A Routelet is a specific component that replaces Route component groups. It factorizes recurrent processing or complex transformation steps to ease the reading of a complex Route. Routelets can be reused in different Routes or several times in the same Route.

At runtime, the Routelet code is integrated into the Route code itself. No separate code is generated, the same Java class being used.

This way, the Routelet use does not have any drawbacks on the performance side. The execution time is unchanged whether your Route includes a Routelet or the whole subroute directly.

Moreover if you intend to log and monitor the whole Route statistics and execution error or warnings, the Routelets included in your Route will be monitored without requiring further log component (such as cLog).

A Routelet is easily identified as it is enclosed in a dotted square on a green background.

This specific component can be used like any other usual component within a standard Route. For more information on how to design a Route, see Getting started with a basic Route.
