Description

When you have many routes, it would be nice to use other Spring XML files to define routes and have a <camelContext/> being able to refer to those routes.

<camelContext>
   <route ref="myCommonRoute"/>
   <route ref="myCoolRoute"/>
</camelContext>

Maybe the <route ref/> cannot easily be used as its a real route tag. So we may have to use another tag name such as routeRef or something.
