We illustrate the use of beans in a simple example. This example will create an OSGi bundle containing a bean called by a Camel route.
We will create a bean used in two parts of a route:
One that directly uses the Camel bean component to change the body of the in message
Another to define a header in the route
First, we create the Maven project pom.xml for our bundle:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
