I often modify a route like this...
from(...)
to("log:Foo").
to(...);
to add an extra
from(...)
to("log:Foo").
to(...);
route to add more logging. Or turn debug logging high. Or sometimes
when things are wacky I add a custom processor...
from(...)
process(new Processor() {
public void process(Exchange) {
// set a break point here!
}
).
to(...);
So I can easily set a breakpoint and look at the exchange / message /
headers / body etc.
We need to make this a bit simpler though!
FWIW I've an experimental debugger framework...
http://activemq.apache.org/camel/debugger.html
which can be enabled which then adds an interceptor which can record
the exchanges passed into each step of a route and can trace them etc.
Its kinda early days and could use some love; but its a kinda start
along the road to having a better framework for diagnosing things
going wrong mid-route etc.
