# Camel services

You can retrieve information from any endpoint that the [Apache Camel](https://camel.apache.org/) enterprise integration platform supports. The [list of Camel components](https://camel.apache.org/components/latest/) in the Camel documentation provides the full list of supported systems.

Configure Camel components by using a combination of **URI**, **Headers**, **Body**, and **Configuration**settings. The appropriate values to provide for each setting depend on the component being used.

You can make requests dynamic by interpolating attribute values into different parameters. Learn more in [Attribute interpolation](paz_attribute_interpolation.html).

| **URI**           | The identifier for the Camel endpoint. PingAuthorize can interpolate attribute values into this field.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
| **Headers**       | Additional information to send with the Camel service request. PingAuthorize can interpolate attribute values into this field.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
| **Body**          | The body to send with the Camel service request. PingAuthorize can interpolate attribute values into this field.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            |
| **Configuration** | Some Camel components require you to configure helper components for them to work. specify these components by using the [Groovy](https://www.groovy-lang.org/) scripting language to write a Spring Bean configuration block. Learn more about writing configurations In [Class GroovyBeanDefinitionReader](https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/docs/4.3.13.RELEASE/javadoc-api/org/springframework/beans/factory/groovy/GroovyBeanDefinitionReader.html).PingAuthorize cannot interpolate attributes into this field. |

|   | The Camel JDBC component uses the **Headers** and **Body** settings and requires a JDBC data source to be set up in the **Configuration** setting. |

## Value processors

You can define value processors to transform data returned by the Camel service. Learn more in [Processors](paz_value_processing.html).
