I'd like to share my workaround in case anybody is interested (using Camel
2.11.0):
I was successful with the following approach:
camelContext.stopRoute( "my-file-route", 30, SECONDS );
camelContext.removeRoute( "my-file-route" );
MyPollingRoutes newRoutes = new MyPollingRoutes( newPollDir );
camelContext.addRoutes( newRoutes );
MyPollingRoutes extends RouteBuilder and in configure() I do something like:
from( "file://" + this.pollDir + "?antInclude=*.xml" ).routeId(
"my-file-route" )
.to( ... );
This simply stops the existing route and replaces it with a new one (using a
different path) during runtime.
It is necessary to create and add a new instance of MyPollingRoutes instead of
just changing the pollDir member, since Camel wouldn't call configure() again
after re-adding it to the context.
