Chapter 2. Migrating to Apache Camel 4 This section provides information that can help you migrate your Apache Camel applications from version 3.20 or higher to 4.0. If you are upgrading from an older Camel 3.x release, such as 3.14, see the individual Upgrade guide to upgrade to the 3.20 release, before upgrading to Apache Camel 4. 2.1. Java versions Apache Camel 4 supports Java 17. Support for Java 11 is dropped. 2.2. Removed Components The following components has been removed: Component Alternative component(s) camel-any23 none camel-atlasmap none camel-atmos none camel-caffeine-lrucache camel-cache, camel-ignite, camel-infinispan camel-cdi camel-spring-boot, camel-quarkus camel-corda none camel-directvm camel-direct camel-dozer camel-mapstruct camel-elasticsearch-rest camel-elasticsearch camel-gora none camel-hbase none camel-hyperledger-aries none camel-iota none camel-ipfs none camel-jbpm none camel-jclouds none camel-johnzon camel-jackson, camel-fastjson, camel-gson camel-microprofile-metrics camel-micrometer, camel-opentelemetry camel-milo none camel-opentracing camel-micrometer, camel-opentelemetry camel-rabbitmq spring-rabbitmq-component camel-rest-swagger camel-openapi-rest camel-restdsl-swagger-plugin camel-restdsl-openapi-plugin camel-resteasy camel-cxf, camel-rest camel-solr none camel-spark none camel-spring-integration none camel-swagger-java camel-openapi-java camel-websocket camel-vertx-websocket camel-websocket-jsr356 camel-vertx-websocket camel-vertx-kafka camel-kafka camel-vm camel-seda camel-weka none camel-xstream camel-jacksonxml camel-zipkin camel-micrometer, camel-opentelemetry 2.3. Logging Camel 4 has upgraded logging facade API slf4j-api from 1.7 to 2.0. 2.4. JUnit 4 All the camel-test modules that were JUnit 4.x based has been removed. All test modules now use JUnit 5. 2.5. API Changes Following APIs are deprecated and removed from version 4: The org.apache.camel.ExchangePattern has removed InOptionalOut . Removed getEndpointMap() method from CamelContext . Removed @FallbackConverter as you should use @Converter(fallback = true) instead. Removed uri attribute on @EndpointInject , @Produce , and @Consume as you should use value (default) instead. For example @Produce(uri = "kafka:cheese") should be changed to @Produce("kafka:cheese") Removed label on @UriEndpoint as you should use category instead. Removed all asyncCallback methods on ProducerTemplate . Use asyncSend or asyncRequest instead. Removed org.apache.camel.spi.OnCamelContextStart . Use org.apache.camel.spi.OnCamelContextStarting instead. Removed org.apache.camel.spi.OnCamelContextStop . Use org.apache.camel.spi.OnCamelContextStopping instead. Decoupled the org.apache.camel.ExtendedCamelContext from the org.apache.camel.CamelContext . Replaced adapt() from org.apache.camel.CamelContext with getCamelContextExtension Decoupled the org.apache.camel.ExtendedExchange from the org.apache.camel.Exchange . Replaced adapt() from org.apache.camel.ExtendedExchange with getExchangeExtension Exchange failure handling status has moved from being a property defined as ExchangePropertyKey.FAILURE_HANDLED to a member of the ExtendedExchange, accessible via `isFailureHandled()`method. Removed Discard and DiscardOldest from org.apache.camel.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolRejectedPolicy . Removed org.apache.camel.builder.SimpleBuilder . Was mostly used internally in Camel with the Java DSL in some situations. Moved org.apache.camel.support.IntrospectionSupport to camel-core-engine for internal use only. End users should use org.apache.camel.spi.BeanInspection instead. Removed archetypeCatalogAsXml method from org.apache.camel.catalog.CamelCatalog . The org.apache.camel.health.HealthCheck method isLiveness is now default false instead of true . Added position method to org.apache.camel.StreamCache . The method configure from the interface org.apache.camel.main.Listener was removed The org.apache.camel.support.EventNotifierSupport abstract class now implements CamelContextAware . The type for dumpRoutes on CamelContext has changed from boolean to String to allow specifying either xml or yaml. Note The org.apache.camel.support.PluginHelper gives easy access to various extensions and context plugins, that was available previously in Camel v3 directly from CamelContext . 