IIRC, the constructors are fired upon deployment so that the classes
are started up and available to be invoked. But there are other
lifecycle methods that automatically fired as noted here:

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/servicemix/trunk/core/servicemix-core/src/main/java/org/apache/servicemix/jbi/management/BaseLifeCycle.java?view=markup

But these are only in effect if the component in question extends one
of classes in the hierarchy for BaseLifeCycle (e.g., PojoSupport, et
al.).

Yes, you will need to write your own component and one way of doing so
is to extend the helper classes that are provided as noted here:

As always, for the benefit of the entire user community, please ask
your questions on the servicemix-users list so that everyone can gain
knowledge from the answers provided.
