The string-template:
component allows you to process a message using an Apache Velocity templatea String Template. This can be ideal for generated template based responses to requests.

Headers
Camel will store a reference to the resource in the message header with key, org.apache.camel.stringtemplate.resource
. The Resource is an org.springframework.core.io.Resource
object.
Hot-Reloading
The string template resource is by default hot-reloadable for both file and classpath resources (expanded jar). If you set contentCache=true
, Camel will load the resource just once, disabling hot-reloading. This scenario can be used in production when the resource never changes.
StringTemplate Attributes
Camel will provide exchange information as attributes (just a java.util.Map
) to the string template. The Exchange is transferred as:
