Hi IMHO instead of the "stop" workaround better let the IoC container do the job for you. That's instead of declaring it like:
@EndpointInject ProducerTemplate producer; Simply do: @Autowired ProducerTemplate producer; And declare the ProducerTemplate the way from the Wiki (see the XML-snippet of what Claus already sent): <camelContext id="camelContext" xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring" trace="true"> <template id="..."/> And then Spring will take care of the rest (no need for an explicit stop call anymore). The same also applies if you would make use of Blueprint instead of Spring. Under the cover the following FactoryBeans do the Job (see the destroy method implementation which they both share): https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/camel/trunk/components/camel-spring/src/main/java/org/apache/camel/spring/CamelProducerTemplateFactoryBean.java https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/camel/trunk/components/camel-blueprint/src/main/java/org/apache/camel/blueprint/CamelProducerTemplateFactoryBean.java Babak -- View this message in context: http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Problem-with-ProducerTemplate-on-context-shutdown-tp5719525p5719533.html Sent from the Camel Development mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
