Maven users will need to add a camel-quartz dependency to their pom.xml to avail this capability.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-quartz</artifactId>
    <version>x.x.x</version>
    <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>

...

<bean id="myStartPolicy" class="org.apache.camel.routepolicy.quartz2.CronScheduledRoutePolicy">
  <!-- start every 5min from monday to saturday -->
  <property name="routeStartTime" value="0 0/5 * ? * 1-6 *" />
</bean>

How it works

In order to use a CronScheduledRoutePolicy it is necessary to instantiate an object of the type org.apache.camel.routepolicy.quartz.CronScheduledRoutePolicy.

In order to perform a route operation at a given time the following information must be provided.

• Starting a route

  Parameter Name	Type	Default Value	Description
  routeStartTime	String		the initial scheduled Date and time as a Cron Expression for route start

• Stopping a route

  routeStopTime	String		the initial scheduled Date and time as a Cron Expression for route stop
  routeStopGracePeriod	int	10 seconds	the time period to wait before initiating graceful route stop
  routeStopTimeUnit	long	TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS	the time unit for the grace period expressed as java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit

• Suspending a route

  routeSuspendTime	String		the initial scheduled Date and time as a Cron Expression for route suspension

• Resuming a route

  Parameter Name	Type	Default Value	Description

• Using Spring

<bean id="startPolicy" class="org.apache.camel.routepolicy.quartz.CronScheduledRoutePolicy">
    <property name="routeStartTime" value="*/3 * * * * ?"/>
</bean>
    
<camelContext xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring">
    <route id="testRoute" routePolicyRef="startPolicy" autoStartup="false">
        <from uri="direct:start"/>
        <to uri="mock:success"/>
    </route>
</camelContext>
