Apache Camel for Asynchronous Calls

Question

Does it make sense to use Apache Camel for Asynchronous requests? Or should I use simple MoM using a JMS server. There are no Enterprise Integration Patterns that I'll require.

Any help would be useful.

Answer 1

Even if you are not using any Enterprise Integration Patterns (yet) - Camel is great at integrating messaging into your application while hiding all of the middleware APIs while letting you easily switch between all the various different middleware technologies usually by just changing one or two strings.

e.g. see these links for more detail

• POJO producing
• POJO consuming
• Spring remoting

There is a POJO Messaging Example that walks you through using Camel purely as a way to integrate messaging into your POJOs
