It depends on the consumer. Some supports a request/response pattern. For example a web server, where a HTTP client send a request to the web server, and the web server sends back a response. The FIX consumer may support that as well, if a client is to do a request/reply. In those cases you just do from X filter to Y marshal to Z So the idiom is that when the route "ends" then the consumer gets control back and can send back the reply message, based on what the message currently has been set as. > Thanks > > Pablo > > -- > View this message in context: > http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Translate-FIX-message-to-HTTP-request-tp4492401p4599664.html > Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > -- Claus Ibsen ----------------- FuseSource Email: [email protected] Web: http://fusesource.com Twitter: davsclaus, fusenews Blog: http://davsclaus.blogspot.com/ Author of Camel in Action: http://www.manning.com/ibsen/
