Hi Claus, I just created https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-5320
Thanks again for your suggestions. I think for now I found how to rely on the clustering capabilities of my current tomcat sticky session deployments for load balancing. If the process is initiated from a regular http request or scheduled (quartz) I can trigger the routes which for now can run in just one JVM once they start. If I need more distributed load I will need to jump into inter JVM messaging (AMQP sounds good to me). BTW I have blogged about my solution to use Camel as Service Orchestrator in http://thinkinginsoftware.blogspot.com/2012/05/using-quartz-camel-and-spring-for.html, hopefully my journey will help others looking for simple solutions to big problems. Camel rocks! -Nestor -- View this message in context: http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Camel-FTP-SFTP-check-instead-of-download-tp5713363p5713744.html Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
