Spring Boot Auto-Configuration

The starter supports 13 options, which are listed below.

Name	Description	Default	Type
camel.component.rest-api.autowired-enabled	Whether autowiring is enabled. This is used for automatic autowiring options (the option must be marked as autowired) by looking up in the registry to find if there is a single instance of matching type, which then gets configured on the component. This can be used for automatic configuring JDBC data sources, JMS connection factories, AWS Clients, etc.	true	Boolean
camel.component.rest-api.bridge-error-handler	Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions (if possible) occurred while the Camel consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. Important: This is only possible if the 3rd party component allows Camel to be alerted if an exception was thrown. Some components handle this internally only, and therefore bridgeErrorHandler is not possible. In other situations we may improve the Camel component to hook into the 3rd party component and make this possible for future releases. By default the consumer will use the org.apache.camel.spi.ExceptionHandler to deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored.	false	Boolean
camel.component.rest-api.consumer-component-name	The Camel Rest API component to use for the consumer REST transport, such as jetty, servlet, undertow. If no component has been explicitly configured, then Camel will lookup if there is a Camel component that integrates with the Rest DSL, or if a org.apache.camel.spi.RestApiConsumerFactory is registered in the registry. If either one is found, then that is being used.		String
camel.component.rest-api.enabled	Whether to enable auto configuration of the rest-api component. This is enabled by default.		Boolean
camel.component.rest.api-doc	The swagger api doc resource to use. The resource is loaded from classpath by default and must be in JSON format.		String
camel.component.rest.autowired-enabled	Whether autowiring is enabled. This is used for automatic autowiring options (the option must be marked as autowired) by looking up in the registry to find if there is a single instance of matching type, which then gets configured on the component. This can be used for automatic configuring JDBC data sources, JMS connection factories, AWS Clients, etc.	true	Boolean

If either one is found, then that is being used.		String
camel.component.rest.enabled	Whether to enable auto configuration of the rest component. This is enabled by default.		Boolean
camel.component.rest.header-filter-strategy	To use a custom org.apache.camel.spi.HeaderFilterStrategy to filter header to and from Camel message. The option is a org.apache.camel.spi.HeaderFilterStrategy type.		HeaderFilterStrategy
camel.component.rest.host	Host and port of HTTP service to use (override host in swagger schema)		String
camel.component.rest.lazy-start-producer	Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.	false	Boolean
camel.component.rest.producer-component-name	The Camel Rest component to use for the producer REST transport, such as http, undertow. If no component has been explicitly configured, then Camel will lookup if there is a Camel component that integrates with the Rest DSL, or if a org.apache.camel.spi.RestProducerFactory is registered in the registry. If either one is found, then that is being used.		String
