I am new to Apache Camel and I am in a situation where my application needs a codec (HL7) to be registered with camel context. I know there is a solution where you can create a default camel context with an instance of your own registry but is there any way I could configure my own registry in the camel context?
I am using JavaDSL to develop my application and the configuration in context goes like this.
<bean id="hl7codec" class="org.apache.camel.component.hl7.HL7MLLPCodec">
<property name="charset" value="iso-8859-1"/>
</bean>
<camelcontext id = "context">
<ref bean = "MyRouteBuilder"/>
<camelcontext/>
I build the routes in MyRouteBuilder Class by overriding the configure method. My route goes like this.
from("mina2:tcp://localhost:8888?sync=true&codec=#hl7codec").to("jms:queue")
However, the codec doesn't seem to work. When I remove the codec, My application runs just fine and accepts HL7 messages but with the codec, I am not able to receive any messages. I feel this occurs because the codec bean is defined but the context isnt able to pick it up. I do not want to create a defaultcamelcontext with the required registry settings. Rather, I am looking for a way to register the codec within camelcontext configuration xml, and so far, I have failed.
Am I missing anything with my configuration? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
