The revered Enterprise Integration Patterns (EIP) book and its accompanying website are indispensable for handling integrations, but utilizing these patterns in your own code can be tedious, especially if you have to write the code from scratch every time. Wouldn't it be nice if you had a simple API for these patterns that makes this easier? Enter Apache Camel, a message routing and mediation engine that provides a POJO-based implementation of the EIP patterns and a wonderfully simple Domain Specific Language (DSL) for expressing message routes. This session will introduce and demonstrate the power of Camel. So go on, take a Camel ride!
