The

language

component

allows

you

to

send

Exchange

to

an

endpoint

which

executes

a

script

...

by

any

...

of

the

supported

Languages

in

Camel.

By

capabilities.

For

by

using

the

Routing

EIPs

...

you

can

h3. URI Options
The component supports the following options. 
{div:class=confluenceTableSmall}
|| Name || Default Value || Type || Description ||
| {{languageName}} | {{null}} | {{String}} | The name of the [Language|Languages] to use, such as {{simple}}, {{groovy}}, {{javascript}} etc. This option is mandatory. |
| {{script}} | {{null}} | {{String}} | The script to execute. |
| {{transform}} | {{true}} | {{boolean}} | Whether or not the result of the script should be used as the new message body. By setting to {{false}} the script is executed but the result of the script is discarded. |
| {{contentCache}} | {{true}} | {{boolean}} | *Camel 2.9:* Whether to cache the script if loaded from a resource.
Note: from *Camel 2.10.3* a cached script can be forced to reload at runtime via JMX using the clearContentCache operation. |
{div}

h3. Message Headers
The following message headers can be used to affect the behavior of the component

{div:class=confluenceTableSmall}
|| Header || Description ||
| {{CamelLanguageScript}} | The script to execute provided in the header. Takes precedence over script configured on the endpoint. | 
{div}

h3. Examples

For example you can use the [Simple] language to [Message Translator] a message:

URI Options

The component supports the following options.

Div
classconfluenceTableSmall

Name

Default Value

Type

Description

languageName

null

String

The name of the Language to use, such as simple, groovy, javascript etc. This option is mandatory.

script

null

String

The script to execute.

transform

true

boolean

Whether or not the result of the script should be used as the new message body. By setting to false the script is executed but the result of the script is discarded.

contentCache

true

boolean

Camel 2.9: Whether to cache the script if loaded from a resource.
Note: from Camel 2.10.3 a cached script can be forced to reload at runtime via JMX using the clearContentCache operation.

cacheScript

false

boolean

Camel 2.13/2.12.2/2.11.3: Whether to cache the compiled script. Turning this option on can gain performance as the script is only compiled/created once, and reuse when processing Camel messages. But this may cause side-effects with data left from previous evaluation spills into the next, and concurrency issues as well. If the script being evaluated is idempotent then this option can be turned on.

binary

false

boolean

Camel 2.14.1: Whether the script is binary content. This is intended to be used for loading resources using the Constant language, such as loading binary files.

Message Headers

The following message headers can be used to affect the behavior of the component

Div
classconfluenceTableSmall

Header

Description

CamelLanguageScript

The script to execute provided in the header. Takes precedence over script configured on the endpoint.

Examples

For example you can use the Simple language to Message Translator a message:

can

also

provide

the

as

The

must

following

...

schemes:

the

classpath:

...

Wiki Markup
{snippet:id=e1|lang=java|url=camel/trunk/camel-core/src/test/java/org/apache/camel/component/language/LanguageLoadScriptFromClasspathTest.java}

...

By

...

default

...

the

...

script

...

is

...

loaded

...

once

and

...

cached.

...

However

...

you

...

can

disable

...

the

...

contentCache

...

option

...

and

...

have

...

the

...

script

...

loaded

...

on

...

each

...

evaluation.

...


For

...

example

...

if

...

the

...

file

...

myscript.txt

...

is

...

changed

...

on

...

disk,

...

then

...

the

...

updated

...

script

...

is

...

used:
