Best way for reusing routes
Hi all,
I'd like to write couple of route definitions that will be reused in
multiple places.
If I use the Java DSL it is straight forward, I can reuse the RouteBuilder
class in many places, but I want to use the XML DSL and I can see two
options:
1. Use <routes> statements. Looks like it is mostly used for unit tests.
2. Use routeContext to define the routes.
Can anyone tell me what is the difference and the intended use of 1 and 2?
What limitations they have compared to normal routes defined in Java DSL or
XML DSL?

TIA,

Further looking into that, the docs say
"<routeContext> is isolated and that that it cannot use <onException>,
<intercept>, <dataFormats> from the camelcontext"
but looking into latest Camel code it can use
Does the doc out of date or I'm misinterpreting it?

Thanks Claus.
And from top of your head, can you tell me how much is 1 and 2 different to
defining routes in a <camelContex> element?
My guess is that I have to go with Java DSL to be on the safe side and be
sure that the route definitions will function properly and reused in
different camel contexts defined in blueprint... Is that true?

1 and 2 boils down to the same.
<routeContextRef> will load the routes the same was as #1 does.
