I have a similar requirement but only difference is I do have a message to
send but I expect replies in asyncronous fashion. so I would vote for
suggested feature.

Though it is not elegant I am thinking of using this solution for now, may
be it will work for you also and just send a blank message.

may be you can have a timer consumer instead of file below.

                from("file:///test/test/response") 
                .convertBodyTo(String.class).threads(1) 
               
.to("mina:tcp://localhost:6202?sync=false&textline=true&filters=#listFilters"); 
                
                from("vm:response") 
                .to("log:+++ reply++++"); 

public class MessageFilter extends IoFilterAdapter { 
    @Produce(uri = "vm:response") 
    ProducerTemplate producer; 
            @Override 
            public void messageReceived(NextFilter nextFilter, IoSession
session, 
                    Object message) throws Exception { 
                if (message instanceof String) { 
                producer.sendBody(message); 
                    } 
                
                nextFilter.messageReceived(session, message); 
            } 
        
}
