The direct: component provides direct, synchronous invocation of any consumers when a producer sends a message exchange.
This endpoint can be used to connect existing routes in the same camel context.

|| Name || Default Value || Description ||
| {{allowMultipleConsumers}} | {{true}} | *@deprecated* If set to {{false}}, then when a second consumer is started on the endpoint, an {{IllegalStateException}} is thrown. *Will be removed in Camel 2.1:* Direct endpoint does not support multiple consumers. |
| {{block}} | {{false}} | *Camel 2.11.1:* If sending a message to a direct endpoint which has no active consumer, then we can tell the producer to block and wait for the consumer to become active. |

Samples
In the route below we use the direct component to link the two routes together:
![]() Code Block |
|
|
from("activemq:queue:order.in")
.to("bean:orderServer?method=validate")
.to("direct:processOrder");
from("direct:processOrder")
.to("bean:orderService?method=process")
.to("activemq:queue:order.out");
|
And the sample using spring DSL:
![]() Code Block |
|
|
<route>
<from uri="activemq:queue:order.in"/>
<to uri="bean:orderService?method=validate"/>
<to uri="direct:processOrder"/>
</route>
<route>
<from uri="direct:processOrder"/>
<to uri="bean:orderService?method=process"/>
<to uri="activemq:queue:order.out"/>
</route>
|
