Found the following issue when the standard example "camel-blueprint" is modified as following.
Used the file blueprint.xml with the <camelContext> section replaced with the following: <camelContext xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/blueprint"> <routeContextRef ref="myRoutes"/> </camelContext> <routeContext id="myRoutes" xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring" > <route> <from uri="timer://myTimer?fixedRate=true&period=2000" /> <bean ref="myTransform" method="transform"/> <to uri="log:ExampleRouterBlueprint" /> </route> </routeContext> Such a blueprint hang when starting camel context in local Eclipse environment. Or it get in "GracePeriod" oncethe modified example is deployed to Karaf. (Standard unmodified example is working good in both my evironments) And even if I added a reference to emptry <routeContext/> into working camelContext - it would usually result in hang the camel. Camel version used - 2.15.2 I did not try in Spring or with Java/DSL. -- View this message in context: http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/blueprint-routeContext-tag-prevents-Camel-from-starting-tp5770023.html Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
