Since we're on a major migration process of this website, some component documents here are out of sync right now. In the meantime you may want to look at the early version of the new website
https://camel.apache.org/staging/
We would very much like to receive any feedback on the new site, please join the discussion on the Camel user mailing list.
How does Camel look up beans, components or endpoints?There are many times using Camel that a name is used for a bean such as using the Bean endpoint or using the Bean Language to create a Expression or Predicate or referring to any Component or Endpoint. Camel uses the Registry to resolve names when looking up beans or components or endpoints. Typically this will be Spring; though you can use Camel without Spring in which case it will use the JNDI registry implementation. Lots of test cases in the camel-core module don't use Spring (as camel-core explicitly doesn't depend on spring) - though test cases in camel-spring do. So you can just define beans, components or endpoints in your Registry implementation then you can refer to them by name in the Endpoint URIs or Bean endpoints or Bean Language expressions. |
