Chapter 126. SMB Since Camel 4.3 Only consumer is supported. The Server Message Block (SMB) component provides a way to connect natively to SMB file shares, such as those provided by Microsoft Windows or Samba . 126.1. Dependencies When using camel-smb with Red Hat build of Camel Spring Boot, add the following Maven dependency to your pom.xml to have support for auto configuration: <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId> <artifactId>camel-smb-starter</artifactId> </dependency> 126.2. URI format 126.3. Configuring Options Camel components are configured on two separate levels: component level endpoint level 126.3.1. Configuring Component Options At the component level, you set general and shared configurations that are, then, inherited by the endpoints. It is the highest configuration level. For example, a component may have security settings, credentials for authentication, urls for network connection and so forth. Some components only have a few options, and others may have many. Because components typically have pre-configured defaults that are commonly used, then you may often only need to configure a few options on a component; or none at all. You can configure components using: the Component DSL . in a configuration file (application.properties, *.yaml files, etc). directly in the Java code. 126.3.2. Configuring Endpoint Options You usually spend more time setting up endpoints because they have many options. These options help you customize what you want the endpoint to do. The options are also categorized into whether the endpoint is used as a consumer (from), as a producer (to), or both. Configuring endpoints is most often done directly in the endpoint URI as path and query parameters. You can also use the Endpoint DSL and DataFormat DSL as a type safe way of configuring endpoints and data formats in Java. A good practice when configuring options is to use Property Placeholders . Property placeholders provide a few benefits: They help prevent using hardcoded urls, port numbers, sensitive information, and other settings. They allow externalizing the configuration from the code. They help the code to become more flexible and reusable. The following two sections list all the options, firstly for the component followed by the endpoint. 126.4. Component Options The SMB component supports 2 options, which are listed below. Name Description Default Type bridgeErrorHandler (consumer) Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions (if possible) occurred while the Camel consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. Important: This is only possible if the 3rd party component allows Camel to be alerted if an exception was thrown. Some components handle this internally only, and therefore bridgeErrorHandler is not possible. In other situations we may improve the Camel component to hook into the 3rd party component and make this possible for future releases. By default the consumer will use the org.apache.camel.spi.ExceptionHandler to deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored. false boolean autowiredEnabled (advanced) Whether autowiring is enabled. This is used for automatic autowiring options (the option must be marked as autowired) by looking up in the registry to find if there is a single instance of matching type, which then gets configured on the component. This can be used for automatic configuring JDBC data sources, JMS connection factories, AWS Clients, etc. true boolean 126.5. Endpoint Options The SMB endpoint is configured using URI syntax: With the following path and query parameters: 126.5.1. Path Parameters (3 parameters) Name Description Default Type hostname (consumer) Required The share hostname or IP address. String port (consumer) The share port number. 445 int shareName (consumer) The name of the share to connect to. String 126.6. Query Parameters (26 parameters) Name Description Default Type idempotentRepository (consumer) A pluggable repository org.apache.camel.spi.IdempotentRepository which by default use MemoryIdempotentRepository if none is specified. IdempotentRepository path (consumer) Required The path, within the share, to consume the files from. String searchPattern (consumer) The search pattern used to list the files. *.txt String sendEmptyMessageWhenIdle (consumer) If the polling consumer did not poll any files, you can enable this option to send an empty message (no body) instead. false boolean bridgeErrorHandler (consumer (advanced)) Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions (if possible) occurred while the Camel consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. Important: This is only possible if the 3rd party component allows Camel to be alerted if an exception was thrown. Some components handle this internally only, and therefore bridgeErrorHandler is not possible. In other situations we may improve the Camel component to hook into the 3rd party component and make this possible for future releases. By default the consumer will use the org.apache.camel.spi.ExceptionHandler to deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored. false boolean exceptionHandler (consumer (advanced)) To let the consumer use a custom ExceptionHandler. Notice if the option bridgeErrorHandler is enabled then this option is not in use. By default the consumer will deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored. ExceptionHandler exchangePattern (consumer (advanced)) Sets the exchange pattern when the consumer creates an exchange. Enum values: InOnly InOut ExchangePattern pollStrategy (consumer (advanced)) A pluggable org.apache.camel.PollingConsumerPollingStrategy allowing you to provide your custom implementation to control error handling usually occurred during the poll operation before an Exchange have been created and being routed in Camel. PollingConsumerPollStrategy smbIoBean (advanced) An optional SMB I/O bean to use to setup the file access attributes when reading/writing a file. SmbIOBean backoffErrorThreshold (scheduler) The number of subsequent error polls (failed due some error) that should happen before the backoffMultipler should kick-in. int backoffIdleThreshold (scheduler) The number of subsequent idle polls that should happen before the backoffMultipler should kick-in. int backoffMultiplier (scheduler) To let the scheduled polling consumer backoff if there has been a number of subsequent idles/errors in a row. The multiplier is then the number of polls that will be skipped before the actual attempt is happening again. When this option is in use then backoffIdleThreshold and/or backoffErrorThreshold must also be configured. int delay (scheduler) Milliseconds before the poll. 500 long greedy (scheduler) If greedy is enabled, then the ScheduledPollConsumer will run immediately again, if the run polled 1 or more messages. false boolean initialDelay (scheduler) Milliseconds before the first poll starts. 1000 long repeatCount (scheduler) Specifies a maximum limit of number of fires. So if you set it to 1, the scheduler will only fire once. If you set it to 5, it will only fire five times. A value of zero or negative means fire forever. 0 long runLoggingLevel (scheduler) The consumer logs a start/complete log line when it polls. This option allows you to configure the logging level for that. Enum values: TRACE DEBUG INFO WARN ERROR OFF TRACE LoggingLevel scheduledExecutorService (scheduler) Allows for configuring a custom/shared thread pool to use for the consumer. By default each consumer has its own single threaded thread pool. ScheduledExecutorService scheduler (scheduler) To use a cron scheduler from either camel-spring or camel-quartz component. Use value spring or quartz for built in scheduler. none Object schedulerProperties (scheduler) To configure additional properties when using a custom scheduler or any of the Quartz, Spring based scheduler. Map startScheduler (scheduler) Whether the scheduler should be auto started. true boolean timeUnit (scheduler) Time unit for initialDelay and delay options. Enum values: NANOSECONDS MICROSECONDS MILLISECONDS SECONDS MINUTES HOURS DAYS MILLISECONDS TimeUnit useFixedDelay (scheduler) Controls if fixed delay or fixed rate is used. See ScheduledExecutorService in JDK for details. true boolean domain (security) The user domain. String password (security) The password to access the share. String username (security) The username required to access the share. String 126.7. Examples Following example shows how to poll all the files from an SMB file share and read the contents of these files: private void process(Exchange exchange) throws IOException { final File file = exchange.getMessage().getBody(File.class); try (InputStream inputStream = file.getInputStream()) { LOG.debug("Read exchange: {}, with contents: {}", file.getFileInformation(), new String(inputStream.readAllBytes())); } } public void configure() { fromF("smb:%s/%s?username=%s&password=%s&path=/", service.address(), service.shareName(), service.userName(), service.password()) .process(this::process) .to("mock:result"); } Note The File object provided is not a java.io.File instance, but, instead a com.hierynomus.smbj.share.File instance.
