The Camel Blueprint test kit allows you to mock and prototype OSGi services.

For that, the kit uses the PojoSR library.

For instance, we want to test the following route:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<blueprint xmlns="http://www.osgi.org/xmlns/blueprint/v1.0.0">

      <reference id="service" interface="org.apache.camel.Processor"/>

      <camelContext xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/blueprint">
          <route id="test">
              <from uri="direct:input"/>
              <process ref="service"/>
              <to uri="direct:output"/>
          </route>
      </camelContext>

</blueprint>

If this route is very simple, it uses an OSGi service via the <reference/> element. In the OSGi container, the reference element is looking for the actual service in the OSGi Service Registry.

Instead of using a real blueprint container, the Camel Blueprint test kit allows you to register services...
