Chapter 16. 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();
...
}
}
