4.3. Camel’s bean registries

When Camel works with beans, it looks them up in a registry to locate them. Camel’s philosophy is to leverage the best of the available frameworks, so it uses a pluggable registry architecture to integrate them. Spring is one such framework, and figure 4.3 illustrates how the registry works.

Figure 4.3. A requester looks up a bean using the Camel registry, which then uses the Spring ApplicationContext to determine where the bean resides.
