I think you said it. One is for spring apps, and the other is for regular standalone apps. > Is it a good practice to make my camel application standalone in my > production environment or is it better to make it run in an osgi container > such as karaf? > That is your choice. There is nothing that is a clear winner. Camel can run in almost any kind of server/environment, and its your choise to pick what you need to use. And often your company have existing infrastructure you must use. But often it can be a good idea to use a container, to let the container manage your applications. If you need to deploy more than one application. Just mind that OSGi is not super easy to get started with, and it also influences how you develop your applications. So take some time to get more familiar with OSGi. But it brings a lot of value to the table if you need and learn to use it. Maybe pickup a few of the Karaf/OSGi books http://karaf.apache.org/index/community/articles.html > -- > BR > Muhsin -- Claus Ibsen ----------------- Red Hat, Inc.
