Hi Stephen, Thanks for your response.
I do understand the use of the direct component, but thanks for the explanation any how. I guess using the Spring Events mechanism will get me there, but it'd be nice to codify the solution in a way that remains agnostic of being invoked from Spring. I'm thinking that it'd be useful to raise a JIRA so that RouteBuilder gets the opportunity of kicking things off once the context is ready. What'd think? BTW: I do not have a Main class as I'm using org.apache.camel.spring.Main.
