Hi Claus, with the usage of ScheduledBatchPollingConsumer and it's derivates inside routes there's an issue while doing context.stopRoute("myCoolRoute") as Camel tries to shutdown the route gracefully and as the mentioned class does:
if (answer == 0 && isPolling()) { // force at least one pending exchange if we are polling as there is a little gap // in the processBatch method and until an exchange gets enlisted as in-flight // which happens later, so we need to signal back to the shutdown strategy that // there is a pending exchange. When we are no longer polling, then we will return 0 LOG.trace("Currently polling so returning 1 as pending exchanges"); answer = 1; } it waits and waits until the (30 seconds) timeout reaches although no *real* inflight exchanges are available at all! I realized this behavior as I was trying to provide a working example for the user (you see already by this thread). However doing main.stop() (as by the upper example) did *not* behave like this! A possible fix (may be dirty) would be to check that if we already returned X times a hard-coded value of 1 then we should better return 0 instead to signal there's no real inflight exchange available.
