> 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
