Bean and method bindings

During step 2, when the BeanProcessor selects the method to invoke, the message/method bindings can occur in different ways. Camel tries the following steps to resolve the bean method:

  1. If the incoming message (in message) contains the CamelBeanMethodName header, then this method is invoked, converting the in message body to the type of the method's argument.
  2. You can specify the method name directly in the route definition (on the bean endpoint).
  3. If the bean contains a method annotated with @Handler, then this method is invoked.
  4. If the bean can be converted to a processor (containing the process() method), we fall back to the regular processor usage as seen in the previous chapter.
  5. If the body of the in message can be converted to a org.apache.camel.component.bean.BeanInvocation component, then it's the result of the getMethod() method, which is used as the method name.
  6. Otherwise, the body type of the in message is used to find a matching method.
