| = Camel Component Starters |
| |
| Starters are Apache Camel modules intended to be used in Spring Boot applications. |
| There is a `camel-xxx-starter` module for each Camel component (with few exceptions listed below). |
| |
| You should always use the `camel-xxx-starter` modules when using Spring Boot with Camel. These are the Camel components |
| which are officially supported with Spring Boot. If there is no `camel-xxx-starter` module then the Camel component is not supported on Spring Boot with Camel. |
| |
| Starters are created to meet the following requirements: |
| |
| * Allow the auto-configuration of the component through the native spring-boot configuration system (compatible with IDE tooling) |
| * Manage transitive logging dependencies to better integrate with spring-boot logging system |
| * Include additional dependencies and align transitive ones to minimize the effort of creating a working spring-boot application |
| * May include additional features such as additonal configurations, actuators, or health checks |
| |
| Each starter has its own integration test (in path `tests/camel-itest-spring-boot`) that verifies its compatibility with the current release of spring-boot. |
| |
| The following components do not have a starter: |
| |
| * **camel-blueprint** (intended for OSGi only) |
| * **camel-cdi** (intended for CDI only) |
| * **camel-eventadmin** (intended for OSGi only) |
| * **camel-paxlogging** (intended for OSGi only) |
| * **camel-spark-rest** (does not work with Spring Boot) |
