Most patterns require some explicit configuration. For example, an endpoint requires an explicitly entered URI.
The tooling's Properties editor provides a form that lists all of the configuration details a particular pattern supports. The Properties editor also provides the following convenience features:
validating that all required properties have values
validating that supplied values are the correct data type for the property
drop-down lists for properties that have a fixed set of values
drop-down lists that are populated with the available bean references from the Apache Camel Spring configuration
To configure a pattern:
On the canvas, select the node you want to configure.
The Properties editor lists all of the selected node's properties for you to edit. For EIPs, the Details tab lists all of a pattern's properties. For components from the Components drawer, the Details tab lists the general properties and those that require a value, and the Advanced tab lists additional properties grouped according to function.
The Documentation tab describes the pattern and each of its properties.
Edit the fields in the Properties editor to configure the node.
When done, save your work by selecting > from the menu bar.
