All, Has anyone had any luck using Ektorp's (CouchDB driver) Spring support in Camel? I am having some problems configuring Ektorp as a Spring service. Here is my Spring config:
--snip-- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- Apache license text, blah blah blah ... --> <!-- Configures the Camel Context--> <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans";

project, where it will be picked up in the classpath: --snip-- host=localhost port=5984 maxConnections=20 connectionTimeout=1000 socketTimeout=10000 --end snip-- When I try to run my Camel route (that relies on Ektorp in the Spring config) I get the following output from DEBUG logging: --snip-- [ main] MainSupport INFO Apache Camel 2.5.0 starting [ main] ClassPathXmlApplicationContext INFO
