If you do request/reply with JMS during the same message processing, then you need to ensure the reply is sent back to the node that sent the request. This is done out of the box, unless you use replyToType=Exclusive. Exclusive assumes the request/reply is using an exclusive queue on the node. But you most likely don't need to do request/reply over JMS as the route originates from a FTP endpoint, which do not expect a reply message (unlike lets say a web service, where a caller would expect a reply). So maybe you can scale up using just route 1) FTP -> JMS request queue route 2) JMS reply queue -> print result service > > > > > > > -- > View this message in context: > http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Scalability-Multiple-containers-with-the-same-Camel-Context-tp5658343p5658343.html > Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Claus Ibsen ----------------- CamelOne 2012 Conference, May 15-16, 2012: http://camelone.com FuseSource Email: [email protected] Web: http://fusesource.com Twitter: davsclaus, fusenews Blog: http://davsclaus.blogspot.com/ Author of Camel in Action: http://www.manning.com/ibsen/
