== Azure Storage Queue Service Component

*Available as of Camel version 2.19*

The Azure Queue component supports storing and retrieving the messages to/from
https://azure.microsoft.com/services/storage/queues/[Azure Storage Queue] service.

Prerequisites

You must have a valid Windows Azure Storage account. More information is available at
https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/[Azure Documentation Portal].

### URI Format

[source,java]
------------------------------
azure-queue://accountName/queueName[?options]
------------------------------

The queue will be created if it does not already exist. +
 You can append query options to the URI in the following format,
?options=value&option2=value&...

For example in order to get a message content from the queue `messageQueue` 
in the `camelazure` storage account and, use the following snippet:

[source,java]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
from("azure-queue:/camelazure/messageQueue").
to("file://queuedirectory");
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

### URI Options


// component options: START
The Azure Storage Queue Service component has no options.
// component options: END











// endpoint options: START
The Azure Storage Queue Service endpoint is configured using URI syntax:

----
azure-queue:containerAndQueueUri
----

with the following path and query parameters:

==== Path Parameters (1 parameters):

Required Azure Storage Queue Service component options

You have to provide the containerAndQueue URI  and the credentials.

### Usage

#### Message headers evaluated by the Azure Storage Queue Service producer

[width="100%",cols="10%,10%,80%",options="header",]
|=======================================================================
|Header |Type |Description

#### Message headers set by the Azure Storage Queue Service producer

[width="100%",cols="10%,10%,80%",options="header",]
|=======================================================================
|Header |Type |Description

#### Azure Queue Client configuration

If your Camel Application is running behind a firewall or if you need to
have more control over the Azure Queue Client configuration, you can
create your own instance:

[source,java]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
StorageCredentials credentials = new StorageCredentialsAccountAndKey("camelazure", "thekey");

CloudQueue client = new CloudQueue("camelazure", credentials);

registry.bind("azureQueueClient", client);
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and refer to it in your Camel azure-queue component configuration:

[source,java]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
from("azure-queue:/camelazure/messageQueue?azureQueueClient=#client")
.to("mock:result");
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

### Dependencies

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml.

*pom.xml*

[source,xml]
---------------------------------------
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-azure</artifactId>
    <version>${camel-version}</version>
</dependency>
---------------------------------------

where `${camel-version`} must be replaced by the actual version of Camel
(2.19.0 or higher).
