---------------------------------------
Summary: Add support for method references bean::methodName
Key: CAMEL-12910
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-12910
Project: Camel
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: camel-spring-integration
Reporter: Cristian Donoiu
Attachments: Bean.java
Hi
This is not related only to spring integration.
I like to be able to use a spring service annotated class or bean directly from
route but without using the method name as string, i.e. .bean(instance,
"<method name") and instead use a method reference: .bean(instance::method)
But why?:
*1.* not being able to navigate quickly(open) that method from the IDE. Need to
do some intermediary steps to reach that method.
*2.* using of reflection internally by Camel to call that method.
*3.* not being able to rename the method without breaking the route.
*4.* not being able to see quickly (Alt+F7) who calls a methods in the IDE.
*5.* using strings to reference a method when we have method references seems
*not right.*
As a workaround I had to add a helper class to simulate passing of method
references and then internally to translate to method.
In case it helps explaining I am attaching the helper Bean.java class (you can
use it for free or to do better).
You can use the class in any route like this:
from (X)
.bean(*call*(cancelSubscriptionService::buildSalesforceCase))
.to(Y)
.routeId(Z);
As you see I am forced to use the intermediary helper 'call' in order to
translate to an Expression.
I would like to not have to use my helper and have the support built directly
into Camel if possible. Let me know if there is a better solution to my problem.
Thanks
