I'm not sure this is possible without changing the API of the conduit which 
isn't something we can due to compatibility with out of tree transports.  
(mule, smx, etc...)   If you can do it, great.   :-)

There isn't a place for it.   If this is JMS only, you can just use any key 
you want.   Define a string in JMSConduit like:
JMSConduit.class.getName() + ".correlationId"
or similar and set that on the message/exchange and retrieve it later.

This is done via ws-addressing which puts the correlation information into the 
ws-addressing headers and such and the ws-addressing interceptors handle 
those correlation things.

Sure, as long as it doesn't HAVE to always use those things.   :-)
