Corda Options

The Corda component supports 14 options, which are listed below.

Name	Description	Default	Type
configuration (common)	To use a shared configuration.		CordaConfiguration
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
pageSpecification (consumer)	PageSpecification allows specification of a page number (starting from 1) and page size (defaulting to 200 with a maximum page size of (Integer.MAX_INT) Note: we default the page number to 200 to enable queries without requiring a page specification but enabling detection of large results sets that fall out of the 200 requirement. Max page size should be used with extreme caution as results may exceed your JVM memory footprint.	200	PageSpecification
processSnapshot (consumer)	Whether to process snapshots or not	true	boolean
sort (consumer)	Sort allows specification of a set of entity attribute names and their associated directionality and null handling, to be applied upon processing a query specification. The value can be one of: ASC, DESC		Sort
contractStateClass (consumer)	A contract state (or just state) contains opaque data used by a contract program. It can be thought of as a disk file that the program can use to persist data across transactions. States are immutable: once created they are never updated, instead, any changes must generate a new successor state. States can be updated (consumed) only once: the notary is responsible for ensuring there is no double spending by only signing a transaction if the input states are all free.		Class
flowLogicArguments (consumer)	Start the given flow with the given arguments, returning an Observable with a single observation of the result of running the flow. The flowLogicClass must be annotated with net.corda.core.flows.StartableByRPC.		Object[]
flowLogicClass (consumer)	Start the given flow with the given arguments, returning an Observable with a single observation of the result of running the flow. The flowLogicClass must be annotated with net.corda.core.flows.StartableByRPC.		Class
queryCriteria (consumer)	QueryCriteria assumes underlying schema tables are correctly indexed for performance.		QueryCriteria
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
operation (producer)	Operation to use		String
basicPropertyBinding (advanced)	Whether the component should use basic property binding (Camel 2.x) or the newer property binding with additional capabilities	false	boolean
password (security)	Password for login		String
username (security)	Username for login		String

Spring Boot Auto-Configuration

When using corda 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-corda-starter</artifactId>
  <version>x.x.x</version>
  <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>
