Static method in route?

[Tim]

Is it possible to invoke a static method in the middle of the route without
having to use a processor or other wrapper?

Basically I have a simple static utility function that I want to invoke and
use it's results as a header.
Normally this would look like:

        from(someInput)
            .bean(someBean)
            .setHeader("someheader",
bean(willMakeHeaderInfoFromResultsOfSomeBean))
            .filter().method(someFilter)
            .bean(someOtherBean);

The method in willMakeHeaderInfoFromResultsOfSomeBean is short and can come
from a strategy enum which I want to use directly.
Sorry I can't find anything in the docs that mentions this but is this
possible directly from the route?

Hi

Yeah Camel should be able to invoke any public method on a bean.
However the logic may favor using a bean instance when invoking the
method. (Will have to check that).
So in case of a static method, the code could be optimized, in case it wasn't.

Let me create a JIRA ticket so we wont forget.
