Claus Ibsen resolved CAMEL-25865.
---------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
> camel-jbang - the tools and the Simple docs say how to read a data file:
> constant with resource:file:, and load() under camel run

> Key: CAMEL-25865
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-25865
> Project: Camel
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: camel-core, camel-jbang
> Reporter: Claus Ibsen
> Assignee: Claus Ibsen
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 4.24.0

>
> A route that needs a data file, such as a lookup table (stock.json), reads it
> with the constant language: {{resource:file:stock.json}}, for example in a
> {{setVariable}}. That recipe is only on the page of the constant language.
> The tools point elsewhere:
> * {{camel_catalog_doc file}} says "to consume one message in the middle of a
> route use the poll EIP (poll: {uri: ...}), or pollEnrich";
> * a consumer option on a {{to: file:...}} (such as fileName with noop) gets
> "to read from an endpoint in the middle of a route use the poll EIP, or
> pollEnrich".
> The poll EIP consumes the file (it is moved away without noop), which is not
> what a lookup needs.
> The Simple docs say that {{load()}} "can only load from classpath; and not
> the file-system". That is so, but with Camel JBang, {{camel run}} puts the
> files of the project on the classpath ("Additional files added to classpath:
> ..."), so {{${load(stock.json)}}} reads a stock.json next to the routes. The
> docs do not say it.
> Found in a benchmark of Oct 19-20 2026: in a JMS example, 7 of 12 runs tried
> to load stock.json and failed; no run opened the constant page.
> Proposal:
> * For the file component, both hints add: to read a data file the route
> needs, such as a lookup table, use the constant language with resource:file:
> (such as setVariable with constant: resource:file:stock.json). Other
> components keep their hint.
> * The Simple docs say that camel run puts the files of the project on the
> classpath, and point to resource:file: of the constant language to read a
> file of the file system in any runtime.
