Configuration
In order to enable this component, the following profile has to be enabled: external-flow
. The below example illustrates how the bootstrap.properties
file should look like:
spring.profiles.active=native,...,external-flow
The file application-external-flow.properties
must be available and should be configured as follows:
Subject | Property | Default | Explanation | Property file | Additional information |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
External Flow Component | blueriq.external-flow.store-type | memory | The data store type, having two possible values: memory and redis. memory is the default one. |
| |
blueriq.external-flow.redis-store.database | 0 | The Database index used by the connection factory. |
| ||
blueriq.external-flow.redis-store.host | localhost | The REQUIRED DNS name or IP address of the Redis server. |
| ||
blueriq.external-flow.redis-store.port | 6379 | The REQUIRED port on which to connect to Redis. |
| ||
blueriq.external-flow.redis-store.ssl.enabled | false | Whether to enable SSL support |
| ||
blueriq.external-flow.redis-store.password | The password used to connect to Redis, can be left empty if no password is required. |
| |||
blueriq.external-flow.redis-store.timeout | 2000 | Timeoud (ms) for connect and read operations |
| ||
blueriq.external-flow.redis-store.client-name | Client name to be set on connections. Can be left empty. |
| |||
Redis connection pool configuration | blueriq.external-flow.redis-store.jedis.pool.maxIdle | 8 | Maximum number of "idle" connections in the pool. Use a negative value to indicate an unlimited number of idle connections. |
| Since 15.10 |
blueriq.external-flow.redis-store.jedis.pool.minIdle | 0 | Target for the minimum number of idle connections to maintain in the pool. This setting only has an effect if it is positive. |
| Since 15.10 | |
blueriq.external-flow.redis-store.jedis.pool.maxActive | 8 | Maximum number of connections that can be allocated by the pool at a given time. Use a negative value for no limit. |
| Since 15.10 | |
blueriq.external-flow.redis-store.jedis.pool.maxWait | -1 | Maximum amount of time a connection allocation should block before throwing an exception when the pool is exhausted. Use a negative value to block indefinitely. |
| Since 15.10 | |
blueriq.external-flow.redis-store.jedis.pool.timeBetweenEvictionRuns | Time between runs of the idle object evictor thread. When positive, the idle object evictor thread starts, otherwise no idle object eviction is performed. Can be left empty. |
| Since 15.10 | ||
blueriq.external-flow.redis-store.pool-test-on-create | false | Whether to test the connection after creation. |
| Since 15.10 | |
blueriq.external-flow.redis-store.pool-test-on-borrow | false | Whether to test the connection before it is borrowed from the pool. |
| Since 15.10 | |
blueriq.external-flow.redis-store.pool-test-on-return | false | Whether to test the connection when it is returned to the pool after use. |
| Since 15.10 | |
blueriq.external-flow.redis-store.jedis.pool.maxIdle | 8 | Maximum number of "idle" connections in the pool. Use a negative value to indicate an unlimited number of idle connections. |
| Removed in 15.10 | |
blueriq.external-flow.redis-store.jedis.pool.minIdle | 0 | Target for the minimum number of idle connections to maintain in the pool. This setting only has an effect if it is positive. |
| Removed in 15.10 | |
blueriq.external-flow.redis-store.jedis.pool.maxActive | 8 | Maximum number of connections that can be allocated by the pool at a given time. Use a negative value for no limit. |
| Removed in 15.10 | |
blueriq.external-flow.redis-store.jedis.pool.maxWait | -1 | Maximum amount of time a connection allocation should block before throwing an exception when the pool is exhausted. Use a negative value to block indefinitely. |
| Removed in 15.10 | |
blueriq.external-flow.redis-store.jedis.pool.timeBetweenEvictionRuns | Time between runs of the idle object evictor thread. When positive, the idle object evictor thread starts, otherwise no idle object eviction is performed. Can be left empty. |

Please note that using a memory store type will make it impossible for you to start an external flow that resides on a different Runtime.
The other
blueriq.external-flow.redis-store*
properties will be ignored in this case.If redis data store is used and the properties for configuring the host and/or the port are missing, the Runtime will not start.

For the classroom environment Frank van der Vaart and I tried to set the store-type on memory. Doing this explicitely gave us an error because a bean externalFlowConfig could not be found. By commenting out that line (line 2 in the example) we did get the default setting working. Anybody any idea how this could happen?

Are you sure the configuration was right? If I try the setting "blueriq.external-flow.store-type=memory" it works in the latest Blueriq version (15.11). If I change it with a type-o (for example a trailing space I get the error you're describing.
