Using Apache Camel in an OSGi World
Johan Edstrom, Senior SOA Architect and Jeff Genender, Principal, Savoir Technologies
Camel is one of the leading components used inside the ServiceMix container which is primarily OSGi based. But deploying Camel endpoints in an OSGi container can pose a number of obstacles and hurdles. These hurdles manifest themselves through the heavy use of Spring and Spring-DM and the reliance on the Spring application contexts. In this session Johan and Jeff will cover best practices for deploying Camel in an OSGi container, with an emphasis on Blueprint as a solution to stable endpoint deployments.

The session will culminate with the lessons learned from a high-profile FAA application of the necessary building blocks for moving a real-world FAA application to Apache Aries Blueprint with OpenJPA, Camel Blueprint, Aries TX/JNDI from Spring DM and Hibernate.
