Message Endpoint

Camel supports the Message Endpoint from the EIP patterns using the Endpoint interface.

How does an application connect to a messaging channel to send and receive messages?

Connect an application to a messaging channel using a Message Endpoint, a client of the messaging system that the application can then use to send or receive messages.

When using the DSL to create Routes , you typically refer to Message Endpoints by their URIs rather than directly using the Endpoint interface. It’s then a responsibility of the CamelContext to create and activate the necessary Endpoint instances using the available Components .

Example

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

  • Java

  • XML

  • YAML 

from("file:messages/foo")
    .to("jms:queue:foo");
<route>
    <from uri="file:messages/foo"/>
    <to uri="jms:queue:foo"/>
</route>
- route:
    from:
      uri: file
      parameters:
        directoryName: messages/foo
      steps:
        - to:
            uri: jms
            parameters:
              destinationType: queue
              destinationName: foo
