
Various patterns can work with databases as follows
- Idempotent Consumer
- Aggregator
- BAM for business activity monitoring
