Hi Don, I reviewed your sample code. Thanks very much for sharing that with me. If I understand the intent and explanation correctly, you are using your OsgiCamelTracker to delay the start-up of your Camel-using code until you can be sure that the requisite ComponentResolver services have become available.
In my current project we use OSGi Declarative Services, so I have set up an OSGi component (yay, overloaded terms!) that requests a service reference for a ComponentResolver that can provide the Camel 'file' component. This should have the same effect of delaying the activation of my CamelStarter class until that service can be bound. Here's the DS xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <scr:component xmlns:scr="http://www.osgi.org/xmlns/scr/v1.1.0"; name="com.cra.camelsandbox.CamelStarter"> <implementation class="com.cra.camelsandbox.CamelStarter"/> <reference bind="bindComponentResolver" cardinality="1..1" interface="org.apache.camel.spi.ComponentResolver" name="ComponentResolver" policy="dynamic" target="(component=file)" unbind="unbindComponentResolver"/> </scr:component> And the Java class itself: public class CamelStarter { private static final transient Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(CamelStarter.class); protected void activate(ComponentContext context) throws Exception { LOG.trace("activating"); CamelContext camelContext = new OsgiDefaultCamelContext(context.getBundleContext()); // camelContext.start(); } protected void deactivate(ComponentContext context) { LOG.trace("deactivating"); } protected void bindComponentResolver(ComponentResolver cr) { LOG.trace("Binding ComponentResolver"); // Ignored, since the ComponentResolver is not directly used } protected void unbindComponentResolver(ComponentResolver cr) { LOG.trace("Unbinding ComponentResolver"); // Ignored, since the ComponentResolver is not directly used } } With the third line of the activate method commented out, everything seems to go as planned: [21 Jun 2011 15:08:19] TRACE [Component Resolve Thread (Bundle 12)] CamelStarter - Binding ComponentResolver [21 Jun 2011 15:08:19] TRACE [Component

I'm sorry not to be working more directly from your sample code, but please correct me if its service management strategy/intent is different from my understanding.

OsgiCamelTracker.java (attached) is a work in progress. There's a reference to ContextUtil; that's the service class that supplies the CamelContext singleton. Use it by subclassing it and implementing methods start() and stop(). Call setBundleContext(bundleContext) first, then startTracking(). OsgiCamelTracker.startTracking() accepts no parameters, a single String, or a Collection<String>. The strings are the names of components that you need. It'll track instances of ComponentResolver, maintaining a list of what components are available and what components are still needed. When all the components you need are available, it'll call start(); when any of the components cease to be available, it'll call stop(). If you don't supply component names, it'll react to camel-core itself becoming active, which is all you need for core components like mock, bean and file. Use routeId(<name>) in your route definitions. Use camelcontext.startRoute(<name>) from the OsgiCamelTracker.start(); use camelcontext.stopRoute(<name>) from the OsgiCamelTracker.stop(). Be advised, you'll need to use a singleton CamelContext if you're using SEDA queues, because SEDA queues are local to a CamelContext instance. A route that consumes from a SEDA queue from one CamelContext instance won't see anything produced to a SEDA queue from a different CamelContext instance.
