Hi All,

I have created the routebox component that facilitates encapsulation of routes 
in a context and exposes the context as a single URI based endpoint called 
routebox. 

The Routebox component supports both consumer and producer endpoints. Producer 
endpoints are capable of sending requests to a consumer endpoint or to directly 
invoke routes in a Producer embedded context thereby not requiring a consumer.

For example a consumer endpoint could be created as
                
from("routebox:multipleRoutes?innerRegistry=#registry&routeBuilders=#routes&dispatchMap=#map")
                    .to("log:Routes operation performed?showAll=true");

A producer endpoint could be created as
               from("direct:start")
                    
.to("routebox:multipleRoutes?sendToConsumer=false&innerContext=#ctx&dispatchStrategy=#strategy")
                    
                    .to("log:Routes operation performed?showAll=true");

The sendToConsumer Query parameter specifies whether producer dispatches to an 
inner context or an external Routebox consumer.

Internally the component supports SEDA and Direct protocol based communication.

When a request is sent to the routebox component a user provided 
RouteboxDispatchStrategy or a HashMap containing Dispatch URI information is 
used to direct the data to inner routes in a separate inner context. 

The inner context is fully under the control of the routebox component and is 
JVM bound. 

The inner routes may have consumers which can be any of the available camel 
supported consumer endpoints (ActiveMQ, CXF... etc).

I welcome your comments, thoughts & suggestions. 

Cheers,

Ashwin...

P.S:  I have added requisite unit tests, performed checkstyle sourcecheck(s) 
and verified everything to be in good working order. I will be committing this 
version shortly and look forward to your thoughts, suggestions, updates and 
recommendations. I will apply any recommendations to the trunk as enhancement 
requests.

> Component requirements:
>  Need a Camel component (called Backbox, maybe) that can nicely expose a 
> ProtocolBuilder endpoint that does the following
>     a> Instantiate route definitions/route(s) configured in Spring or DSL at 
> startup
>     b> Launch a Producer or Consumer with a well known protocol(s) so that a 
> client can invoke it (could be direct or seda initially but could be any 
> protocol... really) . Must support multiple consumer endpoints and routes 
> using a URI scheme.
>     c> redirect received payloads (with marshalling into an exchange if 
> necessary) to the inner route(s) since they are launched and started. If 
> there are multiple inner routes with many consumers, we could expect the user 
> to provide a clue using the payload and/or an exchange property as to how the 
> payload should be routed.
>     d> Extend from a Default Consumer, Producer, Endpoint and Component.
>     e> Internally manage inner route lifecycles and operations.
