Description

The below code results in creation of a new bean of type MyBean rather than looking up an existing instance from the registry. Also there is an imposition that MyBean has a no-args ctor for camel to construct a new bean. This behaviour is very confusing when an existing bean can be found from the registry such as spring which can use ctor injection without having the need for a default ctor 

 

public void configure() throws Exception

{ from("direct:a").transform().method(MyBean.class).to("mock:a"); from("direct:b").transform().method(MyBean.class).to("mock:b"); }

};
