Hi,

I noticed that if eventDrivenProcessors contains only one processor, IN message 
is not copied to OUT even when exchange pattern is InOut while it does if it 
contains multiple processors.

eventDrivenProcessors are wrapped with Pipeline here when initiating a camel 
route here:
https://github.com/apache/camel/blob/master/camel-core/src/main/java/org/apache/camel/impl/DefaultRouteContext.java#L161

But if there's only one event driven processor, the processor itself is used 
instead of wrapping with Pipeline:
https://github.com/apache/camel/blob/master/camel-core/src/main/java/org/apache/camel/processor/Pipeline.java#L57

Pipeline copies the IN message to OUT if it's InOut and OUT message doesn't 
exist:
https://github.com/apache/camel/blob/master/camel-core/src/main/java/org/apache/camel/processor/Pipeline.java#L107

So the IN->OUT copy happens only if multiple processors exist. It means that 
whether the response message is returned as OUT or IN depends on if the route 
results in single processor or not. I think it looks a bit confusing and wondering 
if we can just wrap it with the Pipleline even if there's single processor. Is 
there any undesirable side effect to doing that?

Thanks,
Tomo
