See chapter 13 in the book. And in camel-spring there is a Main class which you can use to run Camel standalone and easily let it bootup a Spring XML file. There is also a Main class in camel-core, but it need a bit more work to make it easier to use OOTB. There is a ticket for that: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-3339 But I suggest to read chapter 13 in the book which explains how Camel startup and covers some of the deployment options you have. > Before I post more details as to my attempts, I wanted to confirm whether > I'm really marching down a possible solution and, if so, ask if one can > steer me towards good examples or tutorials relative to my goal. > > Some more info: I'm new to CXF and still clumsy with Spring.
