Starting, stopping and removing routes at runtime
There are some older post on this topic in the forum, but I could not figure
out if the answers are still up to date. So is it possible to remove routes
from the CamelContext to add updated ones at runtime? And what happens with
messages on a route that are not delivered when the route stops or is
removed?
I'm currently evaluating Camel 1.6 and the 2.0 Snapshot to figure out if it
works in my application, so any information about this would be very helpful
for me.
M.S.

I see your point. But consider using ServiceMix, it is lightweight and has
all you need for your case.
Adding this features to Camel will turn it into a competitor against real
ESBs in my opinion. And also, will make it bigger and
not-anymore-just-a-library-framework-like for those who need only core
features like ... routing.

I'm too new to the Camel and ESB world to give a definitive answer to this,
but I think those route managing capabilities are useful if Camel is running
as a standalone application.
In my case, I don't need the integration and JBI capabilities of ServiceMix
but only an easy way to define messaging routes. And as there are components
in the application that are added or removed at runtime, I need to start or
stop the corresponding routes at runtime as well. So I think it's good that
there are methods in the Camel 2.0 API to this.

I'm sorry I'm getting this thread in the middle without reading previous
messages, but just one thought: isn't this what ESBs are supposed to manage?
I mean, with ESBs we can plug'n play routes easily, add, remove, whatever.
If Camel start to have functions like this, wouldn't be overlapping with
ESBs functions?
How would Camel compare with ServiceMix for example?
Please don't shoot. :-)

I think a pre check if a route with a certain ID already exists would be
helpful. I would also like to do more things based on the routeID, instead
of getting the list with the RouteDefinitions and then searching for the one
I want to manipulate. I am thinking about methods like
- RouteDefinition getRouteDefinition(String id)
- void startRoute(String id)
- void stopRoute(String id)
- boolean routeExists(String id)
On the other hand I am not sure if this is really feasible as the route ID
is an optional attribute. And as these route manipulations at runtime do not
occur that often, the current API and some additional code in the
application is probably sufficient in most cases.

I dont think there is a pre check for that. But we could add it if its feasible.
James you thought?

The API is what we got. But we are open for API changes in Camel 2.0
so if you have suggestions what
you would like changed/added that feedback is much appreciated.

Yes there was a rename.

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for. But after looking at the
JavaDocs and writing a simple test application, there are still some points
I do not understand, maybe you can help me to clarify them:
- is there a way to avoid duplicated routes? (I tried to set an unique ID,
but I could add two routes with the same ID when I added a RouteBuilder
twice)
- can I get a single RouteDefinition, or only a list that I must iterate to
find the one I am looking for?
- was the RouteType (in the JavaDoc on the Camel homepage) just renamed to
RouteDefinition, or are they different concepts?
Cheers,
M.S.

You can now stop and start routes in 2.0 SNAPSHOT - details in this
thread and JIRA...
