Chapter 231. MQTT Component Available as of Camel version 2.10 The mqtt: component is used for communicating with MQTT compliant message brokers, like Apache ActiveMQ or Mosquitto Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml for this component: <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId> <artifactId>camel-mqtt</artifactId> <version>x.x.x</version> <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version --> </dependency> 231.1. URI format mqtt://name[?options] Where name is the name you want to assign the component. 231.2. Options The MQTT component supports 4 options, which are listed below. Name Description Default Type host (common) The URI of the MQTT broker to connect too - this component also supports SSL - e.g. ssl://127.0.0.1:8883 String userName (security) Username to be used for authentication against the MQTT broker String password (security) Password to be used for authentication against the MQTT broker String resolveProperty Placeholders (advanced) Whether the component should resolve property placeholders on itself when starting. Only properties which are of String type can use property placeholders. true boolean The MQTT endpoint is configured using URI syntax: with the following path and query parameters: 231.2.1. Path Parameters (1 parameters): Name Description Default Type name Required A logical name to use which is not the topic name. String 231.2.2. Query Parameters (39 parameters): Name Description Default Type blockingExecutor (common) SSL connections perform blocking operations against internal thread pool unless you call the setBlockingExecutor method to configure that executor they will use instead. Executor byDefaultRetain (common) The default retain policy to be used on messages sent to the MQTT broker false boolean cleanSession (common) Set to false if you want the MQTT server to persist topic subscriptions and ack positions across client sessions. Defaults to true. false boolean clientId (common) Use to set the client Id of the session. This is what an MQTT server uses to identify a session where setCleanSession(false); is being used. The id must be 23 characters or less. Defaults to auto generated id (based on your socket address, port and timestamp). String connectAttemptsMax (common) The maximum number of reconnect attempts before an error is reported back to the client on the first attempt by the client to connect to a server. Set to -1 to use unlimited attempts. Defaults to -1. -1 long connectWaitInSeconds (common) Delay in seconds the Component will wait for a connection to be established to the MQTT broker 10 int disconnectWaitInSeconds (common) The number of seconds the Component will wait for a valid disconnect on stop() from the MQTT broker 5 int dispatchQueue (common) A HawtDispatch dispatch queue is used to synchronize access to the connection. If an explicit queue is not configured via the setDispatchQueue method, then a new queue will be created for the connection. Setting an explicit queue might be handy if you want multiple connection to share the same queue for synchronization. DispatchQueue host (common) The URI of the MQTT broker to connect too - this component also supports SSL - e.g. ssl://127.0.0.1:8883 tcp://127.0.0.1:1883 URI keepAlive (common) Configures the Keep Alive timer in seconds. Defines the maximum time interval between messages received from a client. It enables the server to detect that the network connection to a client has dropped, without having to wait for the long TCP/IP timeout. short localAddress (common) The local InetAddress and port to use URI maxReadRate (common) Sets the maximum bytes per second that this transport will receive data at. This setting throttles reads so that the rate is not exceeded. Defaults to 0 which disables throttling. int maxWriteRate (common) Sets the maximum bytes per second that this transport will send data at. This setting throttles writes so that the rate is not exceeded. Defaults to 0 which disables throttling. int mqttQosPropertyName (common) The property name to look for on an Exchange for an individual published message. If this is set (one of AtMostOnce, AtLeastOnce or ExactlyOnce ) - then that QoS will be set on the message sent to the MQTT message broker. MQTTQos String mqttRetainPropertyName (common) The property name to look for on an Exchange for an individual published message. If this is set (expects a Boolean value) - then the retain property will be set on the message sent to the MQTT message broker. MQTTRetain String mqttTopicPropertyName (common) These a properties that are looked for in an Exchange - to publish to MQTTTopicPropertyName String publishTopicName (common) The default Topic to publish messages on camel/mqtt/test String qualityOfService (common) Quality of service level to use for topics. AtLeastOnce String receiveBufferSize (common) Sets the size of the internal socket receive buffer. Defaults to 65536 (64k) 65536 int reconnectAttemptsMax (common) The maximum number of reconnect attempts before an error is reported back to the client after a server connection had previously been established. Set to -1 to use unlimited attempts. Defaults to -1. -1 long reconnectBackOffMultiplier (common) The Exponential backoff be used between reconnect attempts. Set to 1 to disable exponential backoff. Defaults to 2. 