[jira] [Commented] (CAMEL-10197) camel-spring-boot - Extend the configuration hints to nested properties

["Nicola Ferraro (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-10197?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15402074#comment-15402074 ] 

Nicola Ferraro commented on CAMEL-10197:
----------------------------------------

I did a fast check and found the following modules (there can be more):

{noformat}
camel-avro
camel-box
camel-braintree
camel-cache
camel-crypto
camel-docker
camel-facebook
camel-ganglia
camel-google-calendar
camel-google-drive
camel-google-mail
camel-kestrel
camel-linkedin
camel-lucene
camel-mail
camel-mina
camel-mina2
camel-nagios
camel-netty
camel-netty4
camel-olingo2
camel-salesforce
camel-smpp
camel-xmlSecurity
camel-zookeeper
--- 
camel-http -> multiple non-annotated beans
camel-http4 -> multiple non-annotated beans
camel-splunk -> 2 levels, first using an interface
camel-stomp -> not sure properties on components are ever read
camel-undertow -> uses complex beans
{noformat}

Using the IDE to generate the getter/setter is definitely easier than changing the maven plugin (and bind it to a different phase).

> 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.
