Hi All, I discovered casually that you can use a bean endpoint in a from (I did an error and it started out an infinite loop of exchanges)
I checked the documentation http://camel.apache.org/bean.html but it still says that "A bean: endpoint cannot be defined as the input to the route", but then I've found in this message http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Consume-from-a-java-bean-td5743580.html that it is instead possible and it does call the method infinitely from a single threaded consumer! So, is this a feature that is not documented and I can use it safely (I do take the responsibility to control the flow in the bean with sleeps or whatever I need to avoid infinite loops), or is this going to be removed in a next Camel releases? Since how long is this feature available? (I'm now usingCamel 2.13.2, I remember I tried time ago to use a bean: in a from but I got an exception that the route could not be initialized...) By the way, It could be nice to add a URI parameter to bean: that enable to slow down the maximum rate (maybe using a ScheduledExecutorService.scheduleAtFixedRate or ScheduledExecutorService.scheduleAtFixedDelay from a Executors.newSingleThreadScheduledExecutor() ) and a "retry time" to be used in case of exceptions (which could be useful as if the bean gives an exception, it could have lost its capability to control the flow and then as a Route designer I want to limit the impact and avoid the infinite loop). Thank you ! Cristiano
