How to load/register a RouteTemplate at the CamelContext?

[ski n]

Hi,

I have a Camel routeTemplate like this:

public class MyRouteTemplates extends RouteBuilder {

    @Override
    public void configure() throws Exception {
        // create a route template with the given name
        routeTemplate("myTemplate")
            // here we define the required input parameters (can have
default values)
            .templateParameter("name")
            .templateParameter("greeting")
            .templateParameter("myPeriod", "3s")
            // here comes the route in the template
            // notice how we use {{name}} to refer to the template parameters
            // we can also use {{propertyName}} to refer to property
placeholders
            .from("timer:{{name}}?period={{myPeriod}}")
                .setBody(simple("{{greeting}} ${body}"))
                .log("${body}");
    }
}

And I like to call it from a route as a Kamelet like this:

from("direct:a")
  .to("kamelet:myTemplate?someparameters")

How to make "myTemplate" available to the CamelContext?


I saw in camel-examples that is using camel-main that you can do it like
this:

        Main main = new Main();
        main.configure().addRoutesBuilder(MyRouteTemplates.class);

However I am not using main, but Camel core. So I tried it like:

MyRouteTemplates myRouteTemplates = new new MyRouteTemplates();
myRouteTemplates.addRoutesToCamelContext(context);

or

context.addRoutes(myRouteTemplates);


However I get "org.apache.camel.component.kamelet.KameletNotFoundException:
Kamelet with id myTemplate not found in locations: classpath:/kamelets".

This was using Camel 3.14.4

What is the correct way to register/load routeTemplate so they can used by
a Kamelet endpoint?
