Hello, Gordon! I would do it like this.
<camelContext> <propertyPlaceholder id="emailProps" location="classpath:xxx"/> <route id="ActionProcessor:direct:email"> <from uri="direct:email"/> <setHeader headerName="subject"> <constant>{{some.processor.consumer.camel.email.subject}}</constant> </setHeader> <setHeader headerName="contentType"> <constant>text/plain;charset=UTF-8</constant> </setHeader> <setBody> <constant>{{some.processor.consumer.camel.email.body}}</constant> </setBody> <to ref="uri"/> </route> </camelContext> If you want to keep your property file visible in your whole spring context, then I would do a trick like: <context:property-placeholder ignore-resource-not-found="true" location="classpath:xxx" id="props"/> <propertyPlaceholder id="myProps" location="ref:props"/> ...... <camelContext> </camelContext> For more information you can always go to http://camel.apache.org/properties.html -- View this message in context: http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/how-to-get-subject-and-body-for-mail-from-a-properties-file-tp5767080p5767095.html Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
