Config file from file system for apache camel quickfix application

Question

I'm trying to read cfg file from file system but I couldn't find any example. Is it possible to create a route like that: Reading the config file from application.properties(it's a spring boot application)

from("quickfix:{{XX.config.file}}").routeId("XXFixRoute")

application.properties:

XX.config.file=/home/user/fixApp/XXconfig.cfg

Thanks in advance.

No it can only be loaded from classpath. The code is loading the config file is here: https://github.com/apache/camel/blob/master/components/camel-quickfix/src/main/java/org/apache/camel/component/quickfixj/QuickfixjEngine.java#L253

But it could be a nice enhancement to allow to load the resource from file or classpath, as some of the other Camel components can do. You are welcome to log a JIRA ticket at Apache Camel issue tracker: http://camel.apache.org/support.html
