Apache Camel #4 - Processors

Hello Devs!

Long time no new article!

Guess i have to fix that.

Today we are talking about processors in Apache Camel routes.

Processors are a part of camel which enables us to write our custom components and business logic and implement it in the routes.

There are two ways of using processors.

1. Creating a class and implementing Processor with process method. This way we can easily write a test and separate processor logic from route itself. It looks something like this in the route.

.process(new CustomProcessor())

Processor itself will look something like this:

public class CustomProcessor implements Processor {

    @Override
    public void process(Exchange exchange) {
         exchange.getIn().setBody("test");
    }
}

1. Functional way.

.process(exchange -> exchange.getIn().setBody("test"))

Even though this way is easier that first, it couples processor logic to route and you could only test it if you test whole route.

That would be all for today!
Stay safe,stay cool!
