Hi, Thanks for the responses.
> [1] http://camel.apache.org/spring-testing.html I have read this and it doesn't really answer my question. I already do integration testing using fluent dsl for : direct-> processor/bean -> mock I have integration tests in Camel using Camel test framework for these simple integrations. The problem is that I want to test the spring config and also test the memory consumption of a single route before integrating the route into my main context (which is also Spring). So for each part of the route I have classic JUnit tests and also Camel Tests, now I want an end-to-end test : from fileconsumer via processing pojos to persistence >> Then the next thing is to feed the data into the route. >> If you want to keep your file endpoint you could copy files into the >> directory it listens to. This needs to be repeatable, so manually copying a file into a directory is out. >> I normally use a producer (see >> http://camel.apache.org/pojo-producing.html). For this aproach you need to >> start the route with a direct endpoint. This is the part I don't get - I have already configured the from endpoint in Spring, I need to kickstart the route from within the context of JUnit's TestRunner. This works fine with direct:start So I can get this route to work : <camel:route id="mock-integration-test"> <camel:from uri="direct:start"/> <camel:bean ref="Unmarshaller" method="unmarshall"/> <camel:bean ref="Transformer" method="transform"/> <camel:to uri="mock:result"/> </camel:route> by using: @Produce(uri = "direct:start") private ProducerTemplate template; @Test @DirtiesContext public void testIntegrated() throws Exception { resultEndpoint.expectedBodiesReceived(result); template.sendBody(test); resultEndpoint.assertIsSatisfied(); } but this only has a subset of test data (hardcoded in the Test class), So I need to be able to consume a representative sample of test data: <camel:route id="integration-test"> <camel:from uri="direct:file"/> <camel:to ref="file-consumer"/> <camel:split streaming="true"> <camel:tokenize token="\n"/> <camel:bean ref="Unmarshaller" method="unmarshall"/> <camel:bean ref="Transformer" method="transform"/> <camel:to uri="mock:result"/> </camel:split> </camel:route> How can I trigger this? Thanks, Kev
