Apache Camel 1.2 Release 了

Apache Camel 1.2 终于Release了。这也意味着我写的CXF component正式进入Camel Project中了。

下面是有关Apache Camel的介绍:

Apache Camel is a powerful rule based routing and mediation engine which provides a POJO based implementation of the Enterprise Integration Patterns using an extremely powerful fluent API (or declarative Java Domain Specific Language) to configure routing and mediation rules. The Domain Specific Language means that Apache Camel can support type-safe smart completion of routing rules in your IDE using regular Java code without huge amounts of XML configuration files; though Xml Configuration inside Spring is also supported.

Apache Camel 是一个非常强大的基于规则的路由以及媒介引擎，该引擎提供了一个基于POJO的 企业应用模式(Enterprise Integration Patterns)的实现，你可以采用其异常强大且十分易用的API (可以说是一种Java的领域定义语言 Domain Specific Language)来配置其路由或者中介的规则。 通过这种领域定义语言，你可以在你的IDE中用简单的Java Code就可以写出一个类型安全并具有一定智能的规则描述文件。这与那种复杂的XML配置相比极大简化了规则定义开发。 当然Apache Camel也提供了一个对Spring 配置文件的支持。

Apache Camel uses URIs so that it can easily work directly with any kind of Transport or messaging model such as HTTP, ActiveMQ, JMS, JBI, SCA, MINA or CXF Bus API together with working with pluggable Data Format options. Apache Camel is also a small library which has minimal dependencies for easy embedding in any Java application.

Apache Camel 采用URI来描述各种组件，这样你可以很方便地与各种传输或者消息模块进行交互，其中包含的模块有 HTTP, ActiveMQ, JMS, JBI, SCA, MINA or CXF Bus API。 这些模块是采用可插拔的方式进行工作的。Apache Camel的核心十分小巧你可以很容易地将其集成在各种Java应用中。

Apache Camel can be used as a routing and mediation engine for the following projects:

目前Apache Camel作为一个路由以及媒介引擎可以与如下项目集成。

Apache ActiveMQ which is the most popular and powerful open source message broker

Apache CXF which is a smart web services suite (JAX-WS)

Apache MINA a networking framework

Apache ServiceMix which is the most popular and powerful distributed open source ESB and JBI container

So don't get the hump, try Camel today!
