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.

URI format

Code Block
class:className[?options]

Div

class	confluenceTableSmall

Name	Type	Default	Description
`method`	`String`	`null`	The method name that bean will be invoked. If not provided, Camel will try to pick the method itself. In case of ambiguity an exception is thrown. See Bean Binding for more details.
`multiParameterArray`	`boolean`	`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.
`bean.xxx`		`null`	Camel 2.17: To configure additional options on the create bean instance from the class name. For example to configure a foo option on the bean, use bean.foo=123.

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

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
from("direct:start").to("class:org.apache.camel.component.bean.MyFooBean").to("mock:result");

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

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

...

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

Code Block

   // Camel 2.17 onwards
   from("direct:start")
        .to("class:org.apache.camel.component.bean.MyPrefixBean?bean.prefix=Bye")
        .to("mock:result");
 
   // Camel 2.16 and older 
   from("direct:start")
        .to("class:org.apache.camel.component.bean.MyPrefixBean?prefix=Bye")
        .to("mock:result");

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

Code Block

    // Camel 2.17 onwards
    from("direct:start")
        .to("class:org.apache.camel.component.bean.MyPrefixBean?bean.cool=#foo")
        .to("mock:result");

    // Camel 2.16 and older
    from("direct:start")
        .to("class:org.apache.camel.component.bean.MyPrefixBean?cool=#foo")
        .to("mock:result");

See more details at the Bean component as the class component works in much the same way.
