Chapter 11. Browse
Browse Component
Available as of Apache Camel 2.0
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
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(); ... } }
