As you see in [1] if you don't specify your spring configuration resource explicity (through Main.setApplicationContextUri()), per default Camel sets the *single* configuration to
private String applicationContextUri = "META-INF/spring/*.xml"; So that Spring *hits* and *loads* "src/main/resources/META-INF/spring/camel-context-1.xml" as the first matching resource of that regular expression. However the solution in your easy is pretty easy, as an example just create an ApplicationContext like: AbstractApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("classpath:META-INF/spring/camel-context-1.xml", "classpath:META-INF/spring/camel-context-2.xml"); and then wire it to [1] using: Main.setApplicationContext(context); Another possible approach would be if you would use spring import feature [2], that's import camel-context-2.xml into camel-context-1.xml, an then just try to load camel-context-1.xml using Main.setApplicationContextUri(). That all said, just looking at [1] I think even using Main.setApplicationContextUri("META-INF/spring/camel-context-1.xml;META-INF/spring/camel-context-2.xml") should also do the trick. Thanks God, there are bunch of ways in Camel one can reach his goals ;-) Please also note that through Maven default-project-directory-layout the directory "src/main/resources" is *already* on the classpath*, so that you can omit that prefix while providing the URIs.
