Roger: I'm new to Camel as well. I use a Maven Java project, so I just ensure that the Maven dependencies have the correct version of camel-netty4. I also use the Java DSL rather that spring.
However, did you see this stackoverflow post entitled: *Camel netty component example doesn't work, within Spring MVC*? It looks like an issue similar to yours.
