An Example Integration

We (headwire) had the pleasure of speaking at CIRCUIT 2016 on a new architecture for indexing AEM content and external content using ActiveMQ, Apache Camel and Solr. Our slides are available on SlideShare. The demo code for indexing both products and AEM content are available on GitHub.