2.6. EIP Changes Removed lang attribute for the <description> on every EIPs. The InOnly and InOut EIPs has been removed. Instead, use SetExchangePattern or To where you can specify exchange pattern to use. 2.6.1. Poll Enrich EIP The polled endpoint URI is now stored as property on the Exchange (with key CamelToEndpoint ) like all other EIPs. Before the URI was stored as a message header. 2.6.2. CircuitBreaker EIP The following options in camel-resilience4j was mistakenly not defined as attributes: Option bulkheadEnabled bulkheadMaxConcurrentCalls bulkheadMaxWaitDuration timeoutEnabled timeoutExecutorService timeoutDuration timeoutCancelRunningFuture These options were not exposed in YAML DSL, and in XML DSL you need to migrate from: <circuitBreaker> <resilience4jConfiguration> <timeoutEnabled>true</timeoutEnabled> <timeoutDuration>2000</timeoutDuration> </resilience4jConfiguration> ... </circuitBreaker> To use following attributes instead: <circuitBreaker> <resilience4jConfiguration timeoutEnabled="true" timeoutDuration="2000"/> ... </circuitBreaker> 2.7. XML DSL The <description> to set a description on a route or node, has been changed from an element to an attribute. Example Changed from <route id="myRoute"> <description>Something that this route do</description> <from uri="kafka:cheese"/> ... </route> To [source,xml 2.8. Type Converter The String java.io.File converter has been removed. 2.9. Tracing The Tracer and Backlog Tracer no longer includes internal tracing events from routes that was created by Rest DSL or route templates or Kamelets. You can turn this on, by setting traceTemplates=true in the tracer. The Backlog Tracer has been enhanced and fixed to trace message headers (also streaming types). This means that previously headers of type InputStream was not traced before, but is now included. This could mean that the header stream is positioned at end, and logging the header afterward, may appear as the header value is empty. 2.10. UseOriginalMessage / UseOriginalBody When useOriginalMessage or useOriginalBody is enabled in OnException , OnCompletion or error handlers, then the original message body is defensively copied and if possible converted to StreamCache to ensure the body can be re-read when accessed. Previously the original body was not converted to StreamCache which could lead to the body not able to be read or the stream has been closed. 2.11. Camel Health Health checks are now by default only readiness checks out of the box. Camel provides the CamelContextCheck as both readiness and liveness checks, so there is at least one of each out of the box. Only consumer based health-checks is enabled by default. 2.11.1. Producer Health Checks The option camel.health.components-enabled has been renamed to camel.health.producers-enabled . Some components (in particular AWS) provides also health checks for producers; in Camel 3.x these health checks did not work properly and has been disabled in the source. To continue this behaviour in Camel 4, the producer based health checks are disabled. Notice that camel-kafka comes with producer based health-check that worked in Camel 3, and therefore this change in Camel 4, means that this health-check is disabled. You MUST enable producer health-checks globally, such as in application.properties : camel.health.producers-enabled = true 2.12. JMX Camel now also include MBeans for doCatch and doFinally in the tree of processor MBeans. The ManagedChoiceMBean have renamed choiceStatistics to extendedInformation . The ManagedFailoverLoadBalancerMBean have renamed exceptionStatistics to extendedInformation . The CamelContextMBean and CamelRouteMBean has removed method dumpRouteAsXml(boolean resolvePlaceholders, boolean resolveDelegateEndpoints) . 2.13. YAML DSL The backwards compatible mode Camel 3.14 or older, which allowed to have steps as child to route has been removed. The old syntax: - route: from: uri: "direct:info" steps: - log: "message" should be changed to: - route: from: uri: "direct:info" steps: - log: "message" 2.14. Backlog Tracing The option backlogTracing=true is now automatically enabled to start the tracer on startup. In the versions the tracer was only made available, and had to be manually enabled afterwards. The old behavior can be archived by setting backlogTracingStandby=true . Move the following class from org.apache.camel.api.management.mbean.BacklogTracerEventMessage in camel-management-api JAR to org.apache.camel.spi.BacklogTracerEventMessage in camel-api JAR. The org.apache.camel.impl.debugger.DefaultBacklogTracerEventMessage has been refactored into an interface org.apache.camel.spi.BacklogTracerEventMessage with some additional details about traced messages. For example Camel now captures a first and last trace that contains the input and outgoing (if InOut ) messages. 