This is a common pattern I've seen before. It's not practical to have persistent queues/topics with each update to the database table being stored due to the transient nature of the consumer population (number of consumers is variable and their liveliness has no pattern). As Mark points out you need to subscribe to updates, buffer them, get the current 'view of the world' from the authoritative source (ie the database) and then let the updates flow in - potentially discarding duplicates at the start which were already in the image due to the timing. So in camel how can we start a 'route' so that it registers the subscription but 'pause' it whilst we get the table? It seems like we might need three routes and some funky 'on/off' tap logic. I don't see an EIP that supports this. Nigel
