Accessing domain classes or spring beans from camel routes in Grails

Question

I have a camel route file which I want to populate/configure based on certain database records accessed through Grails domain classes. However, I cannot seem to access the domain classes (or anything in the spring context) from MyRoute.groovy. Any ideas on how I can make that possible?

I tried the recommendations at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/574807/grails-accessing-spring-beans-in-the-destory-closure-of-bootstrap-code but that doesn't seem to work.

Answer 1

In the Java RouteBuilder you can get hold of the CamelContext with the getContext() method. I assume you have the same method in the groovy builder.

With the CamelContext you can lookup spring beans from its registry.

MyType foo = context.getRegistry().lookup("mySpringBean", MyType.class);

Answer 2

You should take look at: http://camel.apache.org/hibernate.html

Please note, that you should add: ... ref('sessionFactory') ...

to beans section in your resources.groovy
