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

> 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())

> information....http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Default-Behavior-for-aggregate-td4296790.html
