Endpoint Properties

Name Type Required Default Description
hostname string Hostname for the IRC chat server
port integer Port number for the IRC chat server. If no port is configured then a default port of either 6667, 6668 or 6669 is used.
autoRejoin boolean true Whether to auto re-join when being kicked
channels string Comma separated list of IRC channels.
commandTimeout integer 5000 Delay in milliseconds before sending commands after the connection is established.
keys string Comma separated list of keys for channels.
namesOnJoin boolean false Sends NAMES command to channel after joining it. onReply has to be true in order to process the result which will have the header value irc.num = '353'.
nickname string The nickname used in chat.
persistent boolean true Use persistent messages.
realname string The IRC user's actual name.
bridgeErrorHandler boolean false Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions (if possible) occurred while the Camel consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. Important: This is only possible if the 3rd party component allows Camel to be alerted if an exception was thrown. Some components handle this internally only, and therefore bridgeErrorHandler is not possible. In other situations we may improve the Camel component to hook into the 3rd party component and make this possible for future releases. 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.
exceptionHandler object 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.
exchangePattern object Sets the exchange pattern when the consumer creates an exchange.
lazyStartProducer boolean false Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel's routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.
colors boolean true Whether or not the server supports color codes.
onJoin boolean true Handle user join events.
onKick boolean true Handle kick events.
onMode boolean true Handle mode change events.
onNick boolean true Handle nickname change events.
onPart boolean true Handle user part events.
onPrivmsg boolean true Handle private message events.
onQuit boolean true Handle user quit events.
onReply boolean false Whether or not to handle general responses to commands or informational messages.
onTopic boolean true Handle topic change events.
nickPassword string Your IRC server nickname password.
password string The IRC server password.
sslContextParameters object Used for configuring security using SSL. Reference to a org.apache.camel.support.jsse.SSLContextParameters in the Registry. This reference overrides any configured SSLContextParameters at the component level. Note that this setting overrides the trustManager option.
trustManager object The trust manager used to verify the SSL server's certificate.
username string The IRC server user name.
