Create a camel xml file as simple as follows: <?xml version= "1.0" encoding= "UTF-8" ?> <beans xmlns= "http: //www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi= "http: //www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:camel= "http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring" xsi:schemaLocation=" http: //www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd http: //camel.apache.org/schema/spring http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring/camel-spring.xsd"> <camelContext xmlns= "http: //camel.apache.org/schema/spring" > <route> <from uri= "timer: //foo1?fixedRate= true &amp;period=60000" /> <log message= "foo1 fired" /> </route> <route> <from uri= "timer: //foo2?fixedRate= true &amp;period=60000" /> <log message= "foo2 fired" /> </route> </camelContext> </beans> Then select the 'Design' tab; you'll note that only the first route is rendered.
