Property endpoints allow you to resolve the address for the endpoint using a property placeholder. Property placeholders can be created using a properties file, OSGi properties, the OSGi registry, Spring beans, or as part of the route definition.
The URI format for a property endpoint is:
properties:key[?options]
Where key is the key for the property to lookup.
Table 52.1 describes the options for a property endpoint.
