UuidGenerator
Starting with Camel 2.5, Camel supports 3rd party UUID generator(s). This is useful, if e.g. your messaging provider does not support UUID’s with a length of 36 characters (like Websphere MQ). Another useful scenario is to use a simple counter for testing purpose. With this it is easier to correlate the exchanges in the log/debugger.
Camel uses UUIDs in the exchange and message ids, and other unique ids it uses.
You only have to implement org.apache.camel.spi.UuidGenerator
and tell
Camel, that it should use your custom implementation:
Configuring from Java DSL
getContext().setUuidGenerator(new MyCustomUuidGenerator());
Warning: You should not change the UUID generator at runtime (it should only be set once)!
Configuring from XML DSL
Camel will configure this UUID generator by doing a lookup in the Spring
bean registry to find the bean of the type
org.apache.camel.spi.UuidGenerator
.
<bean id="simpleUuid" class="org.apache.camel.support.SimpleUuidGenerator" />
<camelContext id="camel" xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring">
<route>
<from uri="direct:start" />
<to uri="mock:result" />
</route>
</camelContext>
Provided implementations
Camel comes with two implementations of
org.apache.camel.spi.UuidGenerator
:
-
org.apache.camel.support.SimpleUuidGenerator
- This implementation use internally ajava.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicLong
and increase the ID for every call by one. Starting with 1 as the first id. -
org.apache.camel.impl.engine.DefaultUuidGenerator
- This implementation use a fast unique UUID generation that is cluster safe (similar to uuid generator in ActiveMQ)
