DeprecationMediator

[Paul Fremantle]

Guys

I'm looking at the deprecation mediator. Great idea!

At the moment it drops any deprecated messages. I think there are two more useful approaches...

1. It sets a property, but lets the message flow on. Then a rule checks for the property and can, for example use <fault> to fault.
2. We could rewrite it as a plugin processor. In this model, it could have the "deprecation config" as a child element or attribute, and then there could be nested children are executed if the service is deprecated:

e.g.
<dep:deprecate>
  <deprecationConfig>
      ... config goes here
  </deprecationConfig>
  <fault> <!-- do this if deprecated -->
     <faultinfo...>
  </fault>
</dep:deprecate>
