Training's & certifications on Apache Camel - apache-camel

We are actually looking for Training's by Apache foundation on CAMEL framework. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

As far as I know, some of the main Camel developers are RedHat employees. RedHat also offers professional Camel support for enterprises.
Camel is part of the Fuse suite at RedHat, therefore you could check out the Camel trainings of RedHat. There is actually a Camel certification course.
I don't think the Apache foundation offers courses and trainings.

https://www.redhat.com/en/services/certification/rhcs-camel-development
A Red Hat Certified Specialist in Camel Development is able to create and maintain enterprise integration services based on Red Hat® Fuse, Camel, and APIs.

Use Camel 2.18.x version with Jboss-fuse-karaf-6.3.0.redhat-187

I am using camel-salesforce component in jboss-fuse-karaf-6.3.0.redhat-187. Camel version 2.18.x provide replay with push-topic. If the client subscription got lost we can replay the old notification.
As per Red hat component details page , JBoss Fuse 6.3 support camel version 2.17.0.
https://access.redhat.com/articles/348423
Is there any way we can use camel 2.18.x version with jboss-fuse-karaf-6.3.0.redhat-187, so we use salesforce replay.
Will highlty appreciate if someone could provide any link , document or any red hat jira issue.
We already tried different stuff
1.) Try to merge 2.18 replay classes with 2.17 , there is lot of changes in 30-40 classes so tough doable.
2.) Try to build with 2.18 classes with 2.17 jars .Still not worked with karaf
3.) Fuse 6.3 not support camel 2.18.x so directly using 2.18 not making sense.
Kindly let me know if need any further information.
Thank you so much in advance.
No you should use the version that is shipped with JBoss Fuse, that is the certified version. Use Red Hat customer portal to get help/support with your fuse product. If there is a bug/feature in camel-salesforce you are looking for in JBoss Fuse 6.3 that is only available in later Camel release, then the Red Hat team can help you by looking into whether that can be backported and provided to you or what else you can do.

Difference between camel-jbpm and jboss jbpm?

What is the difference between Apache camel-jbpm and jboss jbpm ?
Since Apache camel(2.16.3) is having one component as camel-jbpm.
I am confused which one I should use ? I am integrating with karaf. please suggest.
JBoss BPM (business process - a.k.a human workflow) is a project you can find and read more about here:
http://www.jbpm.org/
Apache Camel is an integration library that allows to integrate with a lot of different system. Doing so by using Camel components. One of these components is camel-jbpm that makes it possible/easier to use JBPM from Camel users.
http://camel.apache.org/jbpm
So if you have an existing BPM system and need to integrate with that from a Camel application or Java application, then using the camel-jpmn can make that (much) easier.

How to install/ where to find jboss/fuse apache camel tools stand alone

i want to install the apache camel tools for eclipse: http://tools.jboss.org/features/apachecamel.html
But how to install/ where to find camel tools? I tried to install JBoss Tools from eclipse marketplace but didn't find camel on selection screen. (don't want all tools)
I also tried the update site mentioned here http://tools.jboss.org/blog/2014-04-14-JBTIS-4.html but the only "camel" thing is "JBoss Fuse Camel Editor Feature" is this it?
Besides the visualizing of routes i want to see jmx stuff that is exposed by my camel app.
The blog entry from Paul Leacu provides the correct information. There are currently 3 features which are named like "JBoss Fuse ...".
The Camel Editor feature provides the editor for designing your Camel Routes and to launch them on your local machine.
Then there is the Fuse Server Adapter feature which provides some server adapters for starting / stopping / installing Apache ServiceMix, Apache Karaf and JBoss Fuse servers.
Finally there is the Fuse Runtime feature which provides the JMX stuff you are looking for and the Fabric related functionality.
I made a short install guide on how to install JBoss Fuse Tooling without JBDS and/or the integration stack. You can find the guide here.

serviceMix 4.4 does not support ODE any longer, what is the alternative way to do orchestration?

