15.2. Camel Bean Integration

Camel annotations

As part of the Camel bean integration, Camel comes with a set of annotations that are seamlessly supported by Camel CDI. So you can use any of these annotations in your CDI beans, for example:

Camel annotation CDI equivalent
Configuration property 
@PropertyInject("key")
String value;

If using DeltaSpike configuration mechanism: 
@Inject
@ConfigProperty(name = "key")
String value;

See configuration properties for more details.
Producer template injection (default Camel context) 
@Produce(uri = "mock:outbound")
ProducerTemplate producer;
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap 
@Inject
@Uri("direct:outbound")
ProducerTemplate producer;

Endpoint injection (default Camel context) 
@EndpointInject(uri = "direct:inbound")
Endpoint endpoint;
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap 
@Inject
@Uri("direct:inbound")
Endpoint endpoint;
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
Endpoint injection (Camel context by name) 
@EndpointInject(uri = "direct:inbound", context = "foo")
Endpoint contextEndpoint;
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap 
@Inject
@ContextName("foo")
@Uri("direct:inbound")
Endpoint contextEndpoint;

Bean injection (by type) 
@BeanInject
MyBean bean;
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap 
@Inject
MyBean bean;
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
Bean injection (by name) 
@BeanInject("foo")
MyBean bean;
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap 
@Inject
@Named("foo")
MyBean bean;
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
POJO consuming 
@Consume(uri = "seda:inbound")
void consume(@Body String body) {
    //...
}

Bean component

You can refer to CDI beans, either by type or name, From the Camel DSL, for example with the Java Camel DSL: 
class MyBean {
	//...
}
 
from("direct:inbound").bean(MyBean.class);
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
Or to lookup a CDI bean by name from the Java DSL: 
@Named("foo")
class MyNamedBean {
	//...
}
 
from("direct:inbound").bean("foo");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Referring beans from Endpoint URIs
Copy link

When configuring endpoints using the URI syntax you can refer to beans in the Registry using the # notation. If the URI parameter value starts with a # sign then Camel CDI will lookup for a bean of the given type by name, for example: 
from("jms:queue:{{destination}}?transacted=true&transactionManager=#jtaTransactionManager").to("...");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
Having the following CDI bean qualified with @Named("jtaTransactionManager"): 
@Produces
@Named("jtaTransactionManager")
PlatformTransactionManager createTransactionManager(TransactionManager transactionManager, UserTransaction userTransaction) {
    JtaTransactionManager jtaTransactionManager = new JtaTransactionManager();
    jtaTransactionManager.setUserTransaction(userTransaction);
    jtaTransactionManager.setTransactionManager(transactionManager);
    jtaTransactionManager.afterPropertiesSet();
    return jtaTransactionManager;
}
