Direct

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.

	Note
	The Seda component provides asynchronous invocation of any consumers when a producer sends a message exchange.

	Note
	The VM component provides connections between Camel contexts as long they run in the same JVM.

direct:someName[?options]

Where someName can be any string to uniquely identify the endpoint

You can append query options to the URI in the following format, ?option=value&option=value&...

In the route below we use the direct component to link the two routes together:

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:

   <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>
