Bindy

Available as of Camel 2.0

The idea that the developers have followed to design this component was to allow the binding of non structured data (or to be more precise non-XML data) to Java Bean using annotations. It is possible to bind data like :

  • CSV record,
  • Fixedlength record,
  • or any other non-structured data

Remark : This first release only support binding of CSV record

Bindy is a Data Format which uses ...

Using the Java DSL

For example the following uses a named DataFormat of bindy which is configured with a number of Java package names to initialize the model objects.

DataFormat bindy = new CsvBindyDataFormat("com.acme.model");

from("file://inbox").
  unmarshal(bindy).
  to("bean:handleOrder");

You can if you prefer use a named reference to a data format which can then be defined in your Registry such as via your Spring XML file. e.g. 

from("file://inbox").
  unmarshal("myBindyDataFormat").
  to("bean:handleOrder");

Using Spring XML

Dependencies

To use Bindy in your camel routes you need to add the a dependency on camel-bindy which implements this data format.

If you use maven you could just add the following to your pom.xml, substituting the version number for the latest & greatest release (see the download page for the latest versions).

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-bindy</artifactId>
