Hello, In my scenario, I have a consumer that produces to a set of SMSC connections using the SMPP Apache Camel component and the load balance pattern.
The multiple SMSC connections are used for load balancing and failover when an SMSC cluster is down. The problem is that when a connection is down the camel connector will retry to reset the connection, which works as expected, whereas when the application is restarted and the route cannot be created, due to a connection refused error, the whole application crashes. So how I can assure that the application will start even when a connection is down since that might be a common issue ? Can I set the load-balanced endpoints to be optional whereas a queue consumer to be mandatory, for the application start-up ? Best regards, Memas
