                 Key: AMQ-3363
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-3363
             Project: ActiveMQ
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: james strachan


Folks often get quite lost hacking pure JMS code; its hard. Even using the Spring JMSTemplate / MessageListenerContainer can be tricky.

It might be nice to create a little archtype which has a spring XML inside it and some sample beans for consuming messages & processing/transforming them using Camel's annotations @Producer / @Consumer so there's no middleware APIs at all - just nice simple POJO stuff.

So am thinking something simple like...

* a producer bean using @Producer that producers some messages (maybe on startup or something)
* a consumer bean with @Consumer that does something with the messages

Spring XML with...

* an embedded broker (thats easy to zap/comment out)
* an ActiveMQ camel component bean with the brokerURL defined (so folks can see there's 1 simple property to define to move the broker somewhere else)
* a simple camel route to show how easy it is to mix and match camel routes and the beans

In general thinking we could have a real simpel archetype that can get folks started with AMQ without having to worry too much about the JMS API; and also help get them started on Camel too.

I guess the app could even extend camel-web and generate a WAR then folks would get a little UI for browsing their queue etc. e.g. like...
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/camel/sandbox/components/camel-activemq-web/
