Thanks for the answers and guidelines Claus. I looked into the ServiceMix, but the project seems so abandoned, I decided not to use it. I read some discussions on the user and dev lists which gave the impression that ServiceMix has no certain future. Plus, you are bound to use older versions of Karaf and other frameworks. My goal is also to use Apache Cellar as I want fail-over architecture for my routes. Also the documentation for ServiceMix is not very good.
One thing, is "Preparing Karaf for Camel" at http://camel.apache.org/karaf.html a necessary step - I mean putting modified config.properties in Karaf etc folder? I hope I will find the time today to try running some routes in the Karaf.
