-1. Why?

Camel got extremely complicated already with a lot of useless features and options. The way it is now is consistent with the Camel principles:
* use what's in the header
* if not, use the endpoint configuration provided via uri
* if that is not present used hardcoded configuration values.

It is important to know, that's for sure. Reason why users should test their stylesheets before putting them in production. In addition to that, the fact that a style compiles doesn't mean that it will behave as expected when processing a message. Thats guaranteed (as much as possible) by knowing your messages and doing thorough testing before going in production, not by loading the stylesheet at endpoint creation.

Failing fast is a good principle, we should always try for that, but this is not what this proposal is achieving.

Hi

looking at the build of this morning [1] the test failure issue is now
fixed, however like Willem I think the pre-existing fail-fast behaviour
should be brought back as it used to be there. This however would require
another JIRA-Ticket than [2] having the corresponding description / goal.

+1

However I think we could consider adding a new option to
ResourceEndpoint to support to control if the resource should
be loaded on startup or lazy loaded upon first request. The former has
fail fast, and the latter would defer loading the resource once its
demanded, but with the penalty of compiling/parsing the template
overhead.

Then the option could be default as the old behavior of loading the
resource on startup.
Wonder what a good name for such an option would be?
- lazyLoadResource
- loadResourceOnStartup
??

The mina component have a laztCreateSession option, so the lazy name
could be a good name

Fail fast is IMHO especially needed to allow people to know something
is wrong. We have seen many issues with loading resources in classpath
on various servers of all sorts, and the likes of Java WebStart,
JBoss, OSGi etc.

Also if there is a issue compiling/parsing the stylesheet you get this
error up front, which can be very important to know.
