Since we're on a major migration process of this website, some component documents here are out of sync right now. In the meantime you may want to look at the early version of the new website

We would very much like to receive any feedback on the new site, please join the discussion on the Camel user mailing list.
How do I specify time period in a human friendly syntaxAvailable as of Camel 2.3 Some of the Camel components offers options to specify a time period, which must be entered in milli second as unit. This may be unfriendly to read as a human when the value is large such as 45min = 2700000 millis. So in Camel 2.3 you can now configure any endpoint uri parameter using a String syntax, which at runtime will get converted to millis (long type). You can use the following short syntax, which is most common to use:
So for example the Timer endpoint can be configured as follows
from("timer:foo?period=45m").to("log:foo");
You can mix and match the units so you can do this as well:
from("timer:foo?period=1h15m").to("log:foo");
from("timer:bar?period=2h30s").to("log:bar");
from("timer:bar?period=3h45m58s").to("log:bar");
However you can also use long syntax
from("timer:foo?period=45minutes").to("log:foo");
