Camel 2.6.0 release (currently in progress)
New and Noteworthy
Welcome to the 2.6.0 release which approx XXX issues resolved (new features, improvements and bug fixes such as...)
- Fixed issue in OSGi with refreshing Camel bundles causing a race condition when discovering type converters
- Introduced ScheduledRoutePolicy with the Quartz component
- Java DSL RouteBuilder now fails if
onException
and the likes are not configured before routes, which they must. - Easier to debug routes from
camel-test
using the Debugger - Fixed problem installing
camel-cxf
feature on Apache Karaf. - The EIP now supports property placeholders in the
String
based options (a few spots in Java DSL where its not possible). For example:<convertBodyTo type="String" charset="{{foo.myCharset}}"/>
- Introduced ScheduledRoutePolicy to allow you to schedule when routes should be active.
- Introduced
stepwise
option to FTP component to allow end users to control how to traverse directories of the FTP servers. This allows you to setstepwise=false
to return back to the behavior from Camel 2.0 - 2.4. See more at the FTP documentation. - Thread names now outputs CamelContext name which makes it easier to differentiate when running multiple Camel applications in the same JVM.
- Introduced
contentCache
option to XSLT component to allow easy reloading of stylesheets during development. - Improved Camel JMX to always find next free name when registering in JMX and existing name exists (to remedy name clash). This makes it easier when deploying muliple WARs in the same JVM where the Camel applications may have same CamelContext id. In OSGi the name in JMX now has the bundle id as prefix.
- Fixed BeanShell language
- Quartz now supports using older versions (eg versions 1.6/1.7) of quartz JARs.
- The Aggregator EIP will use a synchronous invocation when processing completed aggregated Exchanges, when not running in parallel mode. This ensures no internal task queue is used, which otherwise could stack up tasks and under certain conditions eat up memory. Enable
parallelProcessing
if you want to use a separate thread for processing completed aggregated Exchanges.

camel-test
JAR in theCamelSpringTestSupport
classes now returns a more genericAbstractApplicationContext
type in thecreateApplicationContext
method.
Known Issues
- The Tracer may not output all details for some situations such as when using
onCompletion
orintercept
etc. - Not all Examples have ANT build.xml files to run the example using ANT.
- Project cannot be fully build using Maven 3.0
- One may encounter build errors in camel-ftp with java versions older than "1.5.0_24"
- Dozer does not work in OSGi
camel-blueprint
is not fully feature complete (such as @Producer, @Consume is not supported)camel-blueprint
using <package> scan does not work
Important changes to consider when upgrading
- Upgraded to Spring 3.0.5
- Upgraded to Apache CXF 2.3.0 (although CXF 2.2.11 is still supported)
- Upgraded to Jetty 7.2.0.v20101020
- The Java DSL now enforces
onException
and the likes to be defined before routes, if not Camel will fail starting the route. - The Aggregator EIP will use a synchronous invocation when processing completed aggregated Exchanges, when not running in parallel mode. This ensures no internal task queue is used, which otherwise could stack up tasks and under certain conditions eat up memory. Enable
parallelProcessing
if you want to use a separate thread for processing completed aggregated Exchanges.
