Hi all,
I have been working with Camel at a client site as a really complex file
copier, backup and transfer tool.
Because of the nature of moving paths (and shifting systems from dev to UAT
and UAT to production) we have found using XML is good for it's flexibile
change capabilities.
However, I have as usual the XML has pain, that the XML's config becomes
cumbersome (we have all been there).
the Java DSL is nice due to in place editor completion, but it is also nice
because there is no < > =" and & going on.
I was wondering, has anyone thought of (or is there) a dynamic form of the
Java DSL .. like .. jsp's or the old jws files in Axis, which are compiled
on demand.
ie, (and thinking inside AMQ) on boot
<camelContext id="camel"...>
<routeBuilder resource="path/to/myrouteBuilder.crb"/>
</camelContext>
And crb is just a java source file which will get compiled and then loaded
... ?thoughts
What this means is the crb (camel route builder) can be "seen" by
application support staff, and paths modified and server restarted for
changes etc ..
of course .. goes without saying that I am sure groovy could be plugged in
some how in the same manner (no ? )
thoughts .. am I astronaut thinking ?
