Sure. I have a system which manages Routes dynamically, which requires some garbage collection to iterate through all Routes in the CamelContext and remove any which are deemed no longer necessary. For the sake of discussion, let's say that I wanted to associate a "color" property with all Routes built by a particular RouteBuilder. Later on, I want the garbage collection algorithm to remove "red" Routes after running for 30 minutes and leave other Routes alone.
The easiest way to accomplish that would be to call a method from the RouteBuilder which adds a "color" property to each Route it creates, which I'd then inspect later on. However, the only method I have available to me is RouteDefinition.setProperty(), which sets properties on the Exchanges created by the Route, not on the Route itself. My current work-around is to maintain my own Route-Properties mapping in memory. Does this make sense?
