Getting Started
First you need to Download the Camel distribution; or you could grab the Source and try Building it yourself.
You might want to read the following documentation before continuing:
- Find out about Enterprise Integration Patterns and how to implement them with Camel
- Review the Architecture guide to see how to build Routes using the DSL
Working with CamelContexts and RouteBuilders
To get started with Camel:
- Create a CamelContext.
- Optionally, configure components or endpoints.
- Add whatever routing rules you wish using the DSL and RouteBuilder or using XML Configuration.
- Start the context.
When your application is closing you may wish to stop the context
When you are ready, why not Walk through an Example?
Working with Spring
If you use Spring as a Dependency Injection container then please refer to the Camel Spring documentation.
