Allow type converters to be specified as Spring beans
-----------------------------------------------------
Key: CAMEL-4704
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-4704
Project: Camel
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: camel-core
Affects Versions: 2.8.2
Reporter: Daniel Gredler
Priority: Minor
There are many Camel configuration elements that are auto-discovered when they
are configured as Spring beans (Tracer, InterceptStrategy, EventNotifier,
PlatformTransactionManager, etc):
http://camel.apache.org/advanced-configuration-of-camelcontext-using-spring.html
However, instances of TypeConverter are not auto-discovered based on the Spring
configuration (there is a different auto-discovery mechanism):
http://camel.apache.org/type-converter.html
A related JIRA ticket (requesting custom XML syntax) was marked "won't fix":
CAMEL-1685.
I agree that the extra XML tag is not necessary. However, the omission of
Spring bean auto-discovery seems to violate the principle of least surprise --
as a new Camel user, knowing that Camel auto-discovers Spring beans for other
configuration elements, I was surprised to find that Camel didn't find my
TypeConverter Spring bean.
