Usage rule

cMock can be a start, middle or end component in a Route.

Limitation

The cMock component is designed for testing Routes. It is not recommended to use the cMock in message routing. When you add cMock to a Route, each exchange sent to it will be stored (to allow for later validation) in memory until explicitly reset or the JVM is restarted. If you are sending high volume and/or large messages, this may cause excessive memory use. For more information about how to test Routes, see Testing Routes using test cases.
