Question about configuring SSL for CAMEL LDAP - apache-camel

Question

Currently I am reading the document http://camel.apache.org/ldap.html
and try to configure SSL for LDAP , I did not find how or where the bean
ldapserver refers to the bean customSocketFactory.
Any suggestions or hints are more than welcome!

It is this line from the config you posted that creates the link
<prop key="java.naming.ldap.factory.socket" value="zotix.co.util.CustomSocketFactory"/>
I guess that normally an instance of zotix.co.util.CustomSocketFactory is created. But because there is already one in the Spring context it uses that one. Therefore no explicit link between the two beans is needed.
I am only guessing, but you can test that by (de-)activating the customSocketFactory bean. If this switches between a standard (non-SSL) and the SSL factory, it seems to be like this.
