Hello Christian,

Firstly I thought about some kind of indirect dependency on camel, but I suppose that such
an indirection will complicate the component with copying of headers, bodies, properties,
etc. from and to a camel exchange in case of duplication of camel exchange api
(lightweight analogues of camel exchanges).

The self contained interface will be provided as some kind of additional module of the component,
so there will be a dependency on the component and in my opinion there is no a big difference
between depending on the camel api or the camel component api.

What do you think about something like a bean binding (http://camel.apache.org/bean-binding.html)
from the consumer side? In that case almost any interface can be used as published OSGi service to
process exchanges.

Regards,
Sergey
