Hi, When sending a request to publish a tweet to the Twitter API, the response will contain the "the unique identifier of the published tweet" (tweet id). Our application needs to store such tweet IDs and associate them with application-specific entities.
We are fairly new with Apache Camel but as far as we have been to find out, the current "twitter://timeline/user" endpoint implementation (in the UserProducer class, see [1]) disregards the response object received from the Twitter4J library which contains (among others) the unique status update id (tweet id). We have implemented support for the InOut message exchange pattern which allows to process the response object received from the Twitter API when publishing a tweet and created a JIRA issue with the patch and unit tests: CAMEL-5479: Add support for the InOut Message Exchange Pattern to the twitter UserProducer in order to be able to retrieve the unique identifier for the published tweet https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-5479 This allows access to the Twitter API response object when using the InOut MEP in a route: from("direct:tweets") ... .inOut("twitter://timeline/user") .transform().simple("The tweet '${body.text}' was published with the tweet id '${body.id}'") ...
