Overview

This is the core framework for ciao, linking in with camel and adding functionality for CIPs. It links the configuration functionality in ciao-configuration into camel so that standard camel property placeholders can be used in camel routes - for example:

.log("***** Config value = {{ConfigValue}} *****")

Usage

To use this in your CIP code, you will need to subclass two classes:

CIPRoutes

Override the configure() method - this is where you will define your camel routes. For example:

@Override
public void configure() {
	from("jetty:http://0.0.0.0:8080/test?traceEnabled=true").routeId("testRouteHTTP")
		.log("***** Config value = {{ConfigValue}} *****")
		.to("bean:loggingBean?method=logValue({{ConfigValue}})");
	super.configure();
}

Note: you should always call super.configure at the end of your method to ensure any common routes for all CIPs are also initialised.

RunCIP

Override the populateCamelRegistry() to configure your custom beans and other custom components - for example:

@Override
protected void populateCamelRegistry(JndiContext jndi)
		throws NamingException {
	jndi.bind("loggingBean", new LoggingBean());
}

Call super.init to initialise the camel context, and then call super.startCamel to start your CIP - for example:

CamelContext context = super.init(args, "testCIP.properties");
context.addRoutes(new Route());
super.startCamel(context);

You can see a working example of the above in the unit test code included in this project.
