From

Every Camel route starts from an Endpoint as the input (source) to the route.

The from EIP is the input.

the Java DSL also provides a fromF EIP, which can be used to avoid concatenating route parameters and making the code harder to read.

Options

The From eip supports 2 options, which are listed below.

Name	Description	Type
description	Sets the description of this node.	String
uri	Required Sets the URI of the endpoint to use.	String
variableReceive	To use a variable to store a copy of the received message body (only body, not headers). This is handy for easy access to the received message body via variables.	String