2.15. XML serialization The default xml serialization using ModelToXMLDumper has been improved and now uses a generated xml serializer located in the camel-xml-io module instead of the JAXB based one from camel-jaxb . 2.16. OpenAPI Maven Plugin The camel-restdsl-openapi-plugin Maven plugin now uses platform-http as the default rest component in the generated Rest DSL code. Previously the default was servlet. However, platform-http is a better default that works out of the box with Spring Boot and Quarkus. 2.17. Component changes 2.17.1. Category The number of enums for org.apache.camel.Category has been reduced from 83 to 37, which means custom components that are using removed values need to choose one of the remainder values. We have done this to consolidate the number of categories of all components in the Camel community. 2.17.2. camel-openapi-rest-dsl-generator This dsl-generator has updated the underlying model classes ( apicurio-data-models ) from 1.1.27 to 2.0.3. 2.17.3. camel-atom The camel-atom component has changed the 3rd party atom client from Apache Abdera to RSSReader. This means the feed object is changed from org.apache.abdera.model.Feed to com.apptasticsoftware.rssreader.Item . 2.17.4. camel-azure-cosmosdb The itemPartitionKey has been updated. It's now a String a not a PartitionKey anymore. More details in CAMEL-19222. 2.17.5. camel-bean When using the method option to refer to a specific method, and using parameter types and values, such as: "bean:myBean?method=foo(com.foo.MyOrder, true)" then any class types must now be using .class syntax, i.e. com.foo.MyOrder should now be com.foo.MyOrder.class . Example This also applies to Java types such as String, int. 2.17.6. camel-box Upgraded from Box Java SDK v2 to v4, which have some method signature changes. The method to get a file thumbnail is no longer available. 2.17.7. camel-caffeine The keyType parameter has been removed. The Key for the cache will now be only String type. More information in CAMEL-18877. 2.17.8. camel-fhir The underlying hapi-fhir library has been upgraded from 4.2.0 to 6.2.4. Only the Delete API method has changed and now returns ca.uhn.fhir.rest.api.MethodOutcome instead of org.hl7.fhir.instance.model.api.IBaseOperationOutcome . See hapi-fhir for a more detailed list of underlying changes (only the hapi-fhir client is used in Camel). 2.17.9. camel-google The API based components camel-google-drive , camel-google-calendar , camel-google-sheets and camel-google-mail has been upgraded from Google Java SDK v1 to v2 and to latest API revisions. The camel-google-drive and camel-google-sheets have some API methods changes, but the others are identical as before. 2.17.10. camel-http The component has been upgraded to use Apache HttpComponents v5 which has an impact on how the underlying client is configured. There are 4 different timeouts ( connectionRequestTimeout , connectTimeout , soTimeout and responseTimeout ) instead of initially 3 ( connectionRequestTimeout , connectTimeout and socketTimeout ) and the default value of some of them has changed so please refer to the documentation for more details. Please note that the socketTimeout has been removed from the possible configuration parameters of HttpClient , use responseTimeout instead. Finally, the option soTimeout along with any parameters included into SocketConfig , need to be prefixed by httpConnection. , the rest of the parameters including those defined into HttpClientBuilder and RequestConfig still need to be prefixed by httpClient. like before. 2.17.11. camel-http-common The API in org.apache.camel.http.common.HttpBinding has changed slightly to be more reusable. The parseBody method now takes in HttpServletRequest as input parameter. And all HttpMessage has been changed to generic Message types. 