Hi Henryk Sounds really cool with a Camel exam at black belt.
1) Apache Camel is implementing the famous EIP patterns from the EIP book http://www.enterpriseintegrationpatterns.com/ So I believe the exam should outline this by covering maybe 6 or so common patterns - Content Based Router - Pipes and Filters - Message Translator - Message Filter - Recipient List - and maybe WireTap The more complex to use such as - Splitter - Aggregator - Multicast may be covered as well 2) The Camel concepts and integration lingo in general should also be covered. I would suggest to be inspired in the chapter 1 of the Camel in Action book which explains those http://www.manning.com/ibsen 3) And yes getting practical and using Camel should be in there as well - starting CamelContext from Java - using CamelContext in a Spring XML file - how to do routing in Java DSL and Spring XML - using Processor - using ProducerTemplate - configuring endpoints using URLs 4) In term of testing. - Yeah cover Mock component - I do NOT think you should cover DataSet as its not commonly used and people should prefer to use JMeter or some other from for load/stress/endurance testing - The Test component is very seldom used, despite its name :) But it does definitely look good with the current outline.
