AWS S3 Storage Service

Since Camel 2.8

The S3 component supports storing and retrieving objetcs from/to Amazon’s S3 service.

Prerequisites

You must have a valid Amazon Web Services developer account, and be signed up to use Amazon S3. More information are available at Amazon S3.

URI Format

aws-s3://bucketNameOrArn[?options]

The bucket will be created if it don’t already exists.

 You can append query options to the URI in the following format,
?options=value&option2=value&...

For example in order to read file hello.txt from bucket helloBucket, use the following snippet:

from("aws-s3:helloBucket?accessKey=yourAccessKey&secretKey=yourSecretKey&prefix=hello.txt")
  .to("file:/var/downloaded");

URI Options

The AWS S3 Storage Service component supports 5 options, which are listed below.

Name Description Default Type

configuration (advanced)

The AWS S3 default configuration

S3Configuration

accessKey (common)

Amazon AWS Access Key

String

secretKey (common)

Amazon AWS Secret Key

String

region (common)

The region where the bucket is located. This option is used in the com.amazonaws.services.s3.model.CreateBucketRequest.

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 AWS S3 Storage Service endpoint is configured using URI syntax:

aws-s3:bucketNameOrArn

with the following path and query parameters:

Path Parameters (1 parameters):

Name Description Default Type

bucketNameOrArn

Required Bucket name or ARN

String

Query Parameters (50 parameters):

Name Description Default Type

amazonS3Client (common)

Reference to a com.amazonaws.services.sqs.AmazonS3 in the registry.

AmazonS3

pathStyleAccess (common)

Whether or not the S3 client should use path style access

false

boolean

policy (common)

The policy for this queue to set in the com.amazonaws.services.s3.AmazonS3#setBucketPolicy() method.

String

proxyHost (common)

To define a proxy host when instantiating the SQS client

String

proxyPort (common)

Specify a proxy port to be used inside the client definition.

Integer

region (common)

The region in which S3 client needs to work

String

useIAMCredentials (common)

Set whether the S3 client should expect to load credentials on an EC2 instance or to expect static credentials to be passed in.

false

boolean

encryptionMaterials (common)

The encryption materials to use in case of Symmetric/Asymmetric client usage

EncryptionMaterials

useEncryption (common)

Define if encryption must be used or not

false

boolean

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

deleteAfterRead (consumer)

Delete objects from S3 after they have been retrieved. The delete is only performed if the Exchange is committed. If a rollback occurs, the object is not deleted. If this option is false, then the same objects will be retrieve over and over again on the polls. Therefore you need to use the Idempotent Consumer EIP in the route to filter out duplicates. You can filter using the S3Constants#BUCKET_NAME and S3Constants#KEY headers, or only the S3Constants#KEY header.

true

boolean

fileName (consumer)

To get the object from the bucket with the given file name

String

includeBody (consumer)

If it is true, the exchange body will be set to a stream to the contents of the file. If false, the headers will be set with the S3 object metadata, but the body will be null. This option is strongly related to autocloseBody option. In case of setting includeBody to true and autocloseBody to false, it will be up to the caller to close the S3Object stream. Setting autocloseBody to true, will close the S3Object stream automatically.

true

boolean

maxConnections (consumer)

Set the maxConnections parameter in the S3 client configuration

60

int

maxMessagesPerPoll (consumer)

Gets the maximum number of messages as a limit to poll at each polling. Is default unlimited, but use 0 or negative number to disable it as unlimited.

10

int

prefix (consumer)

The prefix which is used in the com.amazonaws.services.s3.model.ListObjectsRequest to only consume objects we are interested in.

String

sendEmptyMessageWhenIdle (consumer)

If the polling consumer did not poll any files, you can enable this option to send an empty message (no body) instead.

false

boolean

autocloseBody (consumer)

If this option is true and includeBody is true, then the S3Object.close() method will be called on exchange completion. This option is strongly related to includeBody option. In case of setting includeBody to true and autocloseBody to false, it will be up to the caller to close the S3Object stream. Setting autocloseBody to true, will close the S3Object stream automatically.

true

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

pollStrategy (consumer)

A pluggable org.apache.camel.PollingConsumerPollingStrategy allowing you to provide your custom implementation to control error handling usually occurred during the poll operation before an Exchange have been created and being routed in Camel.

  • deleteObject

  • listBuckets

  • deleteBucket

  • downloadLink

  • listObjects

Advanced AmazonS3 configuration

If your Camel Application is running behind a firewall or if you need to have more control over the AmazonS3 instance configuration, you can create your own instance:

AWSCredentials awsCredentials = new BasicAWSCredentials("myAccessKey", "mySecretKey");

ClientConfiguration clientConfiguration = new ClientConfiguration();
clientConfiguration.setProxyHost("http://myProxyHost");
clientConfiguration.setProxyPort(8080);

AmazonS3 client = new AmazonS3Client(awsCredentials, clientConfiguration);

registry.bind("client", client);

and refer to it in your Camel aws-s3 component configuration:

from("aws-s3://MyBucket?amazonS3Client=#client&delay=5000&maxMessagesPerPoll=5")
.to("mock:result");

Use KMS with the S3 component

To use AWS KMS to encrypt/decrypt data by using AWS infrastructure you can use the options introduced in 2.21.x like in the following example

from("file:tmp/test?fileName=test.txt")
     .setHeader(S3Constants.KEY, constant("testFile"))
     .to("aws-s3://mybucket?amazonS3Client=#client&useAwsKMS=true&awsKMSKeyId=3f0637ad-296a-3dfe-a796-e60654fb128c");

In this way you’ll ask to S3, to use the KMS key 3f0637ad-296a-3dfe-a796-e60654fb128c, to encrypt the file test.txt. When you’ll ask to download this file, the decryption will be done directly before the download.

Use "useIAMCredentials" with the s3 component

To use AWS IAM credentials, you must first verify that the EC2 in which you are launching the Camel application on has an IAM role associated with it containing the appropriate policies attached to run effectively. Keep in mind that this feature should only be set to "true" on remote instances. To clarify even further, you must still use static credentials locally since IAM is an AWS specific component, but AWS environments should now be easier to manage. After this is implemented and understood, you can set the query parameter "useIAMCredentials" to "true" for AWS environments! To effectively toggle this on and off based on local and remote environments, you can consider enabling this query parameter with system environment variables. For example, your code could set the "useIAMCredentials" query parameter to "true", when the system environment variable called "isRemote" is set to true (there are many other ways to do this and this should act as a simple example). Although it doesn’t take away the need for static credentials completely, using IAM credentials on AWS environments takes away the need to refresh on remote environments and adds a major security boost (IAM credentials are refreshed automatically every 6 hours and update when their policies are updated). This is the AWS recommended way to manage credentials and therefore should be used as often as possible.

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</artifactId>
    <version>${camel-version}</version>
</dependency>

where ${camel-version} must be replaced by the actual version of Camel (2.8 or higher).
