Antoine DESSAIGNE commented on CAMEL-7419: ------------------------------------------ We may be the only ones but we're not using spring at all, we're using classic JAXB deserialization of a {{RoutesDefinition}} object. Thus, the solution based on spring won't help us. On the other hand, I love the notation with children tags such as {{file}}, that way you can have attribute type information. The only thing that we need to take care of is handling of custom Components. > Configure endpoints with many options in the DSL using a mix of url and > properties > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CAMEL-7419 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-7419 > Project: Camel > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: camel-blueprint, camel-core, camel-spring > Reporter: Claus Ibsen > Fix For: 3.0.0 > > > See nabble > http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/longish-uri-on-file-endpoint-tp5750862.html > We could toy with the idea of allowing to configure endpoints using a mix of > uri's and properties. So you can define the uri in a more readable manner if > it has many options. > {code} > <from uri="ftp:someserver"> > <property name="delete" value="true"/> > <property name="username" value="{{ftpUser}}"/> > <property name="password" value="Se!@rec"/> > ... // more properties here > </from> > {code} > This should also be supported in the <endpoint>, eg > {code} > <endpoint id="myFtp" uri="ftp:/xxxx"> > <property name="delete" value="true"/> > <property name="username" value="{{ftpUser}}"/> > <property name="password" value="Se!@rec"/> > </endpoint> > {code} > We could also support breaking (a bit wacky idea) up the url's in multiple > properties url2, url3, url4, which get's appended as one combined url by > Camel internally. This allows people to breakup options that may belong > together in a few url's. We may come up with a better name than url2, url3 > etc. > {code} > <from uri="ftp:someserver"> > <property name="url2" value=".... more options here"/> > <property name="url3" value=".... more options here"/> > </from> > {code} > Also we can support the p:xxx attribute syntax so you can do shorthand > property assignment. We do this with the property placeholder in the EIPs. > (see Using property placeholders for any kind of attribute in the XML DSL at > http://camel.apache.org/using-propertyplaceholder.html). Then it becomes just > one tag. > {code} > <from uri="ftp:someserver" > p:delete="true" > p:username="{{ftpUser}}" > p:password="Se!@rec"/> > {code} > Although using the <from><property> is similar to what you do in > spring/blueprint and also tooling friendly. So you can have code assistance > in your IDE, and XML schema validation. > Also it allows for people to configure their passwords without using RAW() > style. As the value is used as-is. > And for Java DSL, we can have some java builder to do similar. But people can > also just break up their strings, or use string format etc. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
