camel-spring-boot jar comes with the spring.factories file, so as soon as you add that dependency into your classpath, Spring Boot will automatically auto-configure the Camel for you.

Auto-configured Camel context

The most important piece of functionality provided by the Camel auto-configuration is CamelContext instance. Camel auto-configuration creates SpringCamelContext for your and take care of the proper initialization and shutdown of that context. Created Camel context is also registered in the Spring application context (under camelContext bean name), so you can access it just as the any other Spring bean.

...

@Configuration
public class MyRouterConfiguration {

  @Bean
  RoutesBuilder myRouter() {
    return new RouteBuilder() {


      @Override
      public void configure() throws Exception {
        from("jms:invoices").to("file:/invoices");
      }

  };
}

Custom Camel context configuration

If you would like to perform some operations on CamelContext bean created by Camel auto-configuration, register CamelContextConfiguration instance in your Spring context:

@Configuration
public class MyAppConfig {

  ...

  @Bean
  CamelContextConfiguration contextConfiguration() {
    return new CamelContextConfiguration() {
      @Override
      void postConfiguration(CamelContext context) {
        // your custom configuration goes here
      }
    }
  }

}

Disabling JMX

To disable JMX of the auto-configured CamelContext use camel.springboot.jmxEnabled property (JMX is enabled by default). For example you could add the following property to your application.properties file:

camel.springboot.jmxEnabled = false
