This component allows also to connect routes deployed in different OSGI Bundles as you can see here after. Even if they are running in different bundles, the camel routes will use
the same thread. That autorises to develop applications using Transactions - Tx.

URI format

Code Block

direct-vm:someName

Where someName can be any string to uniquely identify the endpoint

Name

Default Value

Description

block

false

Camel 2.11.1: If sending a message to a direct endpoint which has no active consumer, then we can tell the producer to block and wait for the consumer to become active.

timeout

30000

Camel 2.11.1: The timeout value to use if block is enabled.

failIfNoConsumers

true

Camel 2.16.0: Indicates whether the producer should fail by throwing an exception when sending to a DIRECT-VM endpoint with no active consumers.

Samples

In the route below we use the direct component to link the two routes together:

Code Block
java
java

from("activemq:queue:order.in")
    .to("bean:orderServer?method=validate")
    .to("direct-vm:processOrder");

And now in another CamelContext, such as another OSGi bundle

Code Block
java
java

from("direct-vm:processOrder")
    .to("bean:orderService?method=process")
    .to("activemq:queue:order.out");

And the sample using spring DSL:

Code Block
xml
xml

   <route>
     <from uri="activemq:queue:order.in"/>
     <to uri="bean:orderService?method=validate"/>
     <to uri="direct-vm:processOrder"/>
  </route>

  <route>
     <from uri="direct-vm:processOrder"/>
     <to uri="bean:orderService?method=process"/>
     <to uri="activemq:queue:order.out"/>
  </route>
