Overriding Blueprint property placeholders outside CamelContext

Available as of Camel 2.10.4

When using Blueprint property placeholder in the Blueprint XML file, you can declare the properties directly in the XML file as shown below:

{snippet:id=e1|lang=xml|url=camel/trunk/components/camel-test-blueprint/src/test/resources/org/apache/camel/test/blueprint/configadmin-outside.xml}

Notice that we have a <bean> which refers to one of the properties. And in the Camel route we refer to the other using the {{ }} notation.

Now if you want to override these Blueprint properties from an unit test, you can do this as shown below:

{snippet:id=e1|lang=java|url=camel/trunk/components/camel-test-blueprint/src/test/java/org/apache/camel/test/blueprint/ConfigAdminOverridePropertiesOutsideCamelContextTest.java}

To do this we override and implement the useOverridePropertiesWithConfigAdmin method. We can then put the properties we want to override on the given props parameter. And the return value must be the persistence-id of the <cm:property-placeholder> tag, which you define in the blueprint XML file.

Using .cfg or .properties file for Blueprint property placeholders

Available as of Camel 2.10.4

When using Blueprint property placeholder in the Blueprint XML file, you can declare the properties in a .properties or .cfg file. If you use Apache ServieMix / Karaf then this container has a convention that it loads the properties from a file in the etc directory with the naming etc/pid.cfg, where pid is the persistence-id.

For example in the blueprint XML file we have the persistence-id="stuff", which mean it will load the configuration file as etc/stuff.cfg.

{snippet:id=e1|lang=xml|url=camel/trunk/components/camel-test-blueprint/src/test/resources/org/apache/camel/test/blueprint/configadmin-loadfile.xml}

Now if you want to unit test this blueprint XML file, then you can override the loadConfigAdminConfigurationFile and tell Camel which file to load as shown below:

{snippet:id=e1|lang=java|url=camel/trunk/components/camel-test-blueprint/src/test/java/org/apache/camel/test/blueprint/ConfigAdminLoadConfigurationFileTest.java}

Notice that this method requires to return a String[] with 2 values. The 1st value is the path for the configuration file to load.
The 2nd value is the persistence-id of the <cm:property-placeholder> tag.

The stuff.cfg file is just a plain properties file with the property placeholders such as:
