:page-source: components/camel-ehcache/src/main/docs/ehcache-component.adoc

*Available as of Camel version 2.18*


The *ehcache* component enables you to perform caching operations using
Ehcache 3 as the Cache Implementation.

This component supports producer and event based consumer endpoints.

The Cache consumer is an event based consumer and can be used to listen
and respond to specific cache activities. 

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to
their `pom.xml` for this component:

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

== URI format

[source,java]
-----------------------------
ehcache://cacheName[?options]
-----------------------------

You can append query options to the URI in the following
format, `?option=value&option=#beanRef&...`

== Options


// component options: START
The Ehcache component supports 7 options, which are listed below.



[width="100%",cols="2,5,^1,2",options="header"]
|===
| Name | Description | Default | Type
| *configuration* (advanced) | Sets the global component configuration |  | EhcacheConfiguration
| *cacheManager* (common) | The cache manager |  | CacheManager
| *cacheManager Configuration* (common) | The cache manager configuration |  | Configuration
| *cacheConfiguration* (common) | The default cache configuration to be used to create caches. |  | CacheConfiguration
| *cachesConfigurations* (common) | A map of caches configurations to be used to create caches. |  | Map
| *cacheConfigurationUri* (common) | URI pointing to the Ehcache XML configuration file's location |  | String
| *resolveProperty Placeholders* (advanced) | Whether the component should resolve property placeholders on itself when starting. Only properties which are of String type can use property placeholders. | true | boolean

// component options: END



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

----
ehcache: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 cache name |  | String
|===


=== Query Parameters (17 parameters):


[width="100%",cols="2,5,^1,2",options="header"]
|===
| Name | Description | Default | Type
| *cacheManager* (common) | The cache manager |  | CacheManager
| *cacheManagerConfiguration* (common) | The cache manager configuration |  | Configuration
| *configurationUri* (common) | URI pointing to the Ehcache XML configuration file's location |  | String
| *createCacheIfNotExist* (common) | Configure if a cache need to be created if it does exist or can't be pre-configured. | true | 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
| *eventFiring* (consumer) | Set the delivery mode (synchronous, asynchronous) | ASYNCHRONOUS | EventFiring
| *eventOrdering* (consumer) | Set the delivery mode (ordered, unordered) | ORDERED | EventOrdering
| *eventTypes* (consumer) | Set the type of events to listen for | EVICTED,EXPIRED,REMOVED,CREATED,UPDATED | Set
| *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 the default cache action. If an action is set in the message header, then the operation from the header takes precedence. |  | String
| *key* (producer) | To configure the default action key. If a key is set in the message header, then the key from the header takes precedence. |  | Object
| *configuration* (advanced) | The default cache configuration to be used to create caches. |  | CacheConfiguration
| *configurations* (advanced) | A map of cache configuration to be used to create caches. |  | Map
| *keyType* (advanced) | The cache key type, default java.lang.Object | java.lang.Object | String
| *synchronous* (advanced) | Sets whether synchronous processing should be strictly used, or Camel is allowed to use asynchronous processing (if supported). | false | boolean
| *valueType* (advanced) | The cache value type, default java.lang.Object | java.lang.Object | String

== Spring Boot Auto-Configuration

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

[source,xml]

  <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-ehcache-starter</artifactId>
  <version>x.x.x</version>
