Hi You can read about the producer template here http://camel.apache.org/producertemplate.html
The idea is similar to the Spring Templates, eg JmsTemplate, JdbcTemplate etc. To make it easier to use a framework, eg in those from Spring, eg to work with JMS or JDBC. The Camel Producer- and ConsumerTemplate, its for end users to make it easier to send and receive messages from Camel endpoints. So with the ProducerTemplate you can in 1 line of code send a message to *any* Camel endpoint.
