== XML and Java Bean

A basic example shows how Camel JBang can invoke Java beans from XML routes.

Notice how the Java bean is annotated with `@BindToRegisty` that allows Camel
to refer to this bean by an id from the XML routes.

The runtime is still plain Camel Main with JBang, and not Spring Boot or Quarkus.
However the benefit of allowing to use their annotations is that the transition
from Camel JBang to Spring Boot or Quarkus is easier.


=== Install JBang

First install JBang according to https://www.jbang.dev

When JBang is installed then you should be able to run from a shell:

[source,sh]
----
$ jbang --version
----

This will output the version of JBang.

To run this example you can either install Camel on JBang via:

[source,sh]
----
$ jbang app install camel@apache/camel
----

Which allows to run CamelJBang with `camel` as shown below.

=== How to run

Then you can run this example using:

[source,sh]
----
$ camel run *
----

=== Live reload

You can run the example in dev mode which allows you to edit the example,
and hot-reload when the file is saved.

[source,sh]
----
$ camel run * --dev
----
