Configuring property locations dynamically at runtime
I want to configure the camel context's list of property file locations
dynamically. Basically each of my environments (dev,stage,prod) have a
particular hierachy of property file overrides and the list has to be
determined at runtime.
Rather than as below statically listing them in my spring config file:
<bean id="properties"
class="org.apache.camel.component.properties.PropertiesComponent">
<property name="locations"
value="file:config/config.properties,file:config/config-dev.properties" />
</bean>
I want to calculate a dynamic list, I've worked out how todo this when using
CamelTestSupport by overriding createCamelContext.
@Override
protected CamelContext createCamelContext() throws Exception {
CamelContext context = super.createCamelContext();
// Load test specific properties
PropertiesComponent properties =
context.getComponent("properties",PropertiesComponent.class);
properties.setLocations(myDynamicLocations);
But how can I do this from my actual route that extends RouteBuilder?, I
tried overriding createContainer but this doesnt seemed to get called.
public class RadialRouteBuilder extends RouteBuilder {
/**
* A main() so we can easily run these routing rules in our IDE
*
* @param args command line arguments
* @throws Exception exception that terminated running of main thread
*/
public static void main(String... args) throws Exception {
Main.main(args);
}
@Override
protected CamelContext createContainer() {
CamelContext context = super.createContainer();
PropertiesComponent properties = new PropertiesComponent();
properties.setLocations(myDynamicLocations);
context.addComponent("properties", properties);
return context;
}
This just ends with me getting exception:
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: PropertiesComponent with name
properties must be defined in CamelContext to support property placeholders.

... 26 more
I may be trying to use a sledge hammer to crack a nut, so there may be an
easier way of doing this? The main point is that the exact list of
properties files are not known until runtime, this may be unusual but is
just the way it is!

Re: Configuring property locations dynamically at runtime
Posted by Willem Jiang <wi...@gmail.com>.
Hi,
I suggest you to create the CamelContext yourself instead of using the
Main from camel.
It could be more handy for you to inject the customer properties component.
