Hello again.

I'd personally like to contribute to bring Beanio back to Camel, but in the context of our customer's works I'm afraid we can't afford it : our current job is essentially to create and maintain softwares and information systems of these business entities, using middlewares and tools, and not providing them. We're planing a migration from our old Red-Hat Fuse to more recent, lighter Karaf and Camel stack, and the road seems to be... quite long...

I've had a look at the camel-beanio's code, and it seems that it should not be so difficult to fork it or perhaps reuse a part of it, considering only the beanio features, without any component interface (avoiding future work to follow Camel versions and changes), with processors for example. This would imply some changes to our routes, but would limit impacts on the many files mappings and their processing.

But this is probably not the preferred strategy : a data format in the Camel's scope is still clearly the best choice, offering a fully integrated component for all...

I've noticed, if I'm not wrong, that the old camel-beanio library itself has no external dependency (out of Camel's world) that could be a concern about security CVEs. This is probably a good news, whatever solution.

So I also vote to get beanio back :) !

Regards.

If you have time and there is a willing to maintain the library, this is
good

As of today, the only updated release is milestone from 18 months ago and
no further work.

There should be a community of developers working on the beanio fork to
consider it again for being in Camel.

I would vote to bring this back and maintaining it. We also have numerous

I'm not sure what their upgrade plans are for Camel 3 so I have some
time. MarciSent from my Galaxy

users@camel.apache.org Subject: Re: Camel 3.X / DataFormat BeanIO The
problem with this kind of dead libraries is related to the fact thatthey
rapidly become affected by multiple CVEs.So being mature and non
maintained, it's a problem.Since nobody updates or release new versions,
going ahead we're going toinclude weak libraries if we maintain them in
codebase.So, I don't think there is any hope to see the component back in
the camelcodebase.Il giorno mar 27 dic 2022 alle ore 12:00 Ephemeris Lappis
