Favor static methods for type converters provided by Camel components
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CAMEL-5171
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-5171
Project: Camel
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Claus Ibsen
Priority: Minor
Fix For: Future
We should favor static classes if possible for Camel type converters when
discovered and using @Converter. This allow to use a static method call,
instead of having to create a new instance of the class, to invoke the
converter method, for *every* type converstion.
In most cases a type conversion class do not need to store state, and thus it
can be static method calls.
An alternative is to allow a new attribute on @Converter at the class level,
where you can define if its thread safe or not.
{code}
@Converter(threadSafe = true)
public class MyComponentConverters
{code}