2.17.12. camel-kubernetes The io.fabric8:kubernetes-client library has been upgraded and some deprecated API usage has been removed. Operations previously prefixed with replace are now prefixed with update . For example replaceConfigMap is now updateConfigMap , replacePod is now updatePod etc. The corresponding constants in class KubernetesOperations are also renamed. REPLACE_CONFIGMAP_OPERATION is now UPDATE_CONFIGMAP_OPERATION , REPLACE_POD_OPERATION is now UPDATE_POD_OPERATION etc. 2.17.13. camel-main The following constants has been moved from BaseMainSupport / Main to MainConstants : Old Name New Name Main.DEFAULT_PROPERTY_PLACEHOLDER_LOCATION MainConstants.DEFAULT_PROPERTY_PLACEHOLDER_LOCATION Main.INITIAL_PROPERTIES_LOCATION MainConstants.INITIAL_PROPERTIES_LOCATION Main.OVERRIDE_PROPERTIES_LOCATION MainConstants.OVERRIDE_PROPERTIES_LOCATION Main.PROPERTY_PLACEHOLDER_LOCATION MainConstants.PROPERTY_PLACEHOLDER_LOCATION 2.17.14. camel-micrometer The metrics has been renamed to follow Micrometer naming convention . Old Name New Name CamelExchangeEventNotifier camel.exchange.event.notifier CamelExchangesFailed camel.exchanges.failed CamelExchangesFailuresHandled camel.exchanges.failures.handled CamelExchangesInflight camel.exchanges.external.redeliveries CamelExchangesSucceeded camel.exchanges.succeeded CamelExchangesTotal camel.exchanges.total CamelMessageHistory camel.message.history CamelRoutePolicy camel.route.policy CamelRoutePolicyLongTask camel.route.policy.long.task CamelRoutesAdded camel.routes.added CamelRoutesRunning camel.routes.running 2.17.15. camel-jbang The command camel dependencies has been renamed to camel dependency . In Camel CLI the -dir parameter for init and run goal has been renamed to require 2 dashes --dir like all the other options. The camel stop command will now by default stop all running integrations (the option --all has been removed). The Placeholders substitutes is changed to use #name instead of USDname syntax. 2.17.16. camel-openapi-java The camel-openapi-java component has been changed to use io.swagger.v3 libraries instead of io.apicurio.datamodels . As a result, the return type of the public method org.apache.camel.openapi.RestOpenApiReader.read() is now io.swagger.v3.oas.models.OpenAPI instead of io.apicurio.datamodels.openapi.models.OasDocument . When an OpenAPI 2.0 (swagger) specification is parsed, it is automatically upgraded to OpenAPI 3.0.x by the swagger parser. This version also supports OpenAPI 3.1.x specifications. The related spring-boot starter components have been modified to use the new return type. 2.17.17. camel-salesforce Property names of blob fields on generated DTOs no longer have 'Url' affixed. For example, the ContentVersionUrl property is now ContentVersion . 2.17.18. camel-slack The default delay (on slack consumer) is changed from 0.5s to 10s to avoid being rate limited to often by Slack. 2.17.19. camel-spring-rabbitmq The option replyTimeout in camel-spring-rabbitmq has been fixed and the default value from 5 to 30 seconds (this is the default used by Spring). 2.18. Camel Spring Boot The camel-spring-boot dependency no longer includes camel-spring-xml . To use legacy Spring XML files <beans> with Camel on Spring Boot, then include the camel-spring-boot-xml-starter dependency. 2.18.1. Graceful Shutdown Camel now shutdowns a bit later during Spring Boot shutdown. This allows Spring Boot graceful shutdown to complete first (stopping Spring Boot HTTP server gracefully), and then afterward Camel is doing its own Graceful Shutdown . Technically camel-spring has changed getPhase() from returning Integer.MAX_VALUE to Integer.MAX_VALUE - 2049 . This gives room for Spring Boot services to shut down first. 2.18.2. camel-micrometer-starter The uri tags are now static instead of dynamic (by default), as potential too many tags generated due to URI with dynamic values. This can be enabled again by setting camel.metrics.uriTagDynamic=true . 2.18.3. camel-platform-http-starter The platform-http-starter has been changed from using camel-servlet to use Spring HTTP server directly. Therefore, all the HTTP endpoints are no longer prefixed with the servlet context-path (default is camel ). For example: from("platform-http:myservice") .to("...") Then calling myservice would before require to include the context-path, such as http://localhost:8080/camel/myservice . Now the context-path is not in use, and the endpoint can be called with http://localhost:8080/myservice . Note The platform-http-starter can also be used with Rest DSL. If the route or consumer is suspended then http status 503 is now returned instead of 404. 2.18.4. camel-twitter The component was updated to use Twitter4j version 4.1.2, which has moved the packages used by a few of its classes. If accessing certain twitter-related data, such as the Twit status, you need to update the packages used from twitter4j.Status to twitter4j.v1.Status .
