“How do I set up a highly available cluster with Camel?” That’s a simple question that doesn’t have a straightforward answer. You can ask the same question about a Java application server such as Apache Tomcat or WildFly and get a well-documented answer. Unlike Camel, these application servers are within a well-defined scope. They often support only a few protocols such as HTTP (Servlet) and messaging (JMS). Camel, on the other hand, speaks a lot more protocols, as you can tell by the many Camel ...
