Claus Ibsen commented on CAMEL-3855: ------------------------------------ No thats frankly not intuitive, to aggregate using a constant expression, and all into a list. If you read the EIP book then thats not the point they explain about the pattern. There are many other uses cases where you must aggregate by a correlation key part of the message and so forth. The current solution to ensure the end user specify the - correlation expression - aggregation strategy - completion conditions Works the best as there are no surprises with defaults and what not. The end user configure the EIP according to their needs. > make aggregate() easier to use for the common case > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CAMEL-3855 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-3855 > Project: Camel > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: camel-core > Reporter: Ben O'Day > Assignee: Ben O'Day > Priority: Minor > Attachments: CAMEL-3855.patch > > > Currently, an expression and strategy are required to use aggregate(). > Perhaps, we could set a default expression (constant(true), etc) and strategy > (either groupExchanges() or the attached AggregateAsListStrategy, etc). > For example, either of these could make a good intuitive default (still > requiring a completionSize/Interval, etc) > aggregate() == aggregate(constant(true)).groupExchanges() > or > aggregate() == aggregate(constant(true), new AggregateAsListStrategy()) > See this discussion for more > information....http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Default-Behavior-for-aggregate-td4296790.html -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
