Hi, I'm looking at ServiceMix for use in a project that mixes synchronous and asynchronous processes. In particular, we need to support a REST (ie via HTTP POST/GET) web service that gives synchronous results, even though the messaging internally (responsible for connecting to services that calculate those results) is asynchronous.
Since we may have several users connecting simultaneously this implies some kind of blocking within the "web service" front-end while the processing occurs, then associating the incoming result with the appropriate blocked connection via some correlative. It would be nice if ServiceMix automated this, supporting incoming REST connections and automating the routing/collation. Looking at the documentation I haven't found a description of anything that seems similar (the routing examples all seem to be "left to right" rather than "returning"). Can anyone shed some light on how easy this would be? Thanks, Andrew
