So, I have a number of services. Each service handles a type of unique Request. However, the service needs to "examine" the request before knowing if it can service it. The client want's the request serviced, but does not care to know who did the servicing.
I was thinking of using (ActiveMQ virtual) topic Camel's Request/Reply pattern http://camel.apache.org/request-reply.html to implement this interaction (because the client is waiting on a reply), but I am not sure how to consume the message without returning a response. Specifically, a service may realized that it cannot handle the Request it has just received. This may not even be the best approach to solving this issue, so any comments on better approaches are welcome. Thanks. -AP_