I am new to serviceMix, I downloaded serviceMix 4.5.1 a couple of days ago.
When I tried to install ode in serviceMix using the command
features:install ode
It tells me this:
Error executing command: No feature named 'ode' with version '0.0.0' available
I googled/baidued mass of webs, I got a bad news that:
"Fuse ESB 4.4 does not support Apache ODE. The latest version of ODE is not compatible with Fuse ESB."
which comes from
http://fusesource.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=11209
Fuse ESB - ODE installation
So if serviceMix 4.4 does not support ODE any longer, what is the alternative way to do the web service orchestration in serviceMix? I have tried use camel to do this work,but that's not easy.
How about "bpel-g"?(http://code.google.com/p/bpel-g/) is it a good choice? or any other choice?
Any help will be really appreciated.
I like Activiti for processes and orchestration.
Never run it inside Karaf/SMX/Fuse ESB but it should be possible, if not using this instruction.
It also has a nice web explorer for human tasks etc. if you need it and BPMN modeller for rapid desing and visualization
I would recommend to try bpel-g. A colleague and me have been doing some BPEL conformance benchmarking lately (fyi: the benchmarking tool is available at github) and bpel-g turned out have the highest degree of support for the BPEL spec., along with the older ActiveBPEL engine from which bpel-g is a fork. ODE ranked third place.
Another nice feature of bpel-g is that it is indeed actively maintained. I don't know how well it integrates into the infrastructure of Fuse ESB, but since it's deployable as a war, this shouldn't be much of a problem.
UPDATE: Just had a look up: bpel-g seems to integrate with camel and provides a custom handler to invoke camel components. So, basically, the solution outlined in Petters answer also applies to bpel-g and, in contrast to Activiti, it has a message correlation framework. Finally, the barrier to using it should be smaller, as you already know BPEL. As a consequence, bpel-g might be a more suitable solution here.

What are the development differences between Apache products and Redhat Fuse?

We have been using the Apache ActiveMQ and Camel products for a while now but want to look at a good base ESB. I've been reading the Redhat site about Fuse but have been unable to find a good summary of the significant differences between Fuse and Apache for coders.
From a designer's/developer's point of view what are the significant differences between Fuse and the Apache Camel and ActiveMQ that we have been using? I get the lovely overview stuff, FuseIDE and the ESB management tools. But I really just want to know of the differences at the code level, i.e. does it introduce more useful Camel endpoints? are there additional libraries of genuinely useful things that will make my life as a designer/coder easier? are there any pitfalls to look out for?
I just need a few pointers to help me in my search, not a tome. Or better still a quick link to a document that goes over all this (ever hopeful :o) !) I have a short time to form a view to go forward on or the opportunity will pass me by.
Thank you.

At the code level there is "no" difference. The process is that we develop on the Apache projects, and sync the code changes to Red Hat / Fuse git repos. There we cherry pick the changes we want to go into our branches, to keep the product stable. As well backport fixes to older branches if our customers need that / etc (eg you can influence that)
The products from Red Hat is also supported on a much longer timespan than the community support from Apache. There is a guranteed lifetime which you can find here: https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/jboss_notes/
There is only a few additional Camel components from Fuse / JBoss Fuse products, which is part of the open source project Fuse Fabric (http://fuse.fusesource.org/fabric/) which is part of the JBoss Fuse products. Fuse Fabric is in the process of being donated to Apache ServiceMix, so it can benefit that community as well, allowing ServiceMix to bundle Fabric out of the box as well. Fabric has a few Camel components that allows sending messages to a any Camel endpoint that load balances automatic in a clustered environment / cloud environment. And there is another Camel component for selecting a master, and only run the route on the master node, and if the master dies, then another node takes over.
I also think that this move is a testimony of the open source
willingness the Fuse team has and continues to have. We do as much as possible
in the opening. For example the new project - hawtio (http://hawt.io/)
is also fully open source, ASL license, github project, anyone can contribute/fork etc.
And the JBoss Fuse product allows to patch itself in production. So if you need a hotfix asap, we can provide a fix as a .zip file which can be patched using a built-in patch tool in the product. This isn't possible from Apache.

Disclosure: I work for Fusesource / Red Hat.
On a code level, the difference is very small, if any at all.
What you get from the commersial RedHat package is support, a package that has been tested and operational benefits (that you mention).
It's all about what happends after the code is made - when you put your things to production and the coder is not still around to handle incidents.
Apache ActiveMQ and Camel are open source projects. Redhat fuse bundles them and possibly many other components into one package and so it can be used as one ESB package. I see the biggest difference as the support that you can get. You can get support for something that your organization has not produced. And the tools that comes with the package does help during development and maintenance in my view.
