The Apache Camel’s Enterprise Integration Patterns are inspired by a book of the same name written by Gregor Hohpe and Bobby Woolf. The patterns described by them provide an excellent toolbox for developing enterprise integration projects. In addition to providing a common language for discussing integration architectures, many of these patterns can be implemented directly via Apache Camel’s programming interfaces and XML configuration.
