SWIFT MX

Since Camel 3.20

The SWIFT MX data format is used to encode and decode SWIFT MX messages. The data format leverages the library Prowide ISO 20022 to encode and decode SWIFT MX messages.

Options

The SWIFT MX dataformat supports 4 options, which are listed below.

Name Default Java Type Description

writeConfigRef

String

Refers to a specific configuration to use when marshalling a message to lookup from the registry.

writeInJson

false

Boolean

The flag indicating that messages must be marshalled in a JSON format.

readMessageId

String

The type of MX message to produce when unmarshalling an input stream. If not set, it will be automatically detected from the namespace used.

readConfigRef

String

Refers to a specific configuration to use when unmarshalling an input stream to lookup from the registry.

In Spring DSL, you configure the data format using this tag:

<camelContext>
    <dataFormats>
        <swiftMx id="swiftInJson" writeInJson="true"/>
    </dataFormats>
    ...
</camelContext>

Then you can use it later by its reference:

<route>
     <from uri="direct:startEncode" />
     <marshal ref="swiftInJson" />
     <to uri="mock:result" />
</route>

Most of the time, you won’t need to declare the data format if you use the default options. In that case, you can declare the data format inline as shown below:

<route>
    <from uri="direct:startEncode" />
    <marshal>
        <swiftMx />
    </marshal>
    <to uri="mock:result" />
</route>

Marshal

In this example, we marshal the messages read from a JMS queue in SWIFT format before storing the result into a file.

from("jms://myqueue")
    .marshal().swiftMx()
    .to("file://data.bin");

In Spring DSL:

 <from uri="jms://myqueue">
 <marshal>
     <swiftMx/>
 </marshal>
 <to uri="file://data.bin"/>

Unmarshal

The unmarshaller converts the input data into the concrete class of type com.prowidesoftware.swift.model.mx.AbstractMX that best matches with the content of the message.

In this example, we unmarshal the content of a file to get SWIFT MX objects before processing them with the newOrder processor.

from("file://data.bin")
    .unmarshal().swiftMx()
    .process("newOrder");

In Spring DSL:

 <from uri="file://data.bin">
 <unmarshal>
     <swiftMx/>
 </unmarshal>
 <to uri="bean:newOrder"/>

Dependencies

To use SWIFT MX in your Camel routes you need to add a dependency on camel-swift which implements this data format.

If you use Maven you can just add the following to your pom.xml:

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