I'm not trying to add any headers to the file when reading and
writing...I'm just adding them to the Camel Exchange so that when the file
is written in my Processor I have some 'metadata' about the file. I need
the 'metadata' so I know where to write the file. I get the bytes to write
from the exchange it seems only natural to get the 'metadata' from the same
exchange. Why does Camel throw the headers away? I'm pretty new to
Camel...not sure how to add a custom message transformation...any examples
of that?
Btw, I have no need for the header information after I write the file in my
processor...only before.
