If you use any of the Spring properties support then you need context:property-placeholder. SpringSource guys are not very friendly to make it easy for 3rd party to influence the placeholder code. There has been a JIRA for more then 3+ years about that. See the Camel FAQ. However there was a person in this forum which posted a way of doing a "delegate" using a bit more ugly <bean> style. Where you define a custom <bean> that wraps the spring property placeholder and bridge that with Camel. We could reconsider that and maybe try to add some nicer way if that would be possible. BTW how do you reference that property from your bean? We have considered adding a Camel annotation to reference a Camel property. But I assume ppl would rather use a Spring annotation or something from the JDK if possible. It would be neat if there was a standard annotation 3rd party frameworks could rely on. > -- > View this message in context: > http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Using-PropertiesComponent-tp4299191p4299191.html > Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > -- Claus Ibsen ----------------- FuseSource Email: cib...@fusesource.com Web: http://fusesource.com CamelOne 2011: http://fusesource.com/camelone2011/ Twitter: davsclaus Blog: http://davsclaus.blogspot.com/ Author of Camel in Action: http://www.manning.com/ibsen/
