So I tried what you all said. (And now I get it about the springConfiguration).
My spring configuration now looks like that : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:jdbc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/jdbc" xmlns:camel="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation=" http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/jdbc http://www.springframework.org/schema/jdbc/spring-jdbc.xsd http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring/camel-spring.xsd"> * <bean id="myDataSource" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource" destroy-method="close"> <property name="url" value="jdbc:mysql://172.27.178.73:3306/db" /> <property name="driverClassName" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" /> <property name="username" value="dev" /> <property name="password" value="mypassword" /> </bean> * </beans> But now I get an error I don't really understand called :"NoSuchBeanException" Exception in thread "main" org.apache.camel.FailedToCreateRouteException: Failed to create route route1 at: >>> Split[xpath{XPath: /tabnames/tabname/subTrajectory/month} -> [...]], To[jdbc:dataSource?useHeadersAsParameters=true] <<< in route: Route(route1)[[From[file:src/data/xmlTest]] -> [Split[xpath{... because of Failed to resolve endpoint: jdbc://dataSource?useHeadersAsParameters=true due to: No bean could be found in the registry for: dataSource of type: javax.sql.DataSource [...] Caused by: org.apache.camel.ResolveEndpointFailedException: Failed to resolve endpoint: jdbc://dataSource?useHeadersAsParameters=true due to: No bean could be found in the registry for: dataSource of type: javax.sql.DataSource [...] Caused by: org.apache.camel.NoSuchBeanException: No bean could be found in the registry for: dataSource of type: javax.sql.DataSource [...] Do I need something more than camel-core and camel-jdbc in my pom.xml ? -- View this message in context: http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Configuring-database-with-jdbc-tp5753574p5753586.html Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
