Table 6. Bean Properties

NameDescription
Bean TypeSpecifies the type of the bean.
Cache

Specifies whether Apache Camel will cache the first Registry lookup. Default is disabled.

NOTE: This property can be enabled only if the bean in the Registry is defined with a singleton scope.

DescriptionSpecifies a text description for the node. This description is included in the generated XML file, but it is informational only. It is not used by Apache Camel.
Id

Specifies a unique identifier for the endpoint.

The tooling automatically generates an id for a node when it is created, but you can remove that id or replace it with your own. The Camel debugger requires all nodes with a breakpoint set to have a unique id.

You can use the id to refer to endpoints in your Camel XML file.

MethodSpecifies the method to invoke on the bean. If no value is provided Apache Camel will attempt to determine the method to invoke. If no method can be determined a AmbiguousMethodCallException exception is thrown.
Multi Parameter ArraySpecifies whether to treat the parameters passed in the In message body as an array of parameters. Default is disabled.
RefSets a reference to a bean to use.
