From Camel 2.16 onwards you type converter classes can implement org.apache.camel.TypeConverters which is an marker interface. Then for each type converter you want use the @Converter annotation.

private class MyOrderTypeConverters implements TypeConverters {
 
    @Converter
    public MyOrder toMyOrder(String orderId) {
        MyOrder order = new MyOrder();
        order.setId(Integer.parseInt(orderId));
        return order;
    }
}

Then you can add these converters to the registry using

MyClassWithConvertersMyOrderTypeConverters myClass = ...
context.getTypeConverterRegistry().addTypeConverters(myClass);

If you are using Spring or Blueprint, then you can just declare a <bean> then CamelContext will automatic discover and add the converters.

<bean id="myConvertersmyOrderTypeConverters" class="..."/>
 
<camelContext ...>
   ...
</camelContext>
