Aha :-) I tested in Spring and it works. I think the service approach actually is what I'm looking for, since the import seems to "run" the xml-file again, which means if I include it in many files, camel will try to define the routes in the included files as many times as it's included.
Where should I look to find information about export and import camel-context as a service? I very much appreciate your help. I've spend almost a day on trying to figure this out :-) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation=" http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring/camel-spring.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd"> <import resource="file:///home/idempiere/AppServers/karaf/deploy/blackbox.xml"/> <camelContext id="whitebox" xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring" depends-on="blackbox"> <route id="TestWhiteBox"> <from uri="context:blackbox:testBlackBox"/> <log message="Called black box from white box"/> </route> </camelContext> </beans> -- View this message in context: http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/camel-context-only-seems-to-work-within-the-same-file-or-do-I-use-it-wrong-tp5738442p5738480.html Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
