Looks great. We can always ponder with the API later. Maybe from a maintenance point of view you would like to be able to stop routes based on the id alone, so you from a web console can stop / start routes and submit the id from the web form. I assume each route has a unique id that can be used for higher level manipulation from scripts (yeah there is a id on the route type and route service as well)? So you can eg. submit a route to be replace an existing route from a script and pass in the route id? And a feature I would love in the future was to be able to pause individual consumers. eg. pause a file consumer temporary to pile up files and you can tamper with the routes, or you were told to pause it since some back end system is not available. So you can say that if you could pause routes then that would be lovely as it can be used as well. However we do have support for routes with multiple inputs (eg multiple from -> same route) so if you pause the route you pause them all, but I guess that could make sense. > > -- > James > ------- > http://macstrac.blogspot.com/ > > Open Source Integration > http://fusesource.com/ > -- Claus Ibsen Apache Camel Committer Open Source Integration: http://fusesource.com Blog: http://davsclaus.blogspot.com/
