On a related note (an maybe blueprint related) example.endpoint = file:\\\\example.host.com
<from uri="{{example.endpoint}}" /> => Does not work: creates folder in root of c:\ named example.host.com and reads from that <from uri="file:\\\\example.host.com" /> => Works / reads from windows share example.host.com Any ideas on this? Should i try spring based routes here or is this sort of property usage not supported? -- View this message in context: http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Cannot-use-file-xx-in-blueprint-route-properties-tp5770764p5770770.html Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
