• using Java system property camel.delay=value where value is the fixed delay in millis.
• setting the delay attribute in the spring camelContext tag.
• adding the delay interceptor to the CamelContext in Java code.

Configuring

...

You can set the delay as a JVM system property as:

-Dcamel.delay=500

Where we set the delay to 500 millis.

Configuring using Spring

Just set the delay attribute of the camelContext tag as shown below:

    <camelContext id="camel" delaydelayer="500" xmlns="http://activemq.apache.org/camel/schema/spring">
        <route>
            <from uri="direct:start"/>
            <to uri="mock:result"/>
        </route>
    </camelContext>

...

    public void configure() throws Exception {
        // add the delay interceptor to delay each step 200 millis
        getContext().addInterceptStrategy(new Delayer(200));

       ... // regular routes here
    }

In Camel 2.0 its a bit easier as you can just do

getContext().setDelayer(200);

Granularity

In Camel 2.0 you can configure it on both camel context and per route as you like. Per route will override the camel context setting.
For example the route below is only the first route that has a delayer with 200 millis.

<camelContext ...>

   <route delayer="200">
     ...
   </route>

   <route>
     ...
   </route>

</camelContext>
