Table 59. Delay Properties
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Specifies the expression language used to process the expression. |
| Specifies whether processing tasks will be scheduled for processing at a later time. The default is Disabled. |
| Specifies whether tasks rejected by the thread pool are executed by the calling thread. The default is Disabled. |
| Specifies a text description for the node. This description is included in the generated XML file, but it is informational only. It is not used by Apache Camel. |
| Specifies a reference for looking up the executorService to use for thread pool management. |
| Specifies a unique identifier for the endpoint. The tooling automatically generates an id for a node when it is created, but you can remove that id or replace it with your own. The Camel debugger requires all nodes with a breakpoint set to have a unique id. You can use the id to refer to endpoints in your Camel XML file. |
