How do I specify time period in a human friendly syntax Page added by Claus Ibsen How do I specify time period in a human friendly syntax Available as of Camel 2.3 Some of the Camel Components offers options to specify a time period, which must be entered in milli second as unit. This may be unfriendly to read as a human when the value is large such as 45min = 2700000 millis. So in Camel 2.3 you can now configure any endpoint uri parameter using a String syntax, which at runtime will get converted to millis (long type). You can use the following short syntax, which is most common to use: Syntax Unit h hour m minute s second So for example the Timer endpoint can be configured as follows from("timer:foo?period=45m").to("log:foo"); You can mix and match the units so you can do this as well: from("timer:foo?period=1h15m").to("log:foo"); from("timer:bar?period=2h30s").to("log:bar"); from("timer:bar?period=3h45m58s").to("log:bar"); However you can also use long syntax Syntax Unit hour or hours hour minute or minutes minute second or seconds second from("timer:foo?period=45minutes").to("log:foo"); Change Notification Preferences View Online | Add Comment
