Yes a producer template is a good way to send a message to a Camel endpoint from any POJO. See this FAQ http://camel.apache.org/why-does-camel-use-too-many-threads-with-producertemplate.html There ought to be a way with a onInit method on a servlet to get hold of some context, where you can lookup / create the producer template. A very old Camel Axis 1.4 tutorial does that with some spring servlet code http://camel.apache.org/tutorial-axis-camel.html > Going forward, I will retire these Servlets and use the camel-http and > camel-servlets instead. > > Also, what if I want to invoke these routes from a simple POJO?
