Camel 2.7.0 release (currently in progress)
New and Noteworthy
Welcome to the 2.7.0 release which approx XXX issues resolved (new features, improvements and bug fixes such as...)
Dependency changes
The Camel 2.7.0 release has a number of major dependency changes:
- JDK 1.6+ is now required
- Spring 3.x+ is now required if using Spring
- slf4j
is used as logger instead of commons logging
In other words support for JDK 1.5 and Spring 2.x has been dropped.
- Switched to use slf4j
as the logger instead of commons logging.
- Camel now checks state of
Service
during starting/stopping the Lifecycle of theService
. This avoids double starting/stopping in case the service was already in the desired state. - Added support for MDC logging with Camel
- JMS consumer now eager checks if Camel is shutting down and signals that to its
DefaultMessageListenerContainer
which avoids trying to re-connect/failover during shutdown. - Introduced option to automatic Mock endpoints during testing. This makes testing without having to add Mock endpoints in your routes a breeze. See more details at Mock component documentation.
- Added
assertPeriod
option to Mock endpoint, which is a period im milliseconds, that the Mock will pause and then re-assert itself to ensure the assertion is still valid. This can be used as a threshold when testing with expectations that exactly a given number of messages should arrive on the Mock endpoint. - Added
arrives
DSL to Mock endpoint to allow you to setup expectations about timespan between messages arriving on the Mock endpoint. See more details at Mock component documentation. - HTTP4 is upgraded to use Apache HttpClient 4.1
- Fixed an issue with File consumer having absolute starting directory and using absolute paths in the
move
option as well

Important changes to consider when upgrading
- Java 1.6 or better is required
- Spring 3.0.x or better is required, when using Spring
- Apache CXF 2.3.2 or better is required, when using CXF
- Switched to use slf4j
as the logger instead of commons logging. That means you may have to included
slf4j-log4j12
as dependency if you are using log4j.
See documentation at slf4jfor more details.
- If you have developed custom Camel Components and your
Endpoint
class extendsDefaultEndpoint
then its advised to use thedoStart
anddoStop
instead ofstart
andstop
.
