Fantastic this looks great. I have created a ticket to track it https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/CAMEL-2902 Also there is another ticket with a related feature for the Spring DMLC to handle the JMS ACKs yourself. https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/CAMEL-2729 So I think in Camel 2.5 we should be able to work on supporting async TX as well at some level. >> Almost all the EIP patterns in Camel have been refactored to support >> async routing engine as well.
