Can I manually trigger a camel route, given it takes no input?

vikingsteve Sep 13, 2013 7:41 AM

Given I am running my applications in fuse, and I can see the routes via route-list:

admin@server1> route-list

Route Id Context Name Status

[MyServiceRoute ] [MyServiceCamelContext] [Started ]

For testing purposes, is there a way I can trigger this route via the command line? Something like route-start?

The context is this: My route is usually triggered by the cron component. It takes no input.

Of course I can build a JMX component which starts it, but sometimes I would just like to start things manually during testing.

Thanks for any tips

You cannot do this from the karaf shell.

But the web console with hawtio allows you to do that. http://hawt.io/ You can send messages to Camel endpoints. Though forcing a route to trigger from a quartz endpoint is harder as its really only quartz which can do this. If we open up for being able to send a message to any Camel route, then that could also be a little security risk. Though as you say for some kind of DEVELOPER mode it may be desirable to do so easily.
