Hi Claus et al,

I'd like to use a prototype bean in a route such that a new instance gets
created at the beginning of the route, and that same instance is used
throughout the route until the route ends.

Included below are two simple routes and a fragment of a service bean class
that collects parts from various responses with external services.

[This was somewhat addressed here:
http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Bean-s-scope-in-Camel-td5737137.html
before, but not as fully as here.]

Questions:
 -Is this a legitimate way of keeping state in routes with a service bean,
or should I be using something else for this use case?
 -Are ROUTE1 and ROUTE2 completely equivalent?  [If not, why?]
 -How can I make the same bean instance transfer to ROUTE3?
 -When will the prototype instance of myAwesomeBean terminate?

Your help is much appreciated!

Rick
