  • camel-mq shows how to call an ActiveMQ broker Kubernetes service from a Camel CDI application.
  • camel-http - shows how to call a Kubernetes service with HTTP from a Camel CDI application.
  • cxf - shows how to work with CXF in the Java Container using CDI to configure CXF REST services.
• Java quickstarts using standalone plain Java container
  • camel-spring demonstrates how to run a Spring based Camel application as a standalone Java container. The Camel route is defined in a Spring XML file.
  • simple-fatjar this example shows how to start the Java Container using your custom main class as a FAT jar.
  • simple-mainclass this example shows how to start the Java Container using your custom main class as a main class.
• Karaf quickstarts using Apache Karaf containers.
  • camel-amq demonstrates using Apache Camel to send and recieve messages to an Apache ActiveMQ message broker, using the Camel amq component.

  • cxf-rest is a set of web service and REST examples using Apache CXF.
• Spring Boot quickstarts
  • camel demonstrates how you can use Apache Camel with Spring Boot.
  • webmvc demonstrates how you can use Spring MVC with Spring Boot.
• War quickstarts are using Java Servlet containers, supporting WAR deployments.
  • camel-servlet demonstrates how you can use Servlet to expose a http service in a Camel route, and run that in a servlet container such as Apache Tomcat.
  • cxf-cdi-servlet demonstrates how to create a RESTful (JAX-RS) web service using Apache CXF and expose it using CDI running in servlet container as a war
  • wildfly demonstrates how to deploy a simple Application as war on a Wildfly instance

You can use this quickstarts either as an archetype or directly by checking out the https://github.com/fabric8io/ipaas-quickstarts project.
