As Camel route provides some abstraction of message routing, when you write the route, you don’t need to take care of the component implementation. All you need to do is make sure the camel route works as you expected first.
With the help of camel unit test, we can make sure the camel route works, then you can add more integration test to make sure the camel component works as you expected. -- Willem Jiang Red Hat, Inc.
