Just like the Java DSL, the Scala DSL has a RouteBuilder (org.apache.camel.scala.dsl.RouteBuilder) class that can be extended.
{snippet:iyou have to extend to implement your own routes. This example shows you two very simple routes.

{snippet:id=basic|lang=java|url=activemq/camel/trunk/components/camel-scala/src/test/scala/org/apache/camel/scala/dsl/BasicRouteBuilderTest.scala}

If you compare this to the Java DSL, you notice:

• there is no configure() method to override
• a route starts directly with a URI instead of from(uri)
• → is just an alias for to

• At ApacheCon Europe 2008 there was a Fast Feather talk that introduced some of the basic Scala language concepts that are being used for building the Scala DSL. Here are the presentation slides .

Pipeline

There is a simple syntax available for specifying pipeline, by simple putting to or &rarr between the different steps in the pipeline.

{snippet:id=simple|lang=java|url=activemq/camel/trunk/components/camel-scala/src/test/scala/org/apache/camel/scala/dsl/PipelineRouteBuilderTest.scala}

For more advanced use cases, you can also use a block-based syntax.

{snippet:id=block|lang=java|url=activemq/camel/trunk/components/camel-scala/src/test/scala/org/apache/camel/scala/dsl/PipelineRouteBuilderTest.scala}
