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 theCamelContext
to which thisComponent
belongs. ThesetCamelContext()
method is automatically called when you add the component to aCamelContext
.createEndpoint()
—The factory method that gets called to createEndpoint
instances for this component. Theuri
parameter is the endpoint URI, which contains the details required to create the endpoint.
