Raul Kripalani commented on CAMEL-325:
--------------------------------------

A few questions about the following code block:

from("file://foo").
  loop().xpath("/something = 'abc').
  to("blah");

- What EXACTLY would this do? Would it keep on sending the message to endpoint 
"blah" WHILE the XPath evaluates to true?
- What exactly is fed back to the xpath condition to re-evaluate the looping 
condition after every iteration? I mean, when would this become false?
- I'm not sure if the semantics of this construct are clear. I mean, is the 
looping done UNTIL the XPath evaluates to true? Or does it loop WHILE the XPath 
evaluates to true?

> support a loop operation in the routing DSL

> To essentially add a loop inside a route. Testing is the main use case for

> test case messages
> {code}
> from("file://foo").
>   loop(100).
>   bean(MyRandomizerTransform.class).
>   to("blah");
> {code}
