Hi,

I'm trying to override properties in a Camel Spring project. In my production 
code, I have a field injected with

@Component
public class MyRouteBuilder extends  SpringRouteBuilder {

  @PropertyInject("{{MY_PROPERTY}} ")
  private String myProperty;

}

I normally load the value from a properties file using a 
BridgePropertyPlaceholderConfigurer.

In one of my tests, I'd like to replace the property. My test looks as follows:

@RunWith(CamelSpringRunner.class)
@BootstrapWith(CamelTestContextBootstrapper.class)
@ContextConfiguration(locations = {
    "classpath:META-INF/spring/my-properties.xml"
})
@DirtiesContext(classMode = DirtiesContext.ClassMode.AFTER_EACH_TEST_METHOD)
@UseAdviceWith
public class CitizenLookupPatientByOIDRouteTest {
  @Test
   public void test() {
      ...
   }

   @UseOverridePropertiesWithPropertiesComponent
  public static Properties overrideProperties() {
    Properties overrides = new Properties();
    overrides.setProperty("MY_PROPERTY", "some-value");
    return overrides;
  }
}

What I am seeing is that the injected field gets the value from the properties 
file, rather than the overridden value. Debugging this, I see that the field 
injection happens during Spring bean postprocessing, which is before the 
overrideProperties method is called.

The code causing the injection in CamelSpringContextLoader is this 
https://github.com/apache/camel/blob/camel-2.23.1/components/camel-test-spring/src/main/java/org/apache/camel/test/spring/CamelSpringTestContextLoader.java#L152.
 A few lines below, the properties override code is called.

It is possible to work around this by never field/method injecting properties, 
but I think it would be nicer if this worked. Is there something I can do to 
delay the field injection until after the property override? Should I raise an 
issue for this on the Camel issue tracker?
