             Summary: camel-spring-boot - Extend the configuration hints to nested properties
                 Key: CAMEL-10197
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-10197
             Project: Camel
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: camel-spring-boot
            Reporter: Nicola Ferraro


Support for spring-boot configuration allows users to configure the component properties but does not give any hint on nested properties.

There are many components that declare properties on nested beans.
Eg. camel-docker has only one property named _configuration_ .  I found this pattern in components that allow users to specify a default value on the component and override it on each endpoint, if necessary.

Setting the property:
{code}
camel.component.docker.configuration.host=172.28.128.4
{code}

allows a user to specify the docker host, but the tooling does not give suggestions about that property.

A way to allow the users to view the nested properties is using the {{NestedConfigurationProperty}} annotation on the spring-boot configuration class. The spring-boot inspector will scan the nested class for properties.

The drawback is that the javadoc is not read from setters. Another drawback is that we will be using a different approach respect to the "read-the-json" one.

We need to figure out how to add these properties.
