Not sure if this is the case in DI jobs as well, but it seems that if you want to override the value of a context variable using Java in a cConfig in a Route, you HAVE to do this:
context.variable1 = "new value";
and that this
context.setProperty("variable1", "new value");
will not work, even though the code compiles and runs.....
I would like to iterate through a separate collection of context variable names and values and set them programmatically, so I can't do this using the context.variable1 = "new value"; approach. I need to be able to pass in name, value pairs...
Is there anyway of overriding context variables in the way I would like to do?
Hi n999
I see you mentioned in another topic that you are able to override the context variable with with the following code
//override context_param value
context_param.setProperty(name, value);
//refresh talend context with context_params
readContextValues(contextStr);
Let me know if you still have any issue on this subject.
I guess my only concern is how supported is this approach -
* using context_param
* calling readContextValues()
- in future versions after 6.4 and beyond?
There is also the option to load up properties from files, into the camel context. And I think accessing the apache context is possible from any component using ether the {{var}} notation or "camelContext.resolvePropertyPlaceholders("{{var}}")?
