class MyRouteBean extends RoutesBuilder {
 
	@Override
    public void configure() {
        from("direct:inbound")
    jms:invoices").to("file:/invoices");
    }
}

Note that you can declare as many RoutesBuilder beans as you want. Besides, RouteContainer beans are also automatically collected, instantiated and added to the CamelContext bean instance managed by Camel CDI when the container initialises.

Custom Camel context customisation

If you just want to change the name of the default CamelContext bean, you can used the @ContextName qualifier provided by Camel CDI, e.g.:

@ContextName("camel-context")
class MyRouteBean extends RoutesBuilder {
 
	@Override
    public void configure() {
        from("jms:invoices").to("file:/invoices");
    }
}

Else, if more customisation is needed, any CamelContext class can be used to declare a custom Camel context bean. Then, the @PostConstruct and @PreDestroy lifecycle callbacks can be done to do the customisation, e.g.:

@ApplicationScoped
class CustomCamelContext extends DefaultCamelContext {

    @PostConstruct
    void customize() {
        // Set the Camel context name
        setName("custom");
        // Disable JMX
        disableJMX();
    }

    @PreDestroy
    void cleanUp() {
        // ...
    }
}

Producer and disposer methods can also be used as well to customize the Camel context bean, e.g.:

class CamelContextFactory {

    @Produces
    @ApplicationScoped
    CamelContext customize() {
        DefaultCamelContext context = new DefaultCamelContext();
        context.setName("custom");
        return context;
    }

    void cleanUp(@Disposes CamelContext context) {
        // ...
    }
}

Similarly, producer fields can be used, e.g.:

@Produces
@ApplicationScoped
CamelContext context = new CustomCamelContext();

class CustomCamelContext extends DefaultCamelContext {

    CustomCamelContext() {
        setName("custom");
    }
}

This pattern can be used for example to avoid having the Camel context routes started automatically when the container initialises by calling the setAutoStartup method, e.g.:

@ApplicationScoped
class ManualStartupCamelContext extends DefaultCamelContext {

    @PostConstruct
    void manual() {
        .to("mock:outbound"setAutoStartup(false);
    }
}
