Incidentally Willem has done some great work lately to help integrate together Camel and Spring Integration... http://activemq.apache.org/camel/springintegration.html so users can choose to use the best bits of both frameworks; use SI's annotations and AOP on beans if you want, or use Camels Components... http://activemq.apache.org/camel/components.html and extensive EIP pattern implementations http://activemq.apache.org/camel/enterprise-integration-patterns.html along with the routing language in Java http://activemq.apache.org/camel/dsl.html XML http://activemq.apache.org/camel/spring.html or now Scala http://activemq.apache.org/camel/scala-dsl.html -- James ------- http://macstrac.blogspot.com/ Open Source Integration http://open.iona.com
