How to dynamically update/remove routers?

public class DynamicRoutesTest extends CamelTestSupport {

@Test
public void routesCanBeCreatedDynamically() throws Exception {
MockEndpoint mock = setExpectedMessagesToMock("mock:out-endpoint", 1);

context.addRoutes(createDynamicRoute("dynamicRouteId",
"direct:in", "mock:out-endpoint"));

sendBody("direct:in", "payload to dynamic endpoint");

assertSatisfied(mock);
}

@Test
public void routesCanBeUpdatedDynamicallyToo() throws Exception {
// we're going to change the destination endpoint so the old
one should receive no exchanges and the new on one.
MockEndpoint oldDestination =
setExpectedMessagesToMock("mock:out-endpoint", 0);
MockEndpoint newDestination =
setExpectedMessagesToMock("mock:new-out-endpoint", 1);

context.addRoutes(createDynamicRoute("dynamicRouteId",
"direct:in", "mock:out-endpoint"));

//stop the route by its id
context.stopRoute("dynamicRouteId");

context.addRoutes(redirectTrafficToDifferentEndpoint("dynamicRouteId",
"mock:new-out-endpoint"));

sendBody("direct:in", "payload to dynamic endpoint");

assertSatisfied(oldDestination, newDestination);

}

using JMS or ActiveMQ instead

The SEDA component does not implement any kind of persistence or recovery, if the VM terminates while messages are yet to be processed. If you need persistence, reliability or distributed SEDA, try using either JMS or ActiveMQ.

The other asynchronous endpoint (VM)

The vm: component provides asynchronous SEDA behavior so that messages are exchanged on a BlockingQueue and consumers are invoked in a separate thread pool to the producer.

Synchronous endpoints (direct:)

Direct uses no threading; it directly invokes the consumer when sending.
