Defines a policy the route will use

Usage

The Policy pattern allows you to specify a policy, such as a security policy, to which all nodes that follow it must adhere. The policy is configured as a Spring bean.

The Policy pattern can appear anywhere in the body of a route.

Properties

Table 144, “Policy Properties” describes the properties you can specify using the properties editor.

Table 144. Policy Properties

NameDescription

Ref

Specifies a reference to the Spring bean configuring the policy to be enforced.

Description

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.

Id

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.
