Since Apache Camel have only one built-in implementation for specific JMS provider – ActiveMQ, you have to use generic org.apache.camel.component.jms.JmsConfiguration.

In order to work with HornetQ with Camel and Spring first you have to add HornetQ dependencies to Maven pom.xml:

<dependency>
	<groupId>org.hornetq</groupId>
	<artifactId>hornetq-jms</artifactId>
	<version>${hornetq.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
	<groupId>org.hornetq</groupId>
	<artifactId>hornetq-jms-client</artifactId>
	<version>${hornetq.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
	<groupId>org.hornetq</groupId>
	<artifactId>hornetq-core-client</artifactId>
	<version>${hornetq.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
	<groupId>org.jboss.netty</groupId>
	<artifactId>netty</artifactId>
	<version>3.2.7.Final</version>
</dependency>

After that modify your spring.xml. Here is an example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd">
    <bean id="hornetqServerLocatorFactory" class="com.example.HornetqServerLocatorFactory" />
    <bean id="hornetqServerLocator" factory-bean="hornetqServerLocatorFactory" factory-method="createServerLocator"/>
    <bean id="hornetqJmsConnectionFactory" class="org.hornetq.jms.client.HornetQJMSConnectionFactory">
        <constructor-arg name="serverLocator" ref="hornetqServerLocator"/>
    </bean>
    <bean id="hornetqJmsConfig" class="org.apache.camel.component.jms.JmsConfiguration">
        <property name="connectionFactory" ref="hornetqJmsConnectionFactory"/>
        <property name="transacted" value="false"/>
        <property name="requestTimeout" value="60000"/>
    </bean>
    <bean id="hornetq" class="org.apache.camel.component.jms.JmsComponent">
        <property name="configuration" ref="hornetqJmsConfig"/>
    </bean>
</beans>

And the last thing is to write your implementation of HornetqServerLocatorFactory. If you wish to configure HornetQ host and port from spring.xml, you can easily do it – just put them as members of the class and inject them via Spring.xml.

package com.example;

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

import org.hornetq.api.core.TransportConfiguration;
import org.hornetq.api.core.client.HornetQClient;
import org.hornetq.api.core.client.ServerLocator;
import org.hornetq.core.remoting.impl.netty.NettyConnectorFactory;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Configurable;

@Configurable
public class HornetqServerLocatorFactory {

	public ServerLocator createServerLocator() {
		final Map<String, Object> connectionParams = new HashMap<String, Object>();
		connectionParams.put( "port", "hornetq-host.com" );
		connectionParams.put( "host", 5900 );

		final TransportConfiguration transportConfiguration = new TransportConfiguration( NettyConnectorFactory.class.getName(), connectionParams );
		final ServerLocator serverLocator = HornetQClient.createServerLocatorWithoutHA( new TransportConfiguration[] { transportConfiguration } );
		return serverLocator;
	}
}

That’s it!
