Hi paul;   +1 for that approach, return an int instead a boolean Thanks,  Deepal ................................................................ ~Future is Open~ ----- Original Message ----- From: Paul Fremantle To: synapse-dev@ws.apache.org Sent: Thursday, October 20, 2005 7:50 PM Subject: Re: Rule Engine / Dispatcher Ant, I was thinking that it would be up to the Engine whether to spawn a new thread or not. But I guess the point is if its a call rather than a return, that would be complex. On the other hand, I guess we could simply change the response from a boolean to an int e.g. public static final int CONTINUE=0, END=1, RESTART=2; etc That way the engine can decide whether to use a new thread or continue on the existing one. However, we shouldn't make assumptions about which thread a mediation is run on. Paul
