Hi Yes this is possible. The solution is to use a queue where you "split" the request. You can use a JMS queue or a the SEDA queues that Camel has out-of-the-box. http://activemq.apache.org/camel/seda.html
The transform DSL is used for setting the OUT body = the response to the original caller. Here is an example of such a scenariou. I have build a unit test to demonstrate this: public void testSendAsync() throws Exception { MockEndpoint mock = getMockEndpoint("mock:result"); mock.expectedBodiesReceived("Hello World"); Object out = template.requestBody("direct:start", "Hello World"); assertEquals("OK", out); assertMockEndpointsSatisfied(); } @Override protected RouteBuilder createRouteBuilder() throws Exception { return new RouteBuilder() { public void configure() throws Exception { from("direct:start") // send it to the seda queue that is async .to("seda:next") // return a constant response .transform(constant("OK")); from("seda:next").to("mock:result"); } }; } Med venlig hilsen Claus Ibsen ......................................

I need to implement the following routing scenario: HTTP Consumer BC ---> Camel ---> Transformation --> HTTP Provider BC /|\ | |______________ | Basically, I receive a SOAP request through an HTTP endpoint in ServiceMix and it gets directed to Camel. As soon as Camel receives it, it should immediately return back a fixed response (<Response>OK</Response>), and then it should invoke an XSLT Transformer, and should finally send the transformed message to the HTTP Provider. I am OK with the bit where I have to use a pipeline, but I don't understand how to return the response half-way through the routing flow. Could someone help me with this, please? Thanks a lot! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Synchronous-asynchronous-bridge-tp19415072s22882p19415072.html Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
