Camel Essential Components by Christian Posta. (new Dzone Refcard)

From the webpage:

What is Apache Camel?

Camel is an open-source, lightweight, integration library that allows your applications to accomplish intelligent routing, message transformation, and protocol mediation using the established Enterprise Integration Patterns and out-of-the-box components with a highly expressive Domain Specific Language (Java, XML, or Scala). With Camel you can implement integration solutions as part of an overarching ESB solution, or as individual routes deployed to any container such as Apache Tomcat, Apache ServiceMix, JBoss AS, or even a stand-alone java process.

Why use Camel?

Camel simplifies systems integrations with an easy-to-use DSL to create routes that clearly identify the integration intentions and endpoints. Camel’s out of the box integration components are modeled after the Enterprise Integration Patterns cataloged in Gregor Hohpe and Bobby Wolf’s book (http://www.eaipatterns.com). You can use these EIPs as pre-packaged units, along with any custom processors or external adapters you may need, to easily assemble otherwise complex routing and transformation routes. For example, this route takes an XML message from a queue, does some processing, and publishes to another queue:

No explicit handling of subject identity but that’s what future releases are for. 😉
