Browse Component

The Browse component provides a simple BrowsableEndpoint which can be useful for testing, visualisation tools or debugging. The exchanges sent to the endpoint are all available to be browsed.

URI format

browse:someName[?options]

Where someName can be any string to uniquely identify the endpoint.

Sample

In the route below, we insert a browse: component to be able to browse the Exchanges that are passing through:

  from("activemq:order.in").to("browse:orderReceived").to("bean:processOrder");

We can now inspect the received exchanges from within the Java code:

    private CamelContext context;

    public void inspectRecievedOrders() {
        BrowsableEndpoint browse = context.getEndpoint("browse:orderReceived", BrowsableEndpoint.class);
        List<Exchange> exchanges = browse.getExchanges();
        ...
        // then we can inspect the list of received exchanges from Java
        for (Exchange exchange : exchanges) {
            String payload = exchange.getIn().getBody();
            ...
        }
   }
