Configuring Camel without modifying the jar

Hi!

Is there a possibility to place the camel-context.xml outside the .jar
file to enable configuring the system without changing the jar package?
The use case is to deploy the same .jar but changing the .xml for
individual customers.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks to all!

Adding this to my Spring config did the trick.

<import resource="file:files/eai/context/camel-context.xml" />

Regards,
Thorsten

Hey Thorsten,
You may put general import directive in Spring XML configuration file. For example:

<import resource="file*:/var/myproduct/camel.xml" />

Another option is to extract configuration variables to properties and re-use them in camel configuration.

Best regards,
Lukasz

The Main class has options to load from file system. Check out its source code.
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/camel/branches/camel-2.7.x/components/camel-spring/src/main/java/org/apache/camel/spring/Main.java
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/camel/branches/camel-2.7.x/camel-core/src/main/java/org/apache/camel/impl/MainSupport.java

You can run the Main without any arguments, or with -help to display
the option it supports.

I'm using Camel version 2.7.2 as a standalone application by using the
class org.apache.camel.spring.Main.

Where do I specify this file?

Hi

What version of Camel are you using?

And what server/container are you using?

But in general the .xml file can be placed on the filesystem, and you
can refer to it with the file: prefix.
