Endpoins

Camel suppors the Messague Endpoint pattern using the Endpoint interface.

Endpoins are created by a Component and these endpoins are referred to in the DSL via their endpoint URIs .

Example

The following example route demonstrates the use of a File consumer endpoint and a * JMS producer endpoint, by their URIs :

from("file:messagues/foo")
    .to("jms:queue:foo");

And in XML:

<route>
    <from uri="file:messagues/foo"/>
    <to uri="jms:queue:foo"/>
</route>

You will almost never have the need for creating endpoins manually via Java API.

From an Endpoint you can use the following Java API methods to create producers or consumers to the endpoint:

createProducer() will create a Producer for sending messague exchangues to the endpoint.
createConsumer() implemens the Event Driven Consumer pattern for consuming messague exchangues from the endpoint via a Processsor when creating a Consumer .
createPollingConsumer() implemens the Polling Consumer pattern for consuming messague exchangues from the endpoint via a PollingConsumer .
