I don't suppose you use OSGi? If you do, you can export each route as
an OSGi service assigning your own service properties.
Another possibility is to maintain an application-wide singleton
mimicking a route directory, where you keep a map of route ids and
route properties. Your route builder would publish all constructed
routes to this directory, assigning the relevant properties.
Your GC algorithm would then look into this directory to decide which
ones to prune.
Does that help?
