URI Options

The AWS Simple Email Service (SES) component supports 14 options, which are listed below.

Name	Description	Default	Type
amazonSESClient (producer)	To use the AmazonSimpleEmailService as the client		AmazonSimpleEmailService
configuration (producer)	The component configuration		SesConfiguration
lazyStartProducer (producer)	Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.	false	boolean
proxyHost (producer)	To define a proxy host when instantiating the SES client		String
proxyPort (producer)	To define a proxy port when instantiating the SES client		Integer
proxyProtocol (producer)	To define a proxy protocol when instantiating the SES client. The value can be one of: HTTP, HTTPS	HTTPS	Protocol
region (producer)	The region in which SES client needs to work. When using this parameter, the configuration will expect the capitalized name of the region (for example AP_EAST_1) You’ll need to use the name Regions.EU_WEST_1.name()		String
replyToAddresses (producer)	List of reply-to email address(es) for the message, override it using 'CamelAwsSesReplyToAddresses' header.		List
returnPath (producer)	The email address to which bounce notifications are to be forwarded, override it using 'CamelAwsSesReturnPath' header.		String
subject (producer)	The subject which is used if the message header 'CamelAwsSesSubject' is not present.		String
to (producer)	List of destination email address. Can be overriden with 'CamelAwsSesTo' header.		List

The sender’s email address.

CamelAwsSesTo

List<String>

The destination(s) for this email.

CamelAwsSesSubject

Advanced AmazonSimpleEmailService configuration

If you need more control over the AmazonSimpleEmailService instance configuration you can create your own instance and refer to it from the URI:

from("direct:start")
.to("aws-ses://example@example.com?amazonSESClient=#client");

The #client refers to a AmazonSimpleEmailService in the Registry.

For example if your Camel Application is running behind a firewall:

AWSCredentials awsCredentials = new BasicAWSCredentials("myAccessKey", "mySecretKey");
ClientConfiguration clientConfiguration = new ClientConfiguration();
clientConfiguration.setProxyHost("http://myProxyHost");
clientConfiguration.setProxyPort(8080);
AmazonSimpleEmailService client = new AmazonSimpleEmailServiceClient(awsCredentials, clientConfiguration);

registry.bind("client", client);

Automatic detection of AmazonSimpleEmailService client in registry

The component is capable of detecting the presence of an AmazonSimpleEmailService bean into the registry. If it’s the only instance of that type it will be used as client and you won’t have to define it as uri parameter. This may be really useful for smarter configuration of the endpoint.

Producer Examples

from("direct:start")
    .setHeader(SesConstants.SUBJECT, constant("This is my subject"))
    .setHeader(SesConstants.TO, constant(Collections.singletonList("to@example.com"))
    .setBody(constant("This is my message text."))
    .to("aws-ses://from@example.com?accessKey=xxx&secretKey=yyy");

Dependencies

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml.

pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-aws-ses</artifactId>
    <version>${camel-version}</version>
</dependency>

where ${camel-version} must be replaced by the actual version of Camel.

Spring Boot Auto-Configuration

When using aws-ses with Spring Boot make sure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for auto configuration:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-aws-ses-starter</artifactId>
  <version>x.x.x</version>
  <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>
