---------------------------------------------
Summary: Clear up purpose of spring-boot and
camel-spring-boot-starter
Key: CAMEL-15479
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-15479
Project: Camel
Issue Type: Wish
Reporter: Franz J. Lanzendorfer
Hey there,
I'm in the process of piecing together a Camel application using learnings from
your [Spring boot
examples|https://github.com/apache/camel-spring-boot-examples]. I already have
a demo application which simply leaves the CamelContext open via Thread.sleep,
so my plan was to add the spring-boot dependencies and implement a proper
Service. However, I'm currently unsure about the purpose of two dependencies:
spring-boot vs. camel-spring-boot-starter.
[The Camel
documentation|https://camel.apache.org/camel-spring-boot/latest/spring-boot.html#SpringBoot-CamelSpringBootStarter]
regarding spring-boot only ever mentions including the
camel-spring-boot-starter dependency, however all of the linked examples rely
on a root project which uses the spring-boot project as its parent.
This leads me to the following questions, which I hope you can clarify for me:
# What is the role of spring-boot vs. camel-spring-boot-starter?
# If I want to set up a Maven project using these components would I use
spring-boot as the parent and include camel-spring-boot-starter as a
dependency? (as well as all the other camel dependencies I'd need to get the
project running of course)
# There often seem to be two versions of the "same" dependency: A default one
and a "...-starter" one (e.g. camel-jackson and camel-jackson-starter). In a
Camel-Spring-Boot application would I only ever use the '...-starter' variants,
or do these serve a different purpose?
I hope my questions are clear and you can clarify a few things for me. Thank
you again for your help!
Kind Regards
