I am using Camel 2.12.2. I assume this is supported, but I've been looking and looking all day and found nothing.
I load properties and apply them to generic routes. All the route's particulars -- the URI -- are defined in the properties file. The route knows how to look up its properties because the pattern is static as follows: <routeType>.<propertyId>.property For example, move.testupload.directory=c:\\Temp The route resolves these as follows: a) the <propertyId> is passed in as a header setHeader("propId", "sometest"). The properties are then resolved like this: .log("directory = ${properties:move.${header.propId}.dir}") My first question is: is this a reasonable strategy? Is there a better way to accomplish this? My main question is how to use this dynamic property lookup in "file" to specify the directory? from("file://<directory> ...") This doesn't work: from("file://${properties:move.${header.propId}.dir}?noop=true") I tried passing in as header. Same problem -- ${} is not allowed in the URI. I would have thought the file component would have a way to set the directory as an argument (a la fileName). Some writers have suggested that you could use fileName= but I have not been able to get it to work. .from("file://?noop=true&fileName=${properties:move.${header.propsId}.dir}") I can't use the straight property language because it's not dynamic ("testupload" is hardcoded, not gleaned from a header value). .from("file://{{move.testupload.from.dir}}?noop=true") Any specific help is appreciated. I've used recipientList when the URI is in a to() -- is there a equivalent to recipientList for from()? -- View this message in context: http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Set-directory-at-runtime-with-file-tp5747126.html Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
