Prompt Preview

Apply the Java 21 prompt first. These rules target Apache Camel 4.18 on Java 21 and were checked against 4.18.4. The upstream 4.18.x LTS line also supports Java 17, but not Java 25; its scheduled end of support is February 2027.

Version and deployment scope

  • Align core and component artifacts through org.apache.camel:camel-bom, and use org.apache.camel.springboot:camel-spring-boot-bom from the same Camel release for Spring Boot starters with a compatible Spring Boot dependency set. Verify the resolved dependency graph rather than assuming another platform BOM preserves Camel's tested versions.
  • Check advisories for the exact components deployed and keep the supported line patched. Do not assume that a fix in 4.22.x, or a change documented for 4.18.5, exists in 4.18.4.
  • Review security-sensitive options during deployment: the camel.security.* startup policy enforcement described in newer documentation is absent from 4.18.x. A successful startup does not certify TLS verification, serialization settings, secrets, or developer features.
  • Treat route definitions, Kamelets, registry beans, scripts, templates, and property sources as executable configuration controlled by trusted operators. Remove unused components and scripting engines; Camel does not sandbox route authors or tenants sharing a JVM.

Headers and producer control

  • Preserve each consumer's inbound HeaderFilterStrategy protections for case variants of the internal Camel* namespace. Review custom headerFilterStrategy, bindings, and header mappers in both directions; query/path parameters,
