Enterprise Integration Patterns

This page describes the various Enterprise Integration Patterns which are implemented by Camel.

	Message Channel	How does one application communicate with another using messaging?
	Message	How can two applications connected by a message channel exchange a piece of information?
	Message Router	How can you decouple individual processing steps so that messages can be passed to different filters depending on a set of conditions?
	Message Endpoint	How does an application connect to a messaging channel to send and receive messages?

What will the messaging system do with a message it cannot deliver?

	Content Based Router	How do we handle a situation where the implementation of a single logical function (e.g., inventory check) is spread across multiple physical systems?
	Message Filter	How can a component avoid receiving uninteresting messages?
	Recipient List	How do we route a message to a list of dynamically specified recipients?
	Splitter	How can we process a message if it contains multiple elements, each of which may have to be processed in a different way?

	Event Driven Consumer	How can an application automatically consume messages as they become available?
	Selective Consumer	How can a message consumer select which messages it wishes to receive?

How do you inspect messages that travel on a point-to-point channel?
