Introduction In a previous blog post, we have seen how Camel could be used to transform raw unstructured text into structured Java objects. The shown example actually uses the LangChain4j high level API where a Java interface will handle the interactions needed with the underlying Large Language Model. However, at this time, a Quarkus LangChain4j issue prevented the usage of the Camel parameter binding annotations. This issue will be fixed in the next Camel Quarkus release, so let’s see how it will work.
This blog post introduces a Camel Upgrade Recipes project and shows an example of its usage. Introduction Migrating Apache Camel code can often be a tedious and error-prone process, especially when it involves repetitive tasks like renaming classes, updating method signatures, or adapting to new Camel API changes. To address this need, Camel Upgrade Recipes project based on OpenRewrite was developed. The project is not designed to provide fully automated migration but rather to assist with manual migrations, making them more efficient and less error-prone.
