We are upgrading from Camel v2.13 to v2.16 and discovered that beanRef() has been marked as deprecated. What is the replacement/alternative recommended by Apache Camel. I was unable to find anything useful on Camel v2.16.0 Documentation site. Even updated examples are not yet available.
beanRef() is syntax within Java DSL Bean Language of Camel.
It's especially suited to application integration – that means it's good if you need to consume, transform and route data between applications. Apache Camel is even more relevant today in the cloud era, where the number of applications in a typical enterprise just seems to be growing bigger and bigger.
Camel uses a Java Domain Specific Language or DSL for creating Enterprise Integration Patterns or Routes in a variety of domain-specific languages (DSL) as listed below: Java DSL - A Java based DSL using the fluent builder style.
Apache Camel ™ is a versatile open-source integration framework based on known Enterprise Integration Patterns. Camel empowers you to define routing and mediation rules in a variety of domain-specific languages (DSL, such as Java, XML, Groovy, Kotlin, and YAML).
I assume that you are talking about the ProcessorDefinition
class.
The javadoc comments say to use the bean(...)
methods as replacements for the beanRef(...)
methods.
