Camel Spring DSL is not working as expected

Question

Tried to create a very simple route to read from a FTP location using Java as well as Spring DSLs.

The route created with Java DSL is working as expected.

from("{{ftp.server}}").to("file:target/download").log(
            "Downloaded file ${file:name} complete.");

Options:

ftp://x.x.x.x:21/in?username=kallada&password=kallada&passiveMode=false&localWorkDirectory=/tmp&delay=5s&move=done

But the route created with Spring DSL is just exiting just after logging in to the FTP server.

<route id="ftpSend">
    <from uri="ftp://kallada@x.x.x.x:21/in?password=kallada&amp;passiveMode=false&amp;binary=true&amp;delay=6000&amp;localWorkDirectory=/tmp"/> 
    <to uri="file://target/download"/> 
</route>

I'm using a locally installed FTP server (FileZilla) to test this application. Afs ter invoking the route created with the Spring DSL the program is just exiting. Please see the console log attached.

Beyond this point the program just exits.

Please see the FTP server console log also.

Any pointers to solve this issue would be helpful.

I think your main just exit after starting the camel context. Please check out this for Running Camel standalone and keeping it running.
