Adding beans and configuration

Revision History

Overview

Many routing patterns rely on references to Java objects (beans) for configuration or for implementation details. You add the beans into the routing context file using the route editor's Source tab.

Procedure

To add beans to your routing context file:

  1. Open your routing context file in the route editor.

  2. Click the Source tab at the bottom of the route editor's canvas to switch to Source view, so you can edit the XML that defines the route.

  3. Enter the bean elements needed by your route before the camelContext element.

    [Note]Note

    Use the id attribute to identify the bean, not the name attribute.

    Do not edit the contents of the camelContext element. Red Hat Fuse IDE overwrites the camelContext element when changes are made to the route diagram in Design view.

  4. Save your changes by selecting File > Save on the menu bar.

  5. Click the Design tab at the bottom of the route editor's canvas to return to Design view and the route diagram.
