ActiveMQ recursive wildcards used in Camel route - apache-camel

Question

Apache ActiveMQ supports wildcards for a source like topics/queues in a Camel route for instance.
The documentation shows that there is the possibility to matche recursively a pattern like this:
PRICE.STOCK.>
Matches
PRICE.STOCK.FR.SOUTH
PRICE.STOCK.FR
PRICE.STOCK.UK.NORTH.MANCHESTER
and so on...
However in my example I have to match something similar but ending with a specific word.
package org.ruffp.camel.quartz;
import org.apache.activemq.camel.component.ActiveMQComponent;
import org.apache.camel.CamelContext;
import org.apache.camel.EndpointInject;
import org.apache.camel.Produce;
import org.apache.camel.ProducerTemplate;
import org.apache.camel.builder.RouteBuilder;
import org.apache.camel.component.mock.MockEndpoint;
import org.apache.camel.test.junit4.CamelTestSupport;
import org.junit.Test;
public class FromWildcardRouteTest extends CamelTestSupport {
#Produce(uri = "activemq:topic:TEST.START.NB.1.Mirrored")
private ProducerTemplate start1;
#Produce(uri = "activemq:topic:TEST_START.Mirrored")
private ProducerTemplate start2;
#EndpointInject(uri = "mock:DEST")
private MockEndpoint end;
#Test
public void testRoute() throws Exception {
resetMocks();
end.expectedMessageCount(2);
start1.sendBody("test-1");
start2.sendBody("test-2");
assertMockEndpointsSatisfied();
}
#Override
protected RouteBuilder createRouteBuilder() throws Exception {
return new RouteBuilder() {
#Override
public void configure() throws Exception {
//#formatter:off
from("activemq:topic:*(.>).Mirrored").routeId("mirrored")
.setProperty("TEST_DESC").body()
.to(end);
//#formatter:on
}
};
}
#Override
protected CamelContext createCamelContext() throws Exception {
CamelContext context = super.createCamelContext();
String amqUrl = "vm://localhost?broker.persistent=false";
log.info("Creating Camel Context for AMQ: '{}'", amqUrl);
context.addComponent("activemq",
ActiveMQComponent.activeMQComponent(amqUrl));
return context;
}
}
The topics I want to catch are either containing zero or many dots . one or many underscores _ and finishing by .Mirrored.
Some examples (all prefixed by activemq:topic:):
- TEST_INBOUND.Mirrored -> catched
- UK.NORTH.TEST_INBOUND.Mirrored -> catched
- FR.SOUTH.TEST_INBOUND.Mirrored -> catched
- CH.TEST_INBOUND.Mirrored -> catched
- TEST_INBOUND -> not catched
- TEST_INBOUND_Mirrored -> not catched

You cannot match by complex pattern such as you try, only as documented that the starting of the queue name can match and then use > or * as wildcards. That's it nothing more is supported.
https://activemq.apache.org/wildcards.html
Note that at the end of the doc, there is a plugin that can be used in your case like this:
<plugins>
.....
<destinationPathSeparatorPlugin pathSeparator="_" />
</plugins>
and in that case the wildcards would work with underscore as well.
