Caffeine LoadCache

Since Camel 2.20

Only producer is supported

The Caffeine Loadcache component enables you to perform caching operations using the LoadingCache from Caffeine.

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

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-caffeine</artifactId>
    <version>x.x.x</version>
    <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>

URI format

caffeine-loadcache://cacheName[?options]

You can append query options to the URI in the following format, ?option=value&option=#beanRef&…​

Options

The Caffeine LoadCache component supports 18 options, which are listed below.

Name Description Default Type

action (producer)

To configure the default cache action. If an action is set in the message header, then the operation from the header takes precedence.

String

cache (producer)

To configure an already instantiated cache to be used

Cache

cacheLoader (producer)

To configure a CacheLoader in case of a LoadCache use

CacheLoader

createCacheIfNotExist (producer)

Configure if a cache need to be created if it does exist or can’t be pre-configured.

true

boolean

evictionType (producer)

Set the eviction Type for this cache. The value can be one of: size_based, time_based

SIZE_BASED

EvictionType

expireAfterAccessTime (producer)

Set the expire After Access Time in case of time based Eviction (in seconds)

300

int

expireAfterWriteTime (producer)

Set the expire After Access Write in case of time based Eviction (in seconds)

300

int

initialCapacity (producer)

Set the initial Capacity for the cache

10000

int

key (producer)

To configure the default action key. If a key is set in the message header, then the key from the header takes precedence.

Object

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

maximumSize (producer)

Set the maximum size for the cache

10000

int

removalListener (producer)

Set a specific removal Listener for the cache

RemovalListener

statsCounter (producer)

Set a specific Stats Counter for the cache stats

StatsCounter

statsEnabled (producer)

To enable stats on the cache

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

configuration (advanced)

Sets the global component configuration

CaffeineConfiguration

keyType (advanced)

The cache key type, default java.lang.Object

String

valueType (advanced)

The cache value type, default java.lang.Object

Spring Boot Auto-Configuration

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