Hello Zoran So what you propose is (in pseudocode):
RouteBuilder builder = new RouteBuilder() { from("direct:start") .enrich("file://src/main/resources/inputs/test.txt") ... .to("direct:result"); } CamelContext camel = new DefaultCamelContext(); camel.addRoutes(simpleRoute); camel.start(); camel.createProducer().send("direct:start"); String result = camel.createConsumer().receiveBody("direct:result", String.class); camel.stop(); That would start the Camel Engine but it would wait for a command ("direct:start") before it does anything and then would have to be manually be polled, correct?
