I am attempting to, using Camel, receive AMQP messages from RabbitMQ and pass them into a Drools Fusion engine.  As my starting point I have a 4 line bit of Java code that instantiates Camel and passes it the camel XML pasted below.  Is it apparent to anyone where I've gone wrong that I receive a NPE while the system is calling the init method for 'node1'?
