Apache Camel - Connection Beans Without Spring

While writing some tests for an Apache Camel project, I just spent rather longer than I'd have liked trying to work out how to configure a connection bean for Mongo without using Spring.

Since I hide my embarrassments in public I thought I'd best share with anyone else with brain freeze.

	public class SomeTest extends CamelTestSupport {
	@Override
	protected RouteBuilder createRouteBuilder() throws Exception {
	return new RouteBuilder() {
	@Override
	public void configure() throws Exception {
	from("direct:findAll")
	.to("mongodb:myConnectionBean?database=flights&collection=tickets&operation=findAll")
	.to("mock:resultFindAll");
	}
	};
	}
	@Override
	protected JndiRegistry createRegistry() throws Exception {
	JndiRegistry reg = new JndiRegistry(createJndiContext());
	Mongo connectionBean = new Mongo("localhost", 27017);
	reg.bind("myConnectionBean", connectionBean);
	return reg;
	}
	@Test
	public void testSomething() throws InterruptedException {
	// test something here
	}
	}

Don't forget you need the camel-mongodb artifact in your pom.xml file. Good luck fellow travellers.
