Marco Zapletal commented on CAMEL-6420: --------------------------------------- Another possibility would be that users can provide their custom MDCUnitOfWork implementiation either via SPI or by configuring the camel context on startup. I have seen that the UnitOfWork interface is located in a package named spi - but as far as I have learned the Java SPI mechanism is not yet leveraged, or? > Custom context id for MDC logging > --------------------------------- > > Key: CAMEL-6420 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-6420 > Project: Camel > Issue Type: Wish > Components: camel-core > Reporter: Marco Zapletal > Priority: Minor > > The Camel MDC feature is really great. However, we would like to use our own > context id (i.e., a Camel header) instead of the ones available out of the > box. So far as I have seen, there are no configuration options to do so.
