The context component allows to send/receive messages between Camel routes in a black box way. The context component allows you to create new Camel Components from a CamelContext with a number of routes which is then treated as a black box, allowing you to refer to the local endpoints within the component from other CamelContexts. It is similar to the Routebox component in idea, though the Context component tries to be really simple for end users; just a simple convention over configuration approach to refer to local endpoints inside the CamelContext Component.

Name Kind Group Required Default Type Enum Description
contextId path common true java.lang.String Is the ID you used to register the CamelContext into the Registry.
localEndpointUrl path common true java.lang.String Can be a valid Camel URI evaluated within the black box CamelContext. Or it can be a logical name which is mapped to any local endpoints. For example if you locally have endpoints like direct:invoices and seda:purchaseOrders inside a CamelContext of id supplyChain, then you can just use the URIs supplyChain:invoices or supplyChain:purchaseOrders to omit the physical endpoint kind and use pure logical URIs.
bridgeErrorHandler parameter consumer 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 parameter consumer (advanced) org.apache.camel.spi.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 parameter consumer (advanced) org.apache.camel.ExchangePattern InOnly

Sets the exchange pattern when the consumer creates an exchange.
synchronous parameter advanced false boolean Sets whether synchronous processing should be strictly used, or Camel is allowed to use asynchronous processing (if supported).
