Pattern - Rename to something else #7

Closed davsclaus closed 6 years ago

The pattern in the connector json file is a bit confusing name https://github.com/redhat-ipaas/connectors/blob/master/connectors/timer-connector/src/main/resources/camel-connector.json#L14

It has the values: From, To or Both It denotes whether you can use it as input or output in an integration flow, or both.

It name is inspired from MEP (aka Message Exchange Pattern in Apache Camel.

We can try to come up with a different name or change it to two options

input: true|false
output: true|false

If input or output is better understood?

The EIP / Camel terms with Consumer and Producer is maybe also a bit confusing from ipaas pov?

consumer: true|false
producer: true|false

I think since time has passed we are stuck with this name
