The Component Interface

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 5.1 shows the relevant Java interfaces and classes that make up the Component inheritance hierarchy.


Example 5.1 shows the definition of the org.apache.camel.Component interface.


The Component interface defines the following methods:

  • getCamelContext() and setCamelContext()—References the CamelContext to which this Component belongs. The setCamelContext() method is automatically called when you add the component to a CamelContext.

  • createEndpoint()—The factory method that gets called to create Endpoint instances for this component. The uri parameter is the endpoint URI, which contains the details required to create the endpoint.
