Hi,
I had the same problem and the solution is easy. Just create a class
that implements PackageScanClassResolver and define it as bean [1].
Camel will find it during startup of the context and use this bean
instead of creating the DefaultPackageScanClassResolver that scans the
classpath. Maybe you have to register some core TypeConverters manually
(this has been changed in 2.8-SNAPSHOT).
See my sample class below. Hope this helps.
Cheers Andi
/**

public class DoNothingPackageScanClassResolver implements
PackageScanClassResolver {

Subject: TypeConverterLoaderException in webstart
We've come across a problem in Camel 2.7.1 where Camel fails to start up
due to a TypeConverterLoaderException. This is a regression, as we've
had no such problem in Camel 2.5.0. Is this a known issue? Googling
around, I've found [1], which states:
> My second problem is that it's currently not possible to start camel
> without the AnnotationTypeConverterLoader added. In case of a
webstart
> based client application this causes startup errors that prevents
using
> camel.
> I added an attribute to suppress the usage of
> AnnotationTypeConverterLoader in my local sources and I've prepared a

case.

I can't say that I understand his description of the problem or his
fix. Has a jira issue been created?
My reproduction is simple:
public static void main(String... args) {
try {
CamelContext context = new DefaultCamelContext();
context.getTypeConverterRegistry();
LOGGER.info("Success");
}
catch(Exception e) {
LOGGER.error("Failed", e);
}
}
This runs fine in my ide and fails with [2] when deployed via webstart.
Thanks,
Jim
