"Mark Invalid" error when reading values from application.properties file


I am learning to use Apache Camel with Spring boot. There is an demo I am working on where I am picking up a file from an FTP location and dropping it to a different location.

The route works when I am using the ftps uri directly in the from() method. However when I am trying to store the ftps location in the application.properties file and access it from there, I am getting a Mark Invalid error.

This works:

@Override
    public void configure() throws Exception {
        fromFile();
    }
    public void fromFTP() {
        from("ftps:username@localhost/pickup?password=xxxx&delete=true")
            .to("file:E:/output");
    }

This doesnt:

application.properties file

ftps.pickup.location=ftps:username@localhost/pickup?password=xxxx

Camel Route

  @Override
        public void configure() throws Exception {
            fromFile();
        }
        public void fromFTP() {
            from("{{ftps.pickup.location}}&delete=true")
                .to("file:E:/output");
        }

This is the error I am getting:

Can anyone point out where I am going wrong? Thanks in advance!


Solution

  • It's a problem with Maven filtering. There's a bug in org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:2.7:resources. The error you get is down to the application.properties file being created, not the change in your routebuilder.

    The parent 1.5.17.RELEASE of springboot pom brings in maven-resources-plugin 2.7. It has the following to apply filtering to resource files

        <!-- Turn on filtering by default for application properties -->
        <resources>
            <resource>
                <directory>${basedir}/src/main/resources</directory>
                <filtering>true</filtering>
                <includes>
                    <include>**/application*.yml</include>
                    <include>**/application*.yaml</include>
                    <include>**/application*.properties</include>
                </includes>
            </resource>
            <resource>
                <directory>${basedir}/src/main/resources</directory>
                <excludes>
                    <exclude>**/application*.yml</exclude>
                    <exclude>**/application*.yaml</exclude>
                    <exclude>**/application*.properties</exclude>
                </excludes>
            </resource>
        </resources>
    

    Use a version of springboot parent with a version of maven-resources-plugin other than 2.7.

    e.g.

    <parent>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
        <version>2.0.0.RELEASE</version>
        <relativePath /> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
    </parent>
