Java – how do I load the camel attribute into a bean?

I've been reading the following pages about camel properties: http://camel.apache.org/using-propertyplaceholder.html I also read the book "camel in action"

I find chapter 6 of "camel in action" very useful in defining camel attributes. I can start from config Properties loads the following three properties:

config.timeout=10000
config.numSamples=1000
config.defaultViz=a

When I run my java code, I can The following three values can be seen in the camel route in XML, as shown in the following thread #0 message:

14669 [Camel (HelloWorldContext) thread #0 - timer://hello.world.request.timer] INFO  route1  - printing values read from config.properties file
14669 [Camel (HelloWorldContext) thread #0 - timer://hello.world.request.timer] INFO  route1  - config.timeout= 10000
14669 [Camel (HelloWorldContext) thread #0 - timer://hello.world.request.timer] INFO  route1  - config.numSamples= 1000
14670 [Camel (HelloWorldContext) thread #0 - timer://hello.world.request.timer] INFO  route1  - config.defaultViz= a

However, when I try to pass the variable {{config. Defaultviz}} to the string named defaultviz in my sensorgenerator Java class and print the string, I get "{{config. Defaultviz}}" on the console instead of the included value in {{config. Defaultviz}}

In other words, this is what I see on the screen:

Returning List
defaultViz= {{config.defaultViz}}

But I really want to see this on the screen:

Returning List
defaultViz=a

So I'm in ApplicationContext What did you do wrong in XML?

Update: the problem is that I need to add a bridge between spring and camel, as described in the link referenced above

This is my updated ApplicationContext XML and bridges:

I found that the problem is similar but not identical: injecting property into bean

Solution

The {}} notation applies only to routing (that is, in the context of XML camel) To use it in beans, I think you need to define the property placeholder bridge provided by camel, but use the ${} notation in beans Instructions on how to use the bridge are located in the link you provide
