Hi Anuj, > 1. Does camel need ActiveMQ broker to run or it can work without ActiveMQ > also ?
ActiveMQ is only one among many [1] components supported by Camel. So yes, you can run Camel without AMQ. > 2. What are the possible use cases where I can use camel with ActiveMQ ? Well, actually whenever you want to receive/send message to JMS you should consider using Camel :) . JMS usage usually involves using Enterprise Integration Patterns [2]. And whenever you need to use EIP, you should consider using Camel for that purpose. > 3. What is component ? > After reading > http://activemq.apache.org/broker-camel-component.html > Is it like broker in camel or camel in broker? Component is a factory of the endpoints. And endpoints are used to send/receive messages using various protocols and data sources. In the JMS regards broker is something external for Camel. Camel is a kind of powerful JMS client. :) Check out these [3][4] two books (written by our fellow committers) if you are looking for good introduction to Camel. Cheers.
