Donald Whytock commented on CAMEL-4147: --------------------------------------- A few issues I've experienced with this: - OsgiDefaultCamelContext.start() should be sensitive to whether the services it depends on are active. This seems to be at least one instance of TypeConverter service. - Similarly, it would be nice if routes were sensitive to whether the components they need are active. This is reflected by instances of ComponentResolver services. - Named CamelContext-providing service instances, as suggested in the description, would be a good way to provide CamelContext singletons across bundles. > Add support for lightweight OSGi deployment (without Spring, Blueprint, ...) > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CAMEL-4147 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-4147 > Project: Camel > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 2.7.2 > Reporter: Gert Vanthienen > Fix For: 2.9.0 > > > We should be able to deploy Camel in a plain OSGi container without requiring > Spring-DM or Blueprint to bootstrap the routes, cfr. > http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Camel-under-OSGi-without-Spring-et-al-td4507473.html > A possible solution: add a ServiceTracker for RouteBuilder instances in the > OSGi Service Registry and automatically create and start a CamelContext for > any RouteBuilder instance it discovers. > We should add a few optional properties that can be passed in when > registering the service: > * a CamelContext name, so the tracker can add multiple RouteBuilders to the > same CamelContext > * a property to disable automatically starting the context -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
