To implement a Fuse Mediation Router component, you must implement the
org.apache.camel.Component interface. An instance of
Component type provides the entry point into a custom component. That is, all
of the other objects in a component are ultimately accessible through the
Component instance. Figure 6.1 shows
the relevant Java interfaces and classes that make up the Component inheritance
hierarchy.
Example 6.1 shows the definition of the
org.apache.camel.Component interface.
Example 6.1. Component Interface
package org.apache.camel;
public interface Component {
CamelContext getCamelContext();
void setCamelContext(CamelContext context);
Endpoint createEndpoint(String uri) throws Exception;
}The Component interface defines the following
methods:
getCamelContext()andsetCamelContext()—References theCamelContextto which thisComponentbelongs. ThesetCamelContext()method is automatically called when you add the component to aCamelContext.createEndpoint()—The factory method that gets called to createEndpointinstances for this component. Theuriparameter is the endpoint URI, which contains the details required to create the endpoint.
