The aggregated exchange is the one that gets returned and how the aggregated exchange is created depends on the aggregation strategy you use. When a route stops either by calling stop or merely not routing anymore, the exchange on the last part of the route could be considered a reply. In most cases it will reply back to the caller (unless you set a reply-to destination in a JMS based route or some other cases). In your case if all you want to do is return the enriched exchange then you dont need any to() call. Just stop after the marshal.
