*Available as of Camel version 2.17*


The jcache component enables you to perform caching operations using JSR107/JCache as cache implementation.

== URI Format

[source,java]

jcache:cacheName[?options]

== URI Options

// endpoint options: START
The JCache endpoint is configured using URI syntax:

----
jcache:cacheName
----

with the following path and query parameters:

=== Path Parameters (1 parameters):


[width="100%",cols="2,5,^1,2",options="header"]
|===
| Name | Description | Default | Type
| *cacheName* | *Required* The name of the cache |  | String
|===


=== Query Parameters (22 parameters):


[width="100%",cols="2,5,^1,2",options="header"]
|===
| Name | Description | Default | Type
| *cacheConfiguration* (common) | A Configuration for the Cache |  | Configuration
| *cacheConfigurationProperties* (common) | The Properties for the javax.cache.spi.CachingProvider to create the CacheManager |  | Properties
| *cachingProvider* (common) | The fully qualified class name of the javax.cache.spi.CachingProvider |  | String
| *configurationUri* (common) | An implementation specific URI for the CacheManager |  | String
| *managementEnabled* (common) | Whether management gathering is enabled | false | boolean
| *readThrough* (common) | If read-through caching should be used | false | boolean
| *statisticsEnabled* (common) | Whether statistics gathering is enabled | false | boolean
| *storeByValue* (common) | If cache should use store-by-value or store-by-reference semantics | true | boolean
| *writeThrough* (common) | If write-through caching should be used | false | boolean
| *bridgeErrorHandler* (consumer) | Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions occurred while the consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. By default the consumer will use the org.apache.camel.spi.ExceptionHandler to deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored. | false | boolean
| *filteredEvents* (consumer) | Events a consumer should filter. If using filteredEvents option, then eventFilters one will be ignored |  | List
| *oldValueRequired* (consumer) | if the old value is required for events | false | boolean
| *synchronous* (consumer) | if the event listener should block the thread causing the event | false | boolean
| *eventFilters* (consumer) | The CacheEntryEventFilter. If using eventFilters option, then filteredEvents one will be ignored |  | List
| *exceptionHandler* (consumer) | To let the consumer use a custom ExceptionHandler. Notice if the option bridgeErrorHandler is enabled then this option is not in use. By default the consumer will deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored. |  | ExceptionHandler
| *exchangePattern* (consumer) | Sets the exchange pattern when the consumer creates an exchange. |  | ExchangePattern
| *action* (producer) | To configure using a cache operation by default. If an operation in the message header, then the operation from the header takes precedence. |  | String
| *cacheLoaderFactory* (advanced) | The CacheLoader factory |  | Factory
| *cacheWriterFactory* (advanced) | The CacheWriter factory |  | Factory
| *createCacheIfNotExists* (advanced) | Configure if a cache need to be created if it does exist or can't be pre-configured. | true | boolean
| *expiryPolicyFactory* (advanced) | The ExpiryPolicy factory |  | Factory
| *lookupProviders* (advanced) | Configure if a camel-cache should try to find implementations of jcache api in runtimes like OSGi. | false | boolean

// spring-boot-auto-configure options: START
== Spring Boot Auto-Configuration

When using Spring Boot make sure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for auto configuration:

[source,xml]
----
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-jcache-starter</artifactId>
  <version>x.x.x</version>
  <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>

The component supports 6 options, which are listed below.



[width="100%",cols="2,5,^1,2",options="header"]
|===
| Name | Description | Default | Type
| *camel.component.jcache.cache-configuration* | A Configuration for the Cache. The option is a javax.cache.configuration.Configuration type. |  | String
| *camel.component.jcache.cache-configuration-properties* | The Properties for the javax.cache.spi.CachingProvider to create the CacheManager. The option is a java.util.Properties type. |  | String
| *camel.component.jcache.caching-provider* | The fully qualified class name of the javax.cache.spi.CachingProvider |  | String
| *camel.component.jcache.configuration-uri* | An implementation specific URI for the CacheManager |  | String
| *camel.component.jcache.enabled* | Enable jcache component | true | Boolean
| *camel.component.jcache.resolve-property-placeholders* | Whether the component should resolve property placeholders on itself when starting. Only properties which are of String type can use property placeholders. | true | Boolean
