Configuring whether Camel should be auto started or not in XML DSL

The old option shouldStartContext have been removed and replaced with this new autoStartup option instead. What it allows is to configure Camel to not auto start when Spring starts.

...

    ApplicationContext ac = ...
    SpringCamelContext camel = (SpringCamelContext) ac.getBean("myCamel");
    
    // now start Camel manually
    camel.start();

Configuring whether a route should be started or not in XML DSL

You can use the autoStartup option to configure if a given route should be started when Camel starts. By default a route is auto started.

You can disable or enable it as follows:

In XML DSL you define it as follows:

<route autoStartup="false">
   <from uri="activemq:queue:special"/>
   <to uri="file://backup"/>
</route>

And to explicit state it should be started

<route autoStartup="true">
   <from uri="activemq:queue:special"/>
   <to uri="file://backup"/>
</route>

String startupRoute = "true";   
from("activemq:queue:special").autoStartup(startupRoute).to("file://backup");
...
from("activemq:queue:special").autoStartup("{{startupRouteProperty}}").to("file://backup");

In XML DSL you define it as follows:

...

<route autoStartup="false">
   <from uri="activemq:queue:special"/>
   <to uri="file://backup"/>
</route>

And to explicit state it should be started

<route autoStartup="true">
