> CAMEL-10447 has introduced InputType/OutputType declaration and declarative Transformer/Validator based on those types declared on a route.
> Next step is to provide type metadata for each Components/DataFormats:
> * Let components/DataFormats provide metadata about what data types are supported so that app developer can see
> * Narrow down the possible data types (i.e. exclude unsupported types) and transformers when writing a route in IDE, allow IDE to show those candidates as a hint so that app developer can choose from. Also maven plugin could leverage those metadata
> * Provide such facility from camel side so that the maven plugin and/or IDE can leverage it
> Annotation would be an option, but it only provides static types. For example xslt component only consumes/produces XML so "XML" could be provided via annotation. But dozer component consumes/produces arbitrary data formats and the actual type to be used is determined via configuration, so it cannot be provided via annotation. It would need a common way to calculate possible input types and output types on a component/endpoint and dataformat from its configuration.
> Sometimes even body of the input message would affect the possible output types. To visualize this we'll need some kind of simulation with a test message.
