James Strachan commented on CAMEL-743: -------------------------------------- Agreed on putting it into the camel distro; it should only depend on some gshell stuff which shouldn't change very much. How about we start by adding the easy stuff; like listing all routes, endpoints. Something like an ls command? Maybe we should make a kinda virtual camel file system - kinda like unix. e.g. {code} camel> ls routes endpoints camel> cd endpoints camel> ls direct:foo mock:cheese camel> ls -l direct:foo org.apache.camel.component.direct.DirectEndpoint mock:cheese org.apache.camel.component.mock.MockEndpoint camel> cd ../routes camel> ls route1 route2 route3 camel> cd route1 camel> ls -al from1 to1 to2 camel> ls -al from1 direct:foo to1 mock:cheese camel> cd mock:cheese camel> ls properties exchanges camel> cd exchanges camel> ls exchangeId1 exchangeId2 exchangeId3 camel> cd exchangeId1 camel> ls properties in out {code} You get the idea :) i.e. maybe we write a little generic kinda cd / ls file system shell which can be really easy to extend can then navigate around all the available endpoints & routes showing a summary listing or a detail listing etc. (Maybe we can just make this a kinda JMX browser really - not sure). Then other things we'd need to add are things like [turning on / off tracing|http://activemq.apache.org/camel/tracer.html], or enable/disable the the [delayer to really slow down the processing of routes so its easy to watch|http://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/CAMEL-640] - or even allowing stepping through routes maybe via the [debugger|http://activemq.apache.org/camel/debugger.html] and showing the contents of endpoints (i.e. showing what the tracer has collected). To answer your question on how to add new routes via a shell - maybe we just have a separate camel-scala shell that lets you type in the [scala DSL|http://activemq.apache.org/camel/scala-dsl.html]? > create a command line console for Camel for use in ServiceMix > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CAMEL-743 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/CAMEL-743 > Project: Apache Camel > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: James Strachan > Assignee: Willem Jiang > Fix For: 1.5.0 > > > for more background see... > * [console and commands|http://servicemix.apache.org/SMX4KNL/41-commands.html] > * [extending the > console|http://servicemix.apache.org/SMX4KNL/7-extending-the-console.html] > some ideas for what the console can do > * listing routes and the steps in routes > * dynamically add some simple routes. e.g. type in "from uri to uri".
