Hi
1. You are sending to direct:start a String, not a file/folder to consume from.
If you turn on trace I'm sure this is what you'll see.
So you don't need magic, you're already consuming the file using the XML route,
but if you want to feed some other XML instead then you can use the producer to
either write XML to that folder or send it to a new route which tests your
beans in isolation.
2. Noop isn't set on the consumer in the XML, so it can't work,
And when you do set it, your string has no effect.
3. Maybe when you see what you're producing in 1. you get a better picture, but
it simply sends a body and maybe header/s to some endpoint, just many
variations in the API.
Check out the chapter on testing for inspiration.
