AWS Simple Notification System (SNS)

Since Camel 2.8

Only producer is supported

The SNS component allows messages to be sent to an Amazon Simple Notification Topic. The implementation of the Amazon API is provided by the AWS SDK.

Prerequisites

You must have a valid Amazon Web Services developer account, and be signed up to use Amazon SNS. More information is available at Amazon SNS.

URI Format

aws-sns://topicNameOrArn[?options]

The topic will be created if they don’t already exists.
You can append query options to the URI in the following format, ?options=value&option2=value&…​

URI Options

The AWS Simple Notification System (SNS) component supports 19 options, which are listed below.

Name Description Default Type

amazonSNSClient (producer)

To use the AmazonSNS as the client

AmazonSNS

amazonSQSClient (producer)

An SQS Client to use as bridge between SNS and SQS

AmazonSQS

autoCreateTopic (producer)

Setting the autocreation of the topic

true

boolean

configuration (producer)

The component configuration

SnsConfiguration

kmsMasterKeyId (producer)

The ID of an AWS-managed customer master key (CMK) for Amazon SNS or a custom CMK.

String

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

messageStructure (producer)

The message structure to use such as json

String

region (producer)

The region in which SNS 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

serverSideEncryptionEnabled (producer)

Define if Server Side Encryption is enabled or not on the topic

false

boolean

subject (producer)

Required SNS component options

You have to provide the amazonSNSClient in the Registry or your accessKey and secretKey to access the Amazon’s SNS.

Usage

Message headers evaluated by the SNS producer

Header Type Description

CamelAwsSnsSubject

String

The Amazon SNS message subject. If not set, the subject from the SnsConfiguration is used.

Message headers set by the SNS producer

Header Type Description

CamelAwsSnsMessageId

String

The Amazon SNS message ID.

Advanced AmazonSNS configuration

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

from("direct:start")
.to("aws-sns://MyTopic?amazonSNSClient=#client");

The #client refers to a AmazonSNS 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);
AmazonSNS client = new AmazonSNSClient(awsCredentials, clientConfiguration);

registry.bind("client", client);

Create a subscription between an AWS SNS Topic and an AWS SQS Queue

You can create a subscription of an SQS Queue to an SNS Topic in this way:

from("direct:start")
.to("aws-sns://test-camel-sns1?amazonSNSClient=#amazonSNSClient&amazonSQSClient=#amazonSQSClient&subscribeSNStoSQS=true&queueUrl=https://sqs.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/780410022472/test-camel");

The #amazonSNSClient refers to a AmazonSNS in the Registry, while the #amazonSQSClient refers to an AmazonSQS client. By specifying subscribeSNStoSQS to true and a queueUrl of an existing SQS Queue, you’ll be able to subscribe your SQS Queue to your SNS Topic.

At this point you can consume messages coming from SNS Topic through your SQS Queue

from("aws-sqs://test-camel?amazonSQSClient=#amazonSQSClient&delay=50&maxMessagesPerPoll=5")
    .to(...);

Topic Autocreation

With the option autoCreateTopic users are able to avoid the autocreation of an SNS Topic in case it doesn’t exist. The default for this option is true. If set to false any operation on a not-existent topic in AWS won’t be successful and an error will be returned.

Automatic detection of AmazonSNS client in registry

The component is capable of detecting the presence of an AmazonSNS 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.

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-sns</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-sns 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-sns-starter</artifactId>
  <version>x.x.x</version>
  <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
