Camel Quarkus limitations

CSimple language is supported in all existing DSLs, but be aware that to extract the expressions from the existing route definitions, a dry run is done during the startup in JVM mode or during the build in Native mode which adds some log entries of the following type that you can simply ignore.

The compilation of CSimple scripts happens at build time by default. To be able to discover the scripts in the route definitions, those definitions need to get assembled at build time. When extending org.apache.camel.builder.RouteBuilder, this basically means instantiating your RouteBuilder, setting a fake CamelContext instance on it and calling its configure() method. It may fail if your configure() method attempts to access some resource that is only available at runtime.

You can use the quarkus.camel.expression.on-build-time-analysis-failure configuration parameter to decide what should happen in such cases. Possible values are warn (default), fail or ignore.

You can also simply disable the expression extraction process by setting the configuration parameter quarkus.camel.expression.extraction-enabled to false.

If the expression extraction process is disabled or fails, the expressions are then compiled at runtime which also means that it can only work in JVM mode moreover the artifact org.apache.camel:camel-csimple-joor has to be added to the classpath.

CSimple language will not work on Camel Quarkus if used in a org.apache.camel.builder.LambdaRouteBuilder or if a RouteBuilder depends on dependency injection.
