Hi, maybe I'm wrong but I think it's not possible to set the Id of an Endpoint even if you would cast the:
org.apache.camel.Endpoint reference you've got inside your route to: org.apache.camel.impl.DefaultEndpoint as the id field is declared to be final so that there's no setter method provided... Of course you could still set it through the reflection-API (since JDK 1.6 it's possible to set even a final field) but that would be IMHO really a hack: CamelContext context = new DefaultCamelContext(); DefaultEndpoint endpoint = (DefaultEndpoint)context.getEndpoint("file:foo"); System.out.println(endpoint.getId()); Field id = DefaultEndpoint.class.getDeclaredField("id"); id.setAccessible(true); id.set(endpoint, "endpoint2"); System.out.println(endpoint.getId()); Which prints: endpoint1 endpoint2 But again, this's really not nice.
