Box

Since Camel 2.14

Both producer and consumer are supported

The Box component provides access to all of the Box.com APIs accessible using https://github.com/box/box-java-sdk. It allows producing messages to upload and download files, create, edit, and manage folders, etc. It also supports APIs that allow polling for updates to user accounts and even changes to enterprise accounts, etc.

Box.com requires the use of OAuth2.0 for all client application authentication. In order to use camel-box with your account, you’ll need to create a new application within Box.com at https://developer.box.com. The Box application’s client id and secret will allow access to Box APIs which require a current user. A user access token is generated and managed by the API for an end user.

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml for this component:

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

Connection Authentication Types

The Box component supports three different types of authenticated connections.

Standard Authentication

Standard Authentication uses the OAuth 2.0 three-legged authentication process to authenticate its connections with Box.com. This type of authentication enables Box managed users and external users to access, edit, and save their Box content through the Box component.

App Enterprise Authentication

App Enterprise Authentication uses the OAuth 2.0 with JSON Web Tokens (JWT) to authenticate its connections as a Service Account for a Box Application. This type of authentication enables a service account to access, edit, and save the Box content of its Box Application through the Box component.

App User Authentication

App User Authentication uses the OAuth 2.0 with JSON Web Tokens (JWT) to authenticate its connections as an App User for a Box Application. This type of authentication enables app users to access, edit, and save their Box content in its Box Application through the Box component.

Box Options

The Box component supports 19 options, which are listed below.

Name	Description	Default	Type
clientId (common)	Box application client ID		String
configuration (common)	To use the shared configuration		BoxConfiguration
enterpriseId (common)	The enterprise ID to use for an App Enterprise.		String
userId (common)	The user ID to use for an App User.		String
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
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
basicPropertyBinding (advanced)	Whether the component should use basic property binding (Camel 2.x) or the newer property binding with additional capabilities	false	boolean
httpParams (advanced)	Custom HTTP params for settings like proxy host		Map
authenticationType (authentication)	The type of authentication for connection. Types of Authentication: STANDARD_AUTHENTICATION - OAuth 2.0 (3-legged) SERVER_AUTHENTICATION - OAuth 2.0 with JSON Web Tokens	APP_USER_AUTHENTICATION	String
accessTokenCache (security)	Custom Access Token Cache for storing and retrieving access tokens.		IAccessTokenCache
clientSecret (security)	Box application client secret		String
encryptionAlgorithm (security)	The type of encryption algorithm for JWT. Supported Algorithms: RSA_SHA_256 RSA_SHA_384 RSA_SHA_512. The value can be one of: RSA_SHA_256, RSA_SHA_384, RSA_SHA_512	RSA_SHA_256	EncryptionAlgorithm
maxCacheEntries (security)	The maximum number of access tokens in cache.	100	int
privateKeyFile (security)	The private key for generating the JWT signature.		String

Producer Endpoints:

Producer endpoints can use endpoint prefixes followed by endpoint names and associated options described next. A shorthand alias can be used for some endpoints. The endpoint URI MUST contain a prefix.

Endpoint options that are not mandatory are denoted by []. When there are no mandatory options for an endpoint, one of the set of [] options MUST be provided. Producer endpoints can also use a special option inBody that in turn should contain the name of the endpoint option whose value will be contained in the Camel Exchange In message.

Any of the endpoint options can be provided in either the endpoint URI, or dynamically in a message header. The message header name must be of the format CamelBox.<option>. Note that the inBody option overrides message header, i.e. the endpoint option inBody=option would override a CamelBox.option header.

If a value is not provided for the option defaultRequest either in the endpoint URI or in a message header, it will be assumed to be null. Note that the null value will only be used if other options do not satisfy matching endpoints.

In case of Box API errors the endpoint will throw a RuntimeCamelException with a com.box.sdk.BoxAPIException derived exception cause.

Message header

Any of the options can be provided in a message header for producer endpoints with CamelBox. prefix.

Message body

All result message bodies utilize objects provided by the Box Java SDK. Producer endpoints can specify the option name for incoming message body in the inBody endpoint parameter.

Samples

The following route uploads new files to the user’s root folder:

from("file:...")
    .to("box://files/upload/inBody=fileUploadRequest");

The following route polls user’s account for updates:

from("box://events/listen?startingPosition=-1")
    .to("bean:blah");

The following route uses a producer with dynamic header options. The fileId property has the Box file id and the output property has the output stream of the file contents, so they are assigned to the CamelBox.fileId header and CamelBox.output header respectively as follows:

from("direct:foo")
    .setHeader("CamelBox.fileId", header("fileId"))
    .setHeader("CamelBox.output", header("output"))
    .to("box://files/download")
    .to("file://...");

Spring Boot Auto-Configuration

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

The component supports 20 options, which are listed below.

Name	Description	Default	Type
camel.component.box.access-token-cache	Custom Access Token Cache for storing and retrieving access tokens. The option is a com.box.sdk.IAccessTokenCache type.		String
camel.component.box.authentication-type	The type of authentication for connection. Types of Authentication: STANDARD_AUTHENTICATION - OAuth 2.0 (3-legged) SERVER_AUTHENTICATION - OAuth 2.0 with JSON Web Tokens	APP_USER_AUTHENTICATION	String
camel.component.box.basic-property-binding	Whether the component should use basic property binding (Camel 2.x) or the newer property binding with additional capabilities	false	Boolean
camel.component.box.bridge-error-handler	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
camel.component.box.client-id	Box application client ID		String
camel.component.box.client-secret	Box application client secret		String
camel.component.box.configuration	To use the shared configuration. The option is a org.apache.camel.component.box.BoxConfiguration type.		String
camel.component.box.enabled	Whether to enable auto configuration of the box component. This is enabled by default.		Boolean
camel.component.box.encryption-algorithm	The type of encryption algorithm for JWT. Supported Algorithms: RSA_SHA_256 RSA_SHA_384 RSA_SHA_512		EncryptionAlgorithm
camel.component.box.enterprise-id	The enterprise ID to use for an App Enterprise.		String
camel.component.box.http-params	Custom HTTP params for settings like proxy host		Map
camel.component.box.lazy-start-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
camel.component.box.max-cache-entries	The maximum number of access tokens in cache.	100	Integer
camel.component.box.private-key-file	The private key for generating the JWT signature.		String
camel.component.box.private-key-password	The password for the private key.		String
camel.component.box.public-key-id	The ID for public key for validating the JWT signature.		String
camel.component.box.ssl-context-parameters	To configure security using SSLContextParameters. The option is a org.apache.camel.support.jsse.SSLContextParameters type.		String
camel.component.box.user-id	The user ID to use for an App User.		String
camel.component.box.user-name	Box user name, MUST be provided		String
camel.component.box.user-password	Box user password, MUST be provided if authSecureStorage is not set, or returns null on first call		String
