6.1. Summary of Apache Camel 2.12 to Apache Camel 2.15.1 Migration
Overview
Red Hat JBoss Fuse 6.2.0.redhat-133 uses Apache Camel 2.15.1. Since the last release, Apache Camel has been upgraded from version 2.12 to version 2.15.1. This introduces a few migration issues.
Spring framework
Spring 3.0.x and Spring 3.1.x are no longer supported. You must use Spring 3.2.x.
The camel-infinispan component has been removed from JBoss Fuse 6.2
The
camel-infinispan component is not included in JBoss Fuse 6.2. It is recommended that you use the camel-jbossdatagrid component instead. For details on how to install it, see Red Hat JBoss Data Grid and Red Hat JBoss Fuse in the Red Hat JBoss Data Grid Getting Started guide.
You can use any supported combination of JBoss Data Grid in a given container, where the list of certified versions is listed in the JBoss Data Grid support matrix. For some examples of how to use JBoss Data Grid with JBoss Fuse, see https://github.com/jbossdemocentral/jdg-fuse-demos.
