You didn't set the transaction manager in your ActiveMQComponent... May be this samples are useful for you: https://github.com/muellerc/camel-in-transaction There is a similar unit test at: https://github.com/muellerc/camel-in-transaction/blob/master/src/test/java/org/apache/cmueller/camel/samples/camelone/jms/JmsTransactionSampleTest.java https://github.com/muellerc/camel-in-transaction/blob/master/src/test/resources/META-INF/spring/JmsTransactionSampleTest-context.xml
