Apache Camel is an extremely powerful declarative Java based, type-safe Domain Specific Language POJO broker, which uses Enterprise Integration Patterns as its foundation for integration.

The DSL means that Apache Camel can support type-safe smart completion of routing rules in your IDE, and XML configuration files are optional.

Apache Camel is integrated into the following projects

  • Apache CXF which is a smart web services suite (JAX-WS)
  • Apache ActiveMQ which is the most popular and powerful open source message broker
  • Apache ServiceMix which is the most popular and powerful distributed open source ESB and JBI container
  • Apache MINA a networking framework

Apache Camel uses generics (type-safe), annotations and URIs so that it can easily work directly with any kind of Transport or messaging model such as HTTP, JMS, JBI, SCA, MINA or CXF Bus API without mandating a normalized message API which can often lead to leaky abstractions. Apache Camel is also a small library which has minimal dependencies for easy embedding in any JVM.

So don't get the hump, try Camel today! (smile)
