Embedding a Spring Integration app into Apache Karaf

[Julien Martin]

Hello,

I am in the process of developing a Spring app. As it stands the app is
currently run as follows by a main class:

import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;

public class Bootstrap {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("spring-integration-demo.xml");
    }

}

I would like to *integrate my app into Apache Karaf<http://karaf.apache.org/>
* (or integrate Apache Karaf into my app?).

I am not sure where and how to start. Can someone please provide basic
advice and/or pointer to relevant documentation?

Thanks in advance,

J.
