[jira] [Commented] (CAMEL-4704) Allow type converters to be specified as Spring beans

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-4704?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13155695#comment-13155695 ] 

Daniel Gredler commented on CAMEL-4704:
---------------------------------------

Here's another related bug, also marked "won't fix": CAMEL-3746

I've been looking at the code, and it appears that the change would involve a small tweak to AbstractCamelContextFactoryBean.afterPropertiesSet(), probably adding another small code block in the area where we already query the registry for event notifiers, endpoint strategies, intercept strategies and lifecycle strategies.

> There are many Camel configuration elements that are auto-discovered when they are configured as Spring beans (Tracer, InterceptStrategy, EventNotifier, PlatformTransactionManager, etc):
> http://camel.apache.org/advanced-configuration-of-camelcontext-using-spring.html
> However, instances of TypeConverter are not auto-discovered based on the Spring configuration (there is a different auto-discovery mechanism):
> http://camel.apache.org/type-converter.html
> A related JIRA ticket (requesting custom XML syntax) was marked "won't fix": CAMEL-1685.
> I agree that the extra XML tag is not necessary. However, the omission of Spring bean auto-discovery seems to violate the principle of least surprise -- as a new Camel user, knowing that Camel auto-discovers Spring beans for other configuration elements, I was surprised to find that Camel didn't find my TypeConverter Spring bean.
