+=== Default beans and Camel component autowiring
+
+Quarkus has the concept of
https://quarkus.io/guides/cdi-reference#default_beans[Default beans].
+Many Quarkus extensions produce CDI beans for types that can be autowired into
Camel components.
+Default beans always take priority for Camel component autowiring, when there
are multiple beans for the same target type.
+
+For example, Quarkus JDBC driver and Hibernate ORM extensions allow you to
configure applications with both 'default' and 'named' configurations.
+Without explicitly specifying which `DataSource` or `EntityManagerFactory` you
want to work with via endpoint URI options, the default bean for those types
will take priority for autowiring.

== What's next?
We recommend to continue with xref:user-guide/cdi.adoc[CDI].
