The Browse component provides a simple BrowsableEndpoint which can be useful for testing, visualisation tools or debugging. The exchanges sent to the endpoint are all available to be browsed.

URI format

browse:someName[?options]

Where someName can be any string to uniquely identify the endpoint.

Options

The Browse component has no options.

The Browse component supports 5 endpoint options which are listed below:

{% raw %}

Name	Group	Default	Java Type	Description
name	common		`String`	Required A name which can be any string to uniquely identify the endpoint
bridgeErrorHandler	consumer	`false`	`boolean`	Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler which mean any exceptions occurred while the consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages or the likes will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. By default the consumer will use the org.apache.camel.spi.ExceptionHandler to deal with exceptions that will be logged at WARN/ERROR level and ignored.
exceptionHandler	consumer (advanced)		`ExceptionHandler`	To let the consumer use a custom ExceptionHandler. Notice if the option bridgeErrorHandler is enabled then this options is not in use. By default the consumer will deal with exceptions that will be logged at WARN/ERROR level and ignored.
exchangePattern	consumer (advanced)		`ExchangePattern`	Sets the default exchange pattern when creating an exchange.
synchronous	advanced	`false`	`boolean`	Sets whether synchronous processing should be strictly used or Camel is allowed to use asynchronous processing (if supported).

{% endraw %}

Sample

In the route below, we insert a browse: component to be able to browse the Exchanges that are passing through:

  from("activemq:order.in").to("browse:orderReceived").to("bean:processOrder");

We can now inspect the received exchanges from within the Java code:

    private CamelContext context;

    public void inspectRecievedOrders() {
        BrowsableEndpoint browse = context.getEndpoint("browse:orderReceived", BrowsableEndpoint.class);
        List<Exchange> exchanges = browse.getExchanges();
        ...
        // then we can inspect the list of received exchanges from Java
        for (Exchange exchange : exchanges) {
            String payload = exchange.getIn().getBody();
            ...
        }
   }
