The transactional client pattern, shown in Figure 9.7, refers to messaging endpoints that can participate in a transaction. Fuse Mediation Router supports transactions using Spring transaction management.

Figure 9.7. Transactional Client Pattern

Not all Fuse Mediation Router endpoints support transactions. Those that do are called transaction oriented endpoints (or TOEs). For example, both the JMS component and the ActiveMQ component support transactions.

To enable transactions on a component, you must perform the appropriate initialization before adding the component to the CamelContext. This entails writing code to initialize your transactional components explicitly.

The details of configuring transactions in Fuse Mediation Router are beyond the scope of this guide. For full details of how to use transactions, see the Fuse Mediation Router Transaction Guide.
