You could learn angularjs (instead of JSF) and camel together, which is way cooler and more fun - then hack on hawtio :)

In Camel XML you can't create an anonymous inner class for a Processor (since that requires Java source and a Java compiler); so hawtio has the same limitation. Though if you write some Java bean/processor and register it into your registry (JNDI / Spring / CDI / guice / whatever) you can then reference it from the XML DSL (and so from hawtio, Fuse IDE etc) So a simpler solution than creating anonymous Processors is just to create Java methods and then invoke them from the Camel DSL (e.g. method call expressions or using bean integration) http://camel.apache.org/bean-integration.html or if its for converting between different data types; then Camel's type conversion approach is pretty good: http://camel.apache.org/type-converter.html -- James ------- Red Hat Email: jstra...@redhat.com Web: http://fusesource.com Twitter: jstrachan, fusenews Blog: http://macstrac.blogspot.com/ Open Source Integration
