OK, I'm guess that we're talking about different things then? So I'm not
sure I understand your question any more. I was saying that rather depending
on this code:

  private boolean isPartialResponse(Message in) {
       return in.getContent(List.class) == null
              && getException(in.getExchange()) == null;
   }

we should explicitly set a property REDISPATCHED. So the code in
ClientImpl.onMessage becomes:

if (!Boolean.TRUE.equals(message.get(REDISPATCHED)) {
  message.getExchange().put(FINISHED, Boolean.TRUE);
  message.getExchange().setInMessage(message);
  message.getExchange().notifyAll();
}

And that gets around the problem of having to look for List content. All
that needs to be done is setting of the REDISPATCHED property when we know
we have a message destined for the RM service (i.e. a CreateSequence).

That would work with non-anonymous replyTo's just fine. Whatever component redirects the message is responsible for setting the redispatched parameter.
Maybe I am misunderstanding what you're talking about though?


I am talking about processing a partial response to an APPLICATION message - not messages destined for an RM endpoint (i.e. not CreateSequence, CreateSequenceResponse, TerminateSequence etc. messages). A partial response is sent by addressing so that RM interceptors, IF they happen to be on the chain, can contribute/read Acknowlegement headers . But addressing itself does not and should not have any knowledge of whether RM is involved - it always sends a partial response for twoways with non-anonymous ReplyTo, or oneways. These partial responses really are essentially plain HTTP responses with response code ACCEPTED, except that in some cases they need to be blown up into real soap messages with headers but without a body. For that reason the partial response is run through the interceptor chain so that RM interceptors can contribute/interprete these headers. It may turn out that RM interceptors actually have nothing to add to the message (that depends on the acknowledgement policies in place), but the point is that neither the transports nor the addressing interceptors can know this up-front. In such a case the partial response currently is an soap envelope with an empty headers and body element - it was discussed before to not marshal the envelope in such a case either. The partial response would then in fact be a plain HTTP response.
I hope this is a bit clearer?

No, this has nothing to do with RM - it would be a problem whenever we
use addressing with a non-anonymous ReplyTo. Granted, RM is the only
component tyhat actually has an interest in partial responses, but we'd
have to send them anyway as we'd need some form of http response.
