Description

When you use the ref component and you refer to a non existing endpoint, then it silently returns null, causing Camel to fail with a different error saying the ref component cannot be found

Caused by: org.apache.camel.ResolveEndpointFailedException: Failed to resolve endpoint: ref://xxx due to: No component found with scheme: ref

It should use mandatoryLookup, and those methods should throw NoSuchBeanException instead of IllegalArgumentException as they currently does. Then the failure message is much more precise.
