Hello there,
after working with a camel for some months I wondered from time to time if
there is a possibility to define endpoints a bit nicer because writing URI
strings is prone to typos/property-mismatch and (imho) not really supported by
an IDE.
Furthermore the developing includes writing code, reading the doc to get that
property x's name and pasting it in the code.
As I didn't find anything like that, I had an idea to write the consumer config
as the following file copy example demonstrates.
(adapted from the camel in action book example in chapter 1):
from(new FileConsumerTemplate("data/inbox")
.setNoop(true)
.setRecursive(true)
.toString())
.log("going to copy file..")
.to("file:data/outbox");
This way one could use endpoint specific template classes which implement
methods for the specific properties (enabling IDE auto suggestion) where one
could also put the camel documentation at.
Have a look at the complete working example code (quickly hacked so there are
surely some points to optimize.)
