Welcome to Apache Camel =============================================================================== Apache Camel is a powerful Spring based Integration Framework. Camel implements the Enterprise Integration Patterns allowing you to configure routing and mediation rules in either a Java based Domain Specific Language (or Fluent API) or via Spring based XML Configuration files. Either approaches mean you get smart completion of routing rules in your IDE whether in your Java or XML editor. Apache Camel uses URIs so that it can easily work directly with any kind of transport or messaging model such as HTTP, ActiveMQ, JMS, JBI, SCA, MINA or CXF Bus API together with and working with pluggable Data Format options. Apache Camel is a small library which has minimal dependencies for easy embedding in any Java application. Apache Camel can be used as a routing and mediation engine for the following projects: * Apache ActiveMQ which is the most popular and powerful open source message broker * Apache CXF which is a smart web services suite (JAX-WS and JAX-RS) * Apache MINA a networking framework * Apache ServiceMix which is the most popular and powerful distributed open source ESB, JBI and OSGi container Getting Started =============================================================================== To help you get started, try the following links: Getting Started http://camel.apache.org/getting-started.html Building http://camel.apache.org/building.html We welcome contributions of all kinds, for details of how you can help http://camel.apache.org/contributing.html Please refer to the website for details of finding the issue tracker, email lists, wiki or IRC channel http://camel.apache.org/ If you hit any problems please talk to us on the Camel Forums http://camel.apache.org/discussion-forums.html Please help us make Apache Camel better - we appreciate any feedback you may have.
