I thought for sure I read the Jira issue for adding a while loop since I too had to figure out that work around, but I'll be darned if I can find the Jira issue now.
I found a post from last year where Claus said, "There is a JIRA to make the loop like a while loop so we can use a predicate to know if we should continue looping or not. So someday in a future Camel release you can do it." Perhaps that is what I am thinking of, but I cannot find the Jira that Claus is referring to. The concept for adding it is very simple. The one detail to work out is you need to support while and do-while (whether the predicate is checked before the first iteration or not).
