h2. Class Component

...


*Available as of Camel 2.4

...

*

The *class:* component binds beans to Camel message exchanges. It works in the same way as the [Bean] component but instead of looking up beans from a [Registry] it creates the bean based on the class name.

...



h3. URI format

...



{code
}
class:className[?options]
{code}
Where *className* is the fully qualified class name to create and use as bean.

...

multiParameterArray

false

How to treat the parameters which are passed from the message body; if it is true, the In message body should be an array of parameters.

You can append query options to the URI in the following format, {{?option=value&option=value&...

Using

You simply use the class component just as the Bean component but by specifying the fully qualified classname instead.
For example to use the MyFooBean you have to do as follows:

Code Block
}}

h3. Using

You simply use the *class* component just as the [Bean] component but by specifying the fully qualified classname instead.
For example to use the {{MyFooBean}} you have to do as follows:
{code}
    from("direct:start").to("class:org.apache.camel.component.bean.MyFooBean").to("mock:result");
{code}

You can also specify which method to invoke on the {{MyFooBean}}, for example {{hello}}:

...


{code
}
    from("direct:start").to("class:org.apache.camel.component.bean.MyFooBean?method=hello").to("mock:result");

Setting properties on the created instance

In the endpoint uri you can specify properties to set on the created instance, for example if it has a setPrefix method:

Code Block
{code}

h2. Setting properties on the created instance

In the endpoint uri you can specify properties to set on the created instance, for example if it has a {{setPrefix}} method:
{code}
    from("direct:start")
        .to("class:org.apache.camel.component.bean.MyPrefixBean?prefix=Bye")
        .to("mock:result");
{code}

And you can also use the {{#}} syntax to refer to properties to be looked up in the [Registry].

...


{code
}
    from("direct:start")
        .to("class:org.apache.camel.component.bean.MyPrefixBean?cool=#foo")
        .to("mock:result");
{code}
Which will lookup a bean from the [Registry] with the id {{foo}} and invoke the {{setCool}} method on the created instance of the {{MyPrefixBean}} class.
