Hi first of all, I would say that your formula Camel + ActiveMQ is almost right.
What you might be missing is your runtime, where you deploy Camel to. This might be the point why people have guided you towards Fuse, JBoss, Talend, etc. Fuse, Talend, etc. provide additional tooling to implement your routes e.g. via graphical editors which might easy some of the steps you described. Using Camel and ActiveMQ you can apply a) The JMS component as client implementation that provides a certain abstraction layer and you might switch your underlying JMS provider at some stage (http://camel.apache.org/jms.html) b) The ActiveMQ component that ties you to the usage of ActiveMQ (http://camel.apache.org/activemq.html) If you need a working example, I recommend looking at the test cases might be a good entry point to get started with that topic. Hope that the given information did help a little. - Christoph On 02 Nov 2013, at 14:03, pmp.martins <pmp.mart...@campus.fct.unl.pt> wrote: > Ok... so I am still struggling with understanding some of Camel's main > features and limitations. > > My objective is to implement a demo application that can migrate camel > endpoints.
