Prerequisites

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

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);

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).
