IEC 60870 Client :: Apache Camel

Name	Description	Default	Type
defaultConnectionOptions (common)	Default connection options		ClientOptions
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

URI format

The URI syntax of the endpoint is:

iec60870-client:host:port/00-01-02-03-04

The information object address is encoded in the path in the syntax shows above. Please note that always the full, 5 octet address format is being used. Unused octets have to be filled with zero.

URI options

The IEC 60870 Client endpoint is configured using URI syntax:

iec60870-client:uriPath

connectionId (id)

An identifier grouping connection instances

String

A connection instance if identified by the host and port part of the URI, plus all parameters in the "id" group. If a new connection id is encountered the connection options will be evaluated and the connection instance is created with those options.

If two URIs specify the same connection (host, port, …) but different connection options, then it is undefined which of those connection options will be used.

The final connection options will be evaluated in the following order:

If present, the connectionOptions parameter will be used
Otherwise the defaultConnectionOptions instance is copied and customized in the following steps
Apply protocolOptions if present
Apply dataModuleOptions if present
Apply all explicit connection parameters (e.g. timeZone)
