Camel supports the Message Channel from the EIP patterns. The Message Channel is an internal implementation detail of the Endpoint interface and all interactions with the Message Channel are via the Endpoint interfaces.

Example
In JMS, Message Channels are represented by topics and queues such as the following
jms:queue:foo |
This message channel can be then used within the JMS component
Using the Fluent Builders
to("jms:queue:foo") |
Using the Spring XML Extensions
<to uri="jms:queue:foo"/> |
