The Camel CDI component provides auto-configuration for Apache Camel using CDI as dependency injection framework based on the convention-over-configuration principle. It auto-detects Camel routes available in the application and provides beans for common Camel primitives like Endpoint, ProducerTemplate or TypeConverter. It implements standard Camel bean integration so that Camel annotations like @Consume, @Produce and @PropertyInject can be used seamlessly in CDI beans. Besides, it bridges Camel events (e.g. RouteAddedEvent, CamelContextStartedEvent or ExchangeCompletedEvent) as CDI events and provides a CDI events endpoint that can be used to consume / produce CDI events from / to Camel routes.

...

Similarly, the @Default qualifier can be used to observe Camel events for the default Camel context if multiples contexts exist, e.g.:

void onExchangeCompleted(@Observes @Default ExchangeCompletedEvent event) {
    // Called after the exchange 'event.getExchange()' processing has completed
}

Note that the support for Camel events translation into CDI events is only activated if observer methods listening for Camel events are detected in the deployment, and that per Camel context.

Auto-configured type converters

CDI beans annotated with the @Converter annotation are automatically registered into the deployed Camel contexts, e.g.:

@Converter
public class MyTypeConverter {

    @Converter
    public Output convert(Input input) {
        //...
    }
}

Note that CDI injection is supported within the type converters.