2.0 double reconnectDelay (common) How long to wait in ms before the first reconnect attempt. Defaults to 10. 10 long reconnectDelayMax (common) The maximum amount of time in ms to wait between reconnect attempts. Defaults to 30,000. 30000 long sendBufferSize (common) Sets the size of the internal socket send buffer. Defaults to 65536 (64k) 65536 int sendWaitInSeconds (common) The maximum time the Component will wait for a receipt from the MQTT broker to acknowledge a published message before throwing an exception 5 int sslContext (common) To configure security using SSLContext configuration SSLContext subscribeTopicName (common) Deprecated These are set on the Endpoint - together with properties inherited from MQTT String subscribeTopicNames (common) A comma-delimited list of Topics to subscribe to for messages. Note that each item of this list can contain MQTT wildcards ( and/or #), in order to subscribe to topics matching a certain pattern within a hierarchy. For example, is a wildcard for all topics at a level within the hierarchy, so if a broker has topics topics/one and topics/two, then topics/ can be used to subscribe to both. A caveat to consider here is that if the broker adds topics/three, the route would also begin to receive messages from that topic. String trafficClass (common) Sets traffic class or type-of-service octet in the IP header for packets sent from the transport. Defaults to 8 which means the traffic should be optimized for throughput. 8 int version (common) Set to 3.1.1 to use MQTT version 3.1.1. Otherwise defaults to the 3.1 protocol version. 3.1 String willMessage (common) The Will message to send. Defaults to a zero length message. String willQos (common) Sets the quality of service to use for the Will message. Defaults to AT_MOST_ONCE. AtMostOnce QoS willRetain (common) Set to true if you want the Will to be published with the retain option. QoS willTopic (common) If set the server will publish the client's Will message to the specified topics if the client has an unexpected disconnection. String bridgeErrorHandler (consumer) Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions occurred while the consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. 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) 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) Sets the exchange pattern when the consumer creates an exchange. ExchangePattern lazySessionCreation (producer) Sessions can be lazily created to avoid exceptions, if the remote server is not up and running when the Camel producer is started. true boolean synchronous (advanced) Sets whether synchronous processing should be strictly used, or Camel is allowed to use asynchronous processing (if supported). false boolean 231.3. Spring Boot Auto-Configuration The component supports 5 options, which are listed below. Name Description Default Type camel.component.mqtt.enabled Enable mqtt component true Boolean camel.component.mqtt.host The URI of the MQTT broker to connect too - this component also supports SSL - e.g. ssl://127.0.0.1:8883 String camel.component.mqtt.password Password to be used for authentication against the MQTT broker String camel.component.mqtt.resolve-property-placeholders Whether the component should resolve property placeholders on itself when starting. Only properties which are of String type can use property placeholders. true Boolean camel.component.mqtt.user-name Username to be used for authentication against the MQTT broker String 231.4. Samples Sending messages: from("direct:foo").to("mqtt:cheese?publishTopicName=test.mqtt.topic"); Consuming messages: from("mqtt:bar?subscribeTopicName=test.mqtt.topic").transform(body().convertToString()).to("mock:result") 231.5. Endpoints Camel supports the Message Endpoint pattern using the Endpoint interface. Endpoints are usually created by a Component and Endpoints are usually referred to in the DSL via their URIs. From an Endpoint you can use the following methods createProducer() will create a Producer for sending message exchanges to the endpoint createConsumer() implements the Event Driven Consumer pattern for consuming message exchanges from the endpoint via a Processor when creating a Consumer createPollingConsumer() implements the Polling Consumer pattern for consuming message exchanges from the endpoint via a PollingConsumer 231.6.
