Christopher, Claus has got you covered ;) There is an EventNotification mechanism that you can use. Add the following to your routes configure
public class InvokedOnStartupRoute extends RouteBuilder { @Override public void configure() throws Exception { final CamelContext context = getContext(); context.getManagementStrategy().setEventNotifier(new EventNotifier() { public void notify(EventObject event) throws Exception { if(event instanceof CamelContextStartedEvent) { ProducerTemplate template = context.createProducerTemplate(); template.sendBody("direct:invokedOnStartup", "Started"); } } public boolean isEnabled(EventObject event) { return true; } }); from("direct:invokedOnStartup").to("mock:invokedOnStartup"); } } It might be nice also if there were a method in the LifecycleStrategy interface, onInitializationComplete or the like, that fit a similar purpose. I'll let Claus comment on that. rgds, ste On Mon, Dec 28, 2009 at 6:06 PM, huntc <hu...@mac.com> wrote: > > Hi Stephen, > > Thanks for your response. > > I do understand the use of the direct component, but thanks for the > explanation any how. > > I guess using the Spring Events mechanism will get me there, but it'd be > nice to codify the solution in a way that remains agnostic of being invoked > from Spring. > > I'm thinking that it'd be useful to raise a JIRA so that RouteBuilder gets > the opportunity of kicking things off once the context is ready.
