Definitely not. Basically all the discover-by-package code does is use the classloaders to get the Package and iterate through them looking for RouteBuilder. The only use of a META-INF/spring/camel-context.xml is if you're using Spring-OSGi - or you're using the camel:run maven plugin... http://activemq.apache.org/camel/camel-maven-plugin.html > Now, the really bizarre bit is that I took the camel-context.xml out again > (to prove it really was the thing that mattered) and it still worked! > > So, I now have a jar which contains a RouteBuilder and the RouteBuilder is > loaded and configured as it should be.

Whoah thats really bizarre! I'm at a bit of a loss to understand this. Just to double check I understand whats going on - you're just using a binary ActiveMQ 5.x distro - and popping your jar in activemq/lib and having this grief right? And you're running ActiveMQ using bin/activemq? (or java -jar run.jar). Both are the same - and run this class... https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/activemq/trunk/activemq-console/src/main/java/org/apache/activemq/console/Main.java which doesn't seem to have any kinda wacky code in it that I can see - it just basically adds the URLs of all the files it finds to the ClassLoader. I wonder if rather than using the bin/activemq or run.jar, using some kinda shell script to set the classpath works? -- James ------- http://macstrac.blogspot.com/
