How Do I Import Routes From Other XML Files?
Since Camel 2.3
When defining routes in Camel using XML Configuration you may want to define some routes in other XML files. For example you may have many routes and it may help to maintain the application if some of the routes are in separate XML files. You may also want to store common and reusable routes in other XML files, which you can simply import when needed.
In Camel 2.3 it is now possible to define routes outside
<camelContext/>
which you do in a new <routeContext/>

file. And then inside <camelContext/>
you can refer to the <routeContext/>
by its id
as shown below:
Also notice that you can mix and match, having routes inside CamelContext
and also externalized in RouteContext

You can have as many <routeContextRef/>
as you like.
