Lazy Injection / Programmatic Lookup

Available as of Camel 2.17

While the CDI programmatic model favors a typesafe resolutionmechanism that occurs at application initialization time, it is possible to perform dynamic / lazy injection later during the application execution using the programmatic lookup mechanism.

Camel CDI provides for convenience the annotation literals corresponding to the CDI qualifiers that you can use for standard injection of Camel primitives. These annotation literals can be used in conjunction with thejavax.enterprise.inject.Instance interface which is the CDI entry point to perform lazy injection / programmatic lookup.

For example, you can use the provided annotation literal for the @Uriqualifier to lazily lookup for Camel primitives, e.g. for ProducerTemplatebeans:

@Any
@Inject
Instance<ProducerTemplate> producers;
 
ProducerTemplate inbound = producers
    .select(Uri.Literal.of("direct:inbound"))
    .get();

@Any
@Inject
Instance<Endpoint> endpoints;
 
MockEndpoint outbound = endpoints
    .select(MockEndpoint.class, Uri.Literal.of("mock:outbound"))
    .get();

@Any
@Inject
Instance<CamelContext> contexts;
 
CamelContext context = contexts
    .select(ContextName.Literal.of("foo"))
    .get();

@Any
@Inject
Instance<CamelContext> contexts;
 
// Refine the selection by type 
Instance<DefaultCamelContext> context = contexts.select(DefaultCamelContext.class);
 
// Check if such a bean exists then retrieve a reference 
if (!context.isUnsatisfied())
    context.get();

@Any
@Inject
Instance<CamelContext> contexts;
 
for (CamelContext context : contexts)
    context.setUseBreadcrumb(true);

Maven Archetype

Among the available Camel Maven archetypes, you can use the provided camel-archetype-cdi to generate a Camel CDI Maven project, e.g.:
