Table 33. Delay Properties

NameDescription
LanguageSpecifies the expression language used to process the expression.
Async DelayedSpecifies whether processing tasks will be scheduled for processing at a later time. The default is Disabled.
Caller Runs When RejectedSpecifies whether tasks rejected by the thread pool are executed by the calling thread. The default is Disabled.
DescriptionSpecifies a text description for the node. This description is included in the generated XML file, but it is informational only. It is not used by Apache Camel.
Executor Service RefSpecifies a reference for looking up the executorService to use for thread pool management.
Id

Specifies a unique identifier for the endpoint.

The tooling automatically generates an id for a node when it is created, but you can remove that id or replace it with your own. The Camel debugger requires all nodes with a breakpoint set to have a unique id.

You can use the id to refer to endpoints in your Camel XML file.
