Claus Ibsen commented on CAMEL-7875:
------------------------------------

We have to be careful about this. As Camel does not hosts its own bean registry 
but integrates with spring / jndi / cdi / osgi etc. And those have various 
features to pre/post process the beans and whatnot. 

A Camel registry will thus not offer that functionality, and make it 
inconsistent behavior when a bean is found from Camel vs the others.

Also if a bean by type / name is in both which one to choose, and return? (eg 
how to handle duplicates) etc.

If the use-case is to make it easier to register beans manually to override 
existing beans for unit testing, then its better to improve camel-test. And 
leave current as-is.

> Easier write access to Camel context registry

> I haven't found a nice way to add beans to Camel context registry through 
> Camel context reference in plain Java. Some beans are only needed by a 
> certain endpoint and it would make sense to set the bean up with the endpoint 
> in routebuilder configure method.
> If we added a reference to self in SimpleRegistry we could setup the Camel 
> context by DefaultCamelContext(new SimpleRegistry()) or 
> OsgiDefaultCamelContext(bundleContext, new SimpleRegistry()) and easily 
> access the registry from the routebuilder with SimpleRegistry registry = 
> (SimpleRegistry) getContext().lookupByName(SimpleRegistry.NAME);.
> Then we can set up beans in routebuilder configure and simply add them with 
> registry.put. And the same routebuilder could be used in plain Java, in OSGi 
> or elsewhere.
> All that is needed is this change in SimpleRegistry:
> {code}
> public static final String NAME;
> static {
>    NAME = java.util.UUID.randomUUID().tostring();
> }
> public SimpleRegistry() {
>    put.(NAME, this);
> }
> {code}
