Types in routeTemplates

[ski n]

I like to create a route template with a parameter of a specific Java type.

For example the following routetemplate:

routeTemplate("mypollenrich")
        .templateParameter("timeout","5000")
        .from("direct:in")
        .pollEnrich("myuri", "{{timeout}}","CurrentEnrichStrategy")
                .to("direct:out");

The above routetemplate is not accepted because the parameter "{{timeout}}"
is a String, while a long is expected. Is it possible to pass the parameter
as a long (and in general just any Java type)?

I now tried to parse the String as Long like this:

routeTemplate("mypollenrich")
        .templateParameter("timeout","5000")
        .from("direct:in")
        .pollEnrich("myuri",
Long.parseLong("{{timeout}}"),"CurrentEnrichStrategy")
                .to("direct:out");

But doesn't seem allowed. What is the correct way of doing it?
