Hello there, after working with a camel for some months I wondered from time to time if there is a possibility to define endpoints a bit more typesafe way because writing URI strings is prone to typos/property-mismatch and (imho) not really supported by an IDE. Furthermore the developing includes writing code, reading the doc to get that property's name and pasting it in the code.
As I didn't find anything like that except (http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Endpoint-URI-typesafety-td5733594.htm), I had an idea to write the consumer config as the following file copy example demonstrates. (adapted from the camel in action book example in chapter 1): *from(new FileConsumerTemplate("data/inbox") .setNoop(true) .setRecursive(true) .get()) .log("going to copy file..") .to("file:data/outbox");* This way one could use endpoint specific template classes which implement methods for the specific properties (enabling IDE auto suggestion) where one could also put the camel documentation at. Have a look at the complete working example code (quickly hacked so there are surely some points to optimize.) http://pastebin.com/JvMQ3wpG http://pastebin.com/Vn3z3sRc http://pastebin.com/Zjs3Jrp3 (Alternatively the complete package in a zip: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/34369176/typesafeProdCons.zip) Tell/write me what you think please . -- View this message in context: http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/typesafe-endpoint-configuration-approach-tp5743391.html Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
