Description

I can see folks wanting to also use CDI with the XML DSL for Camel route definitions (e.g. so they can use round tripping visual editors rather than using the Java DSL, but use CDI for all dependency injection to minimise XML use for configuration).

Maybe we could have some simple way to import routes into a CDI @Produces method using some helper class; so the routes can then be injected via CDI into a CamelContext?

public class MyConfiguration {
  // loads some routes for injection into the CamelContext
  @Produces
  List<RouteDefinitions>  loadRoutes() {
     return XmlRouteLoader.loadFromClassPath("com/acme/something/blah.xml");
  }
}

or maybe we should allow routes to be injected so that they could be used to create a CamelContext...

public class MyConfiguration {
  @Inject @RouteXml(classpath="com/acme/something/blah.xml")
  List<RouteDefinitions> routes;

  @Produces
  CamelContext  createContext() {
     return new CdiCamelContext(routes);
  }
}
