Chapter 9. The Source View
The tooling's Source tab opens the route editor in Source view (Figure 9.1) to display the contents of an Apache Camel route file as XML.
Figure 9.1. Source view
The Source view is useful for editing and adding any configuration, comments, or beans to the routing context file. The Content Assist functionality helps you when working with configuration files. In the Source view, press Ctrl+Space to see a list of possible values that can be inserted into your project.
While the route editor allows you to change the contents of the
camelContext
element in the routing context file, not all changes are preserved. Comments inserted into the camelContext
element are lost upon switching to Design view.
