camel-quarkus-activemq extension broker url configuration

[jwwallin]

There doesn't seem to be any good way of configuring the ActiveMQ broker url for this extension. At the very least there is no documentation on how to do this.

Configuring component is not different from plain camel, depending on your set-up you have multiple options:

• If you have camel-quarkue-main among the dependencies of your project, you can use the property camel.component.activemq.broker-url
• If you run on plain CDI you can create your custom instance of the component see the bootsrtap guide

Thanks for the quick answer. I resorted to using the second option you gave as it was the only one I could find on my own.

I do still think this information should be clearly stated in the documentation for this extension. There is no indication that you would need to use either of these two approaches. It could be as simple as saying that with the camel-quarkus-main dependecy you can use the Spring Boot configuration properties.

we can add it but in general components follow the same rules regardless of the runtime and if not, the difference are documented.

in this example, the documentation about this extension https://camel.apache.org/camel-quarkus/latest/reference/extensions/activemq.html redirects to the component guide as there are no difference

[jwwallin]

True, it does point to the components documentation, but that doesn't help me if the way to use that information isn't clearly stated. My point here is that the necessary information should really be easy to access, easiest way being clearly stated in the context it applies. That could also just be a link to a tutorial on using camel-quarkus-main. My problem with this is solved so I'll close this issue.

We probably need to reorganize the documentation in some areas, do you mind open an issue with some suggestions to the main camel project ?

[jwwallin]

I'll happily do that but I didn't quite understand where exactly you mean. What do you mean by the "main camel project"?

[lburgazzoli]

Well, as you know camel-quarkus is a sub-project of Apache Camel and since this issue is not quarkus specific, I'd recommend opening an issue against Camel (https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/CAMEL)
