title: Does camel create a thread for each route
body: <p>Recently i have started using camel and i see that it potentially addresses a lot of my integration layer needs.</p>
  
  <p>I have created a java client application (not running in any container) where i defined two routes:</p>
  
  <p>route1: move a file from an incoming folder1 to folder2</p>
  
  <p>route2: move file content from folderx to mq queue.</p>
  
  <p>I start my application and these routes are doing their job polling those folders and routing messages accordingly.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone explain me how the routes work. Does camel(context) create a thread for each route. What exactly happens?</p>
  
  <p>Note: I could not find a straightforward notes on this on the camel site.</p>
