Hi everyone. I figured out the issue here (sort of). The camel main class appears to not provide the Camel context correctly when the getOrCreateCamelContext() is called. I tried for hours yesterday trying to make this give me the correct context so I could add the ActiveMQ component in with the correct remote URL.
I finally used the startup code from the article below (found it in the articles section of the site), thus replacing the use of the Camel Main class and it added the comment to the context and I was able to see my messages hit the queue on the remote ActiveMQ server. http://saltnlight5.blogspot.com/2013/08/getting-started-with-apache-camel-using.html Hope that helps anyone who runs up against a similar issue.

In my boot() method I'm trying to add the correct URL to the camel context but it's not getting added. When the code runs its still looking for a broker on localhost instead of the broker server I passed. How do I get the URL to be picked up in the context so my Java DSL route can connect to the correct server? @SuppressWarnings("static-access") public void boot() throws Exception { // create a Main instance main = new Main(); // enable hangup support so you can press ctrl + c to terminate the JVM main.enableHangupSupport(); ActiveMQComponent amq = new ActiveMQComponent(); main.getOrCreateCamelContext().addComponent( "activemq", amq.activeMQComponent("tcp://ourbrokerserver.workplace.com:61616")); //ActiveMQComponent amq = new ActiveMQComponent(); // add routes main.addRouteBuilder(new EtlProducerRouteBuilder()); // run until you terminate the JVM System.out.println("Starting Camel. Use ctrl + c to terminate the JVM.\n"); main.run(); }
