Spring Java Config

Spring Java Config

Spring started life using XML Config to wire beans together. However some folks don't like using XML and would rather use Java code which led to the creation of Guice along with the Spring JavaConfig project.

You can use either the XML or Java config approachs with Camel; its your choice really on which you prefer.

Using Spring Java Config

To use Spring Java Config in your Camel project the easiest thing to do is add the following to your pom.xml

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-spring-javaconfig</artifactId>
  <version>${camel-version}</version>
</dependency>
