Description

In BaseMainSupport.java the route id to be used for routes instantiated based on templates using properties seems to be determined by using square brackets with non-number indices (see CAMEL-15270):

...

> String id = StringHelper.between(entry.getKey(), "[", "]"); ...

> source.addParameter(id, key, entry.getValue()); ...

> 

I fear that may break compatibility with YAML formatted application configuration files, or at least I can't figure out how to model it in YAML.

My attempts are shown in the two YAML excepts below, which will cause

"binding to target [Bindable@7af327e3 type = java.util.List<java.util.Map<java.lang.String, java.lang.String>> failed".

The first example results in properties generated i. e. camel.route-template.config[4][0].auto-start, as I can't get around the yaml list.

 

 1)

 camel:

     route-template:

         config:

             "[4]":

                 - template-id:   "template-route"

                   ...

 2)

 camel:

     route-template:

         config:

             "[4]":

                 template-id:   "template-route"

                 ...

 

Pls. provide a possibility or an example to configure routes based on templates in YAML.

 

Additional remark: I tried to set the route id in a route template definition converter, however, in DefaultModel.java, the id is overwritten after the converter is applied:

RouteDefinition def = converter.apply(target, prop);
if (routeId != null)

{ def.setId(routeId); }

Is that intended?
