In general, I would avoid writing business logic by using interceptors and all this low level Camel API.
In your example, you can either use the Recipient List with a customized Aggregation strategy that keeps the Exchange that reports the person's info or use the Dynamic Router and stop the web service querying when the person's info is found. With the recipient list, however, you always query all the web services even if you get your reply already.
