...sorry I was sending my last message at the same time of you and I didn't read your reply,
using timer with scheduler is in fact the actual way I do implement that, I would have liked the alternative to use bean as input as it improves readability of the routes (I mostly use the spring xml dsl). Think of it, maybe a beansched: endpoint ;-) Thank you very much!
