And if I recall Camel uses the Injector to create the non static classes, that esentially is Spring. But if it does the full monty applying post construct annotations and stuff I can be in doubt. But we could add a test in camel-spring that has a custom type converter with Spring @Resource annotations and see if we can get it working out of the box. Feel free to work with it a bit and get back with findings. Then we can see what the gap is and maybe add/fix it and improve the documentation. All the camel related type converters do not use Spring @annotations hence we havent been in need of it. > > > ----- Original message ----- > From: "Claus Ibsen" <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2009 12:04:27 +0200 > Subject: Re: Type converters with Spring > > Hi > > Or pass in Exchange as the 2nd parameter. > Using Exchange you can get hold on the CamelContext and thus the > registry as well, and do lookup for Spring beans. > > > > On Tue, Mar 31, 2009 at 12:01 PM, James Strachan > <[email protected]> wrote: >> 2009/3/31 Martin Gilday <[email protected]>: >>> I'd like to have a converter which uses a Spring @service to do lookups. >>> According to the docs "If a converter requires configuration you can >>> plug in an Injector interface to the DefaultTypeConverter which can >>> construct and inject converter objects via Spring or Guice." >>> >>> I'm unsure what it means by working with the DefaultTypeConverter.
