Claus, thanks for the hint. I implemented a regular Spring-based DAO layer and hit a NoClassDefFoundError. It turns out it wasn't the JPA configuration at all; I missed the transitive dependency on ANTLR. Once that was on the classpath, the JPA consumer started polling.
I don't have the resources to investigate this further, but I surely wished, the Camel JPA polling consumer would've been a little more verbose. Could it be that it's swallowing an underlying exception somewhere? Thanks again and keep up the good work!
