How can i specify timout in apache camel route

I have an apache camel route i want to specify timeout for that route if that route does not get completed in that timeout need to raise timeout exception.
eq:
<route id="id">
<from uri="xyz"/>
//does some calculation call some other routes.
</route>

You may use Camel async API to implement what you want. Take a look at similar question (and solution) here.

Using controlBus from spring DSL with parameters

I need to control my routes and I am using spring DSL for Camel.
I need to exposed a service which will perform thoses actions to the routeId given in paramaters.
The following code does not work (the body contain the routeId)
<route id="stopRoute">
<from uri="direct:stopRoute"/>
<log message="about to stop a route"/>
<to uri="controlbus:route?routeId=${body}&action=stop"/>
<to uri="controlbus:route?routeId=${body}&action=status"/>
</route>
I also tried with simple language but I can't figure out the correct syntax

See this FAQ
http://camel.apache.org/how-to-use-a-dynamic-uri-in-to.html
Use <toD> to make the to dynamic.

REST EndPoint for Apache Camel

I'm trying to create en REST endpoint with Apache Camel. I already have a REST service that return me JSON content and I want this endpoint to get it. My problem is that I don't know what's happening when my Camel route is built.. For the moment, it doesn't do anything. Here is my code :
restConfiguration().component("servlet")
.bindingMode(RestBindingMode.json)
.dataFormatProperty("prettyPrint", "true").host("localhost")
.port(9080);
rest("/ContextServices/rest/contextServices/document")
.consumes("application/json").produces("application/json")
.get("/testContext/557064c8f7f71f29cea0e657").outTypeList(String.class)
.to("bean:processor?method=affiche")
.to(dest.getRouteTo());
I'm running my REST service on a local Tomcat on port 9080, my full URL is
/ContextServices/rest/contextServices/document/{collection}/{id}.
I've tried to read the documentation but there is two syntax and both don't work:
from("rest:get:hello:/french/{me}").transform().simple("Bonjour ${header.me}");
or
rest("/say")
.get("/hello").to("direct:hello")
.get("/bye").consumes("application/json").to("direct:bye")
.post("/bye").to("mock:update");
The first is Java DSL, the second is REST DSL, what's the difference ?
Thanks a lot !

First of all, REST component itself is not a REST implementation.
It just declares language to describe REST endpoints.
You should use actual implementation of REST, something like Restlet (see the full list here)
I can be wrong, but AFAIR, REST endpoint is only for the case when you want to listen for REST requests from another application.
What you need is to make request to REST endpoint and process it.
The question is: when do you want to trigger request?
Is it some event, or may be you want to check external REST service periodically?
For the latter case I use the following pattern:
<route>
<from uri="timer:polling-rest?period=60000"/>
<setHeader headerName="CamelHttpMethod">
<constant>GET</constant>
</setHeader>
<recipientList>
<simple>http://${properties:service.url}/api/outbound-messages/all</simple>
</recipientList>
<unmarshal ref="message-format"/>
<!-- do something with the message, transform it, log,
send to another services, etc -->
<setHeader headerName="CamelHttpMethod">
<constant>DELETE</constant>
</setHeader>
<recipientList>
<simple>http://${properties:service.url}/api/outbound-messages/by-id/${header.id}</simple>
</recipientList>
</route>
Sorry for the example with http component instead of REST.
I simply copy-pasted it from my working project, which uses pure http.
I suppose, rewriting this via something like Restlet or CXF component.

camel generic producer (to be routed via spring xml config)

I want to send a generic message from from java, that is then routed by camel. So far the messages always went to an activemq topic (Example 1) but in future I want to be able to change the route (i.e. sending the message to a rest webservice instead) without modifing the source code (via spring xml configuration). So I expect to do ~something like~ Example 2. How would I do this?
Example 1: (how it's done so far)
#EndpointInject(uri="activemq:topic:IMPORTANTEVENTS")
ProducerTemplate producer;
producer.sendBody("Hello world!");
Example 2: (how it is supposed to look like - more or less)
#EndpointINject(uri="myevents")
... (as above)
XML config:
<route id="SysoutRoute">
<from uri="myevents"/>
<to uri="activemq:topic:IMPORTANTEVENTSS"/>
</route>

You can use property placeholders: http://camel.apache.org/using-propertyplaceholder.html - then the java source code do not need to be changed, but the uri is defined in a .properties file which you can then easily change

Ok got it working. It es actually quite easy by using direct: component(http://camel.apache.org/direct.html)
#EndpointInject(uri="direct:outMessage")
ProducerTemplate producer;
Now I can send messages:
producer.sendBody("Hello world!");
And route them via Spring xml config e.g. like this:
<route id="outMessage">
<from uri="direct:outMessage"/>
<to uri="stream:out"/>
<to uri="activemq:topic:IMPORTANTEVENTS"/>
<to uri="restlet:http://localhost:8888/status/?restletMethod=post"/>
</route>

What is the from uri= when you are defining the Camel route in xml?

I have several services that I would like to add Camel routes. The examples in xml I see are like so:
<route id="myId"
from uri="direct:inside"/>
to uri="mock:inside"/>
</route>
Where can I find the acceptable values for the string after "from uri="?
Also if I'm in ServiceA that seems like what I should put in the from uri. How do I do that?

All the Camel components have documentation which options they support. For example the direct component, has only 1 option listed
http://camel.apache.org/direct
You can see a list of all the components here:
