I found the old implementation of EndpointResolver a bit smelly; so
I've tried to clean it up to make it easier for folks to write new
components.
The basic idea is
* folks should generally only need to write a Component & Endpoint
implementation; no other classes needed other than maybe
Producer/Consumer
* components can create new endpoints via the resolveEndpoint(uri)
method; the can just derive from DefaultComponent and get most of the
URI magic for free; just overloading the actual factory method to
create an Endpoint
* adding a file in
META-INF/services/org/apache/came/component/${scheme} can plugin
auto-discovered components
* users can explicitly instantiate, configure & register components to
the CamelContext; or via the Injector the CamelContext can auto-inject
them with their required dependencies. (e.g. folks could have a single
DataSource or ConnectionFactory in a spring context which could be
auto-injected etc)
I've written a little bit of documentation for component developers here...
http://cwiki.apache.org/CAMEL/writing-components.html
I've just committed the above changes. Thoughts?
