64.3. Usage
Copy link

CDI producer methods can be harnessed to bind endpoints to the Camel registry, so that they can be resolved using the ref URI scheme in Camel routes.

For example, to produce endpoint beans: 

@ApplicationScoped
public class MyEndpointProducers {
    @Inject
    CamelContext context;

    @Singleton
    @Produces
    @Named("endpoint1")
    public Endpoint directStart() {
        return context.getEndpoint("direct:start");
    }

    @Singleton
    @Produces
    @Named("endpoint2")
    public Endpoint logEnd() {
        return context.getEndpoint("log:end");
    }
}

Use ref: to refer to the names of the CDI beans that were bound to the Camel registry: 

public class MyRefRoutes extends RouteBuilder {
    @Override
    public void configure() {
        // direct:start -> log:end
        from("ref:endpoint1")
            .to("ref:endpoint2");
    }
}
