HIGHLIGHT The first book on Apache Camel, a Java-based open source toolkit for implementing common enterprise integration patterns. DESCRIPTION Implementing the patterns from Gregor Hohpe and Bobby Woolf's ubiquitous Enterprise Integration Patterns (Addison Wesley) is a big task. But with just a few lines of Camel code, a developer can implement a Hohpe/Woolf pattern that would require many lines of normal programming. Camel in Action introduces Camel and then quickly moves on to show practical examples of how to use it with the 45+ supported enterprise integration patterns. Camel can run as a standalone or inside many other applications, and the book includes a technical reference explaining how to use Camel with many platforms. Written by the people who wrote the Camel code, it's up-to-date and provides details and insights that only people deeply involved with Camel could provide. KEY POINTS F * First and only book on Apache Camel. F * Written by the developers of Camel. F * Practical, insightful and comprehensive.
