I am not getting your question. Are both webservices part of a single transaction ? I.e do you have one from clause and two to clauses? I am new to Camel. Hope below helps
Have you looked at http://camel.apache.org/transactionerrorhandler.html And its features? As the TransactionErrorHandler also supports to let Camel do redeliveries you can use both worlds. Letting Camel do some redeliveries and at the end the backing transaction manager doing other redeliveries. In fact in the end the transaction manager have the final word. That means if Camel cannot process the exchange then its thrown back to the transaction manager that will perform the rollback, and redelivery Example with using Camel to do redeliveries: In the route below we have configured a transaction error handler. It will by default do local redeliveries up till 6 times. In Case Camel could not redeliver the message it will be thrown back to the transaction manager that will do a rollback, and a redelivery if it was configured to do so. Notice that as we have all the powers from DefaultErrorHandler we can configure an onException where we state that in case of this particular exception, an IllegalArgumentException we will only do redeliveries up till 4 times. (Yes the code is based on an unit test). And also notice that we mark the routes as transacted using transacted. This is always needed to instruct Camel that these routes are transacted. If you do not provide any Spring TransactionTemplate to either the transactionErrorHandler, then Camel will automatic lookup in the Spring application context for a transaction manager to use. See more in the Convention over configuration section on this page. -----Original Message----- From: dunnlow [mailto:dunn...@yahoo.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2012 10:05 PM To: users@camel.apache.org Subject: Transacting two web services - EIP? Hello, I am using camel 2.9 and Spring 3. I have a transacted route in which I am pulling messages from a queue (activemq) and sending messages to two web services (via multicast). The web services are notification services that send messages to users (there is no real roll back strategy - once the notification is sent, it is sent). When I only needed to send to one service, things worked fine; if the service couldn't be reached for some reason, then the transacted route would keep resending until successful. The problem came up once I added a second web service. Now if one web service fails, the retry goes back to both services so the working services keeps sending out notifications until the one that isn't working gets fixed. Obviously, I'd like ONLY the broken service to keep retrying (pulling the one that worked out of the transaction). Is there a good/standard way to handle this in camel? (Obviously I can handle it myself outside camel, but am hoping for a camel/spring specific solution) Thanks for any ideas, -J -- View this message in context: http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Transacting-two-web-services-EIP-tp5722673.html Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
