Claus Ibsen commented on CAMEL-10197: ------------------------------------- Yes a concern is that there will be gazillions of properties and end users would loose oversight. Using a Camel component as end user you are intended to use the primary options (eg exposed by Camel). Also refs makes sense to configure a property with #foo to refer to a bean with the id foo. In case the property is not a string, or numeric, boolean type. So you can say camel.component.jetty.httpClient=#myClient And then you can have a @Bean @Named("myClient") in Spring Boot that creates a HttpClient bean. > camel-spring-boot - Extend the configuration hints to nested properties > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CAMEL-10197 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-10197 > Project: Camel > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: camel-spring-boot > Reporter: Nicola Ferraro > Assignee: Dhiraj Bokde > > Support for spring-boot configuration allows users to configure the component > properties but does not give any hint on nested properties. > There are many components that declare properties on nested beans. > Eg. camel-docker has only one property named _configuration_ . I found this > pattern in components that allow users to specify a default value on the > component and override it on each endpoint, if necessary. > Setting the property: > {code} > camel.component.docker.configuration.host=172.28.128.4 > {code} > allows a user to specify the docker host, but the tooling does not give > suggestions about that property. > A way to allow the users to view the nested properties is using the > {{NestedConfigurationProperty}} annotation on the spring-boot configuration > class. The spring-boot inspector will scan the nested class for properties. > The drawback is that the javadoc is not read from setters. Another drawback > is that we will be using a different approach respect to the "read-the-json" > one. > We need to figure out how to add these properties. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
