Usage

Message headers evaluated by the SWF Workflow Producer

A workflow producer allows interacting with a workflow. It can start a new workflow execution, query its state, send signals to a running workflow, or terminate and cancel it.

Header	Type	Description
`CamelSWFOperation`	`String`	The operation to perform on the workflow. Supported operations are: SIGNAL, CANCEL, TERMINATE, GET_STATE, START, DESCRIBE, GET_HISTORY.
`CamelSWFWorkflowId`	`String`	A workflow ID to use.
`CamelAwsDdbKeyCamelSWFRunId`	`String`	A worfklow run ID to use.
`CamelSWFStateResultType`	`String`	The type of the result when a workflow state is queried.
`CamelSWFEventName`	`String`	The workflow or activity event name to use.
`CamelSWFVersion`	`String`	The workflow or activity event version to use.
`CamelSWFReason`	`String`	The reason for terminating a workflow.
`CamelSWFDetails`	`String`	Details for terminating a workflow.
`CamelSWFChildPolicy`	`String`	The policy to use on child workflows when terminating a workflow.

Message headers set by the SWF Workflow Producer

Header	Type	Description
`CamelSWFWorkflowId`	`String`	The worfklow ID used or newly generated.
`CamelAwsDdbKeyCamelSWFRunId`	`String`	The worfklow run ID used or generated.

Message headers set by the SWF Workflow Consumer

A workflow consumer represents the workflow logic. When it is started, it will start polling workflow decision tasks and process them. In addition to processing decision tasks, a workflow consumer route, will also receive signals (send from a workflow producer) or state queries. The primary purpose of a workflow consumer is to schedule activity tasks for execution using activity producers. Actually activity tasks can be scheduled only from a thread started by a workflow consumer.

Header	Type	Description
`CamelSWFAction`	`String`	Indicates what type is the current event: CamelSWFActionExecute, CamelSWFSignalReceivedAction or CamelSWFGetStateAction.
`CamelSWFWorkflowReplaying`	`boolean`	Indicates whether the current decision task is a replay or not.
`CamelSWFWorkflowStartTime`	`long`	The time of the start event for this decision task.

Message headers set by the SWF Activity Producer

An activity producer allows scheduling activity tasks. An activity producer can be used only from a thread started by a workflow consumer ie, it can process synchronous exchanges started by a workflow consumer.

Header	Type	Description
`CamelSWFEventName`	`String`	The activity name to schedule.
`CamelSWFVersion`	`String`	The activity version to schedule.

Message headers set by the SWF Activity Consumer

Header	Type	Description
`CamelSWFTaskToken`	`String`	The task token that is required to report task completion for manually completed tasks.

Advanced amazonSWClient configuration

If you need more control over the AmazonSimpleWorkflowClient instance configuration you can create your own instance and refer to it from the URI:

The #client refers to a AmazonSimpleWorkflowClient 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);

AmazonSimpleWorkflowClient client = new AmazonSimpleWorkflowClient(awsCredentials, clientConfiguration);

registry.bind("client", client);

Dependencies

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their 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 (2.13 or higher).
