Recursive Calls and CXF

[Achim Nierbeck]

Hi,

I'm using Camel 2.8 in conjunction with camel-cxf.

Now I have the following scenario.

I have 2 specialized .NET services which do server me the following two services

- doSomeSpecialHandling
-- this is a rather lengthy process running which returns right after
start and keeps on processing

- checkStatus
-- checks if the other process is still running


For the second service I have a speicalized route which looks like this:


                <camel:route id="checkRoute">
                        <camel:from uri="direct:checkRoute" />
                        <camel:setBody>
                                <camel:mvel>[ ]</camel:mvel>
                        </camel:setBody>
                        <camel:doTry>
                                <camel:recipientList parallelProcessing="true">
                                        
<camel:simple>cxf:bean:productionServer?address=${header.address}&amp;wrappedStyle=true</camel:simple>
                                </camel:recipientList>
                                <camel:choice>
                                        <camel:when>
                                                <camel:mvel>
                                                <![CDATA[request.body[0] != 
'Success' && request.body[0] !=
'Failure' && request.body[0] != 'Unknown']]>
                                        </camel:mvel>
                                                <delay>
                                                        
<constant>5000</constant>
                                                </delay>
                                                <camel:to 
uri="direct:checkRoute" />
                                        </camel:when>
                                </camel:choice>
                                <camel:doCatch>
                                        
<camel:exception>java.lang.Exception</camel:exception>
                                        <camel:to uri="direct:handleException" 
/>
                                </camel:doCatch>
                        </camel:doTry>
                </camel:route>

This Route runs recursively, after a while if the underlying system
takes to long, I'll run into a problem cause the stack runs full due
to the recursive calls.
Is there a way of looping with an unknown end? Cause the looping
component only loops for n-iterations where n needs to be known
beforehand. Basically I'm trying to
do a while(condition) loop with camel :)

Any Idea is welcome.

Thanks, Achim
