Grzegorz Grzybek edited comment on CAMEL-7995 at 11/4/14 8:15 PM: ------------------------------------------------------------------ Because Camel model (JAXB-based) elements (e.g. processor definitions) can have many String properties which can be defined using placeholders (_templates_), to support marshalling to XML (via JAXB) in two modes (with placeholders and with replaced values) we should actually keep two {{*Definition}} objects because (for example) template values in {{ProcessorDefinition}} are replaced with actual values when {{Processor}} instances are created. Maybe processor definition could keep a copy if itself from the moment it was created (something like instance→template relationship)? Also there's inconsistency: {{ProcessorDefinition}} instances have their placeholder values replaced with actual values when the {{Processor}} is created. But this is not the case for {{FromDefinition}} which only provides it's (probably parameterized with placeholder) value of {{uri}} in {{org.apache.camel.model.FromDefinition#resolveEndpoint()}}. was (Author: gzres): Because Camel model (JAXB-based) elements (e.g. processor definitions) can have many String properties which can be defined using placeholders (_templates_), to support marshalling to XML (via JAXB) in two modes (with placeholders and with replaced values) we should actually keep two {{*Definition}} objects because (for example) template values in {{ProcessorDefinition}} are replaced with actual values when {{Processor}} instances are created.

And the route model gets updated with the resolved > values, eg so {{ }} gets replaced with the value. > So when you dump the route model as xml (eg as source) then you loose the {{ > }} placeholders and see the actual values. > We should allow to keep the {{ }} so the route model is 100% as designed, but > we should also store the resolved values that the runtime route is using, so > you can see those values as well. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
