Work on CAMEL-25378 started by Christoph Deppisch.
--------------------------------------------------
> Add camel-test-citrus component for Citrus message validation in Camel route
> tests
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CAMEL-25378
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-25378
> Project: Camel
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: camel-test
> Reporter: Christoph Deppisch
> Assignee: Christoph Deppisch
> Priority: Major
>
> Add a new camel-test-citrus test component that integrates with the Citrus
> integration test framework (https://citrusframework.org/) to perform message
> validation on exchanges arriving at a Camel endpoint.
> *Endpoint URI:* {{citrus:validate}} (where {{validate}} is the initial
> operation, extensible in future releases).
> *Key capabilities:*
> * Consumer-side endpoint that validates each arriving exchange using Citrus
> message validation
> * Supports {{messageType}} option ({{json}}, {{xml}}, {{plaintext}}) to
> select the appropriate Citrus validation module
> * Users configure expected message templates (body), header validation
> expressions, and path validation expressions (JsonPath, XPath) via a *fluent
> API on the endpoint* — similar to how MockEndpoint provides methods to verify
> processed exchanges
> * Propagates exchange properties as Citrus test variables, enabling use of
> Citrus functions and validation matchers in expected templates
> * Prepares the Citrus runtime context automatically per exchange
> *Validation module dependencies:*
> The component does *not* bundle Citrus validation modules out of the box.
> Users must explicitly add the required validation module dependency for their
> message type (e.g., {{citrus-validation-json}}, {{citrus-validation-xml}}) to
> their test classpath.
> *Scope (initial):*
> * Java DSL only (XML/YAML DSL support can follow)
> * Consumer-side validation only (producer-side capabilities can follow)
> * Complementary to existing camel-test-* modules, not a replacement
> *Location:* under {{components/camel-test/}} alongside existing test modules.
> *Dependencies:* Uses the Citrus version already managed in Camel (5.0.2).
