Apache Camel : “direct:start” endpoint - what does it mean ?

Question

I\'m new to Apache Camel. Can someone explain what \"direct:start\" means in Camel. Please see

http://camel.apache.org/http

from(\"direct:start\")
.to(         


        

Answer 1

direct:start provides synchronous ways to communicate between 2 endpoints and this is only been used if you want to communicate using camel messages and not generic file or xml messages.
