JPA Component
The jpa component enables you to store and retrieve Java objects from persistent storage using EJB 3's Java Persistence Architecture (JPA), which is a standard interface layer that wraps Object/Relational Mapping (ORM) products such as OpenJPA, Hibernate, TopLink, and so on.
Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml for this component:
<dependency>

<groupId> org.apache.camel</groupId>
<artifactId> camel-jpa</artifactId>
<version> x.x.x</version>
<!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>

Sending to the endpoint
You can store a Java entity bean in a database by sending it to a JPA producer endpoint. The body of the In message is assumed to be an entity bean (that is, a POJO with an @Entity annotation on it) or a collection or array of entity beans.
If the body does not contain one of the previous listed types, put a Message Translator in front of the endpoint to perform the necessary conversion first.
Consuming from the endpoint
Consuming messages from a JPA consumer endpoint removes (or updates) entity beans in the database. This allows you to use a database table as a logical queue: consumers take messages from the queue and then delete/update them to logically remove them from the queue.
If you do not wish to delete the entity bean when it has been processed, you can specify consumeDelete=false on the URI. This will result in the entity being processed each poll.
If you would rather perform some update on the entity to mark it as processed (such as to exclude it from a future query) then you can annotate a method with @Consumed which will be invoked on your entity bean when the entity bean is consumed.
URI format
jpa:[entityClassName][?options]

For sending to the endpoint, the entityClassName is optional. If specified, it helps the Type Converter to ensure the body is of the correct type.
For consuming, the entityClassName is mandatory.
You can append query options to the URI in the following format, ?option=value&option=value&...
Options
Name
Default Value
Description
entityType
entityClassName
Overrides the entityClassName from the URI.
persistenceUnit
camel
The JPA persistence unit used by default.
consumeDelete
true
JPA consumer only: If true , the entity is deleted after it is consumed; if false , the entity is not deleted.
consumeLockEntity
true
JPA consumer only: Specifies whether or not to set an exclusive lock on each entity bean while processing the results from polling.
flushOnSend
true
JPA producer only: Flushes the EntityManager after the entity bean has been persisted.
maximumResults
-1
JPA consumer only: Set the maximum number of results to retrieve on the Query .
transactionManager
null
Camel 1.6.1/2.0: Specifies the transaction manager to use. If none provided, Camel will use a JpaTransactionManager by default. Can be used to set a JTA transaction manager (for integration with an EJB container).
consumer.delay
500
JPA consumer only: Delay in milliseconds between each poll.
consumer.initialDelay
1000
JPA consumer only: Milliseconds before polling starts.
consumer.useFixedDelay
false
JPA consumer only: Set to true to use fixed delay between polls, otherwise fixed rate is used. See ScheduledExecutorService in JDK for details.
maxMessagesPerPoll
0
Camel 2.0: JPA consumer only: An integer value to define the maximum number of messages to gather per poll. By default, no maximum is set. Can be used to avoid polling many thousands of messages when starting up the server. Set a value of 0 or negative to disable.
consumer.query
 
JPA consumer only: To use a custom query when consuming data.
consumer.namedQuery
 
JPA consumer only: To use a named query when consuming data.
consumer.nativeQuery
 
JPA consumer only: To use a custom native query when consuming data.
usePersist
false
Camel 2.5: JPA producer only: Indicates to use entityManager.persist(entity) instead of entityManager.merge(entity) . Note: entityManager.persist(entity) doesn't work for detached entities (where the EntityManager has to execute an UPDATE instead of an INSERT query)!
Message Headers
Camel adds the following message headers to the exchange:
Header
Type
Description
CamelJpaTemplate
JpaTemplate
Camel 2.0: The JpaTemplate object that is used to access the entity bean. You need this object in some situations, for instance in a type converter or when you are doing some custom processing.
Configuring EntityManagerFactory
Its strongly advised to configure the JPA component to use a specific EntityManagerFactory instance. If failed to do so each JpaEndpoint will auto create their own instance of EntityManagerFactory which most often is not what you want.
For example, you can instantiate a JPA component that references the myEMFactory entity manager factory, as follows:
<bean id="jpa"
 class="org.apache.camel.component.jpa.JpaComponent"
>

<property name="entityManagerFactory" ref="myEMFactory" />
</bean>

In Camel 2.3 the JpaComponent will auto lookup the EntityManagerFactory from the Registry which means you do not need to configure this on the JpaComponent as shown above. You only need to do so if there is ambiguity, in which case Camel will log a WARN.
Configuring TransactionManager
Its strongly advised to configure the TransactionManager instance used by the JPA component. If failed to do so each JpaEndpoint will auto create their own instance of TransactionManager which most often is not what you want.
For example, you can instantiate a JPA component that references the myTransactionManager transaction manager, as follows:
<bean id="jpa"
 class="org.apache.camel.component.jpa.JpaComponent"
>

<property name="entityManagerFactory" ref="myEMFactory" />
<property name="transactionManager" ref="myTransactionManager" />
</bean>

In Camel 2.3 the JpaComponent will auto lookup the TransactionManager from the Registry which means you do not need to configure this on the JpaComponent as shown above. You only need to do so if there is ambiguity, in which case Camel will log a WARN.
Using a consumer with a named query
For consuming only selected entities, you can use the consumer.namedQuery URI query option. First, you have to define the named query in the JPA Entity class:
@Entity
@NamedQuery(name = "step1" , query = "select x from MultiSteps x where x.step = 1" )
public class MultiSteps {
...
}

After that you can define a consumer uri like this one:
from("jpa://org.apache.camel.examples.MultiSteps?consumer.namedQuery=step1"
)
.to("bean:myBusinessLogic" );

Using a consumer with a query
For consuming only selected entities, you can use the consumer.query URI query option. You only have to define the query option:
from("jpa://org.apache.camel.examples.MultiSteps?consumer.query=select o from org.apache.camel.examples.MultiSteps o where o.step = 1"
)
.to("bean:myBusinessLogic" );

Using a consumer with a native query
For consuming only selected entities, you can use the consumer.nativeQuery URI query option. You only have to define the native query option:
from("jpa://org.apache.camel.examples.MultiSteps?consumer.nativeQuery=select * from MultiSteps where step = 1"
)
.to("bean:myBusinessLogic" );

If you use the native query option, you will receive an object array in the message body.
