What is the purpose of the create parameter on MessageComposer.compose() ?

I think it's only there to support using MessageComposer for camel implementations (mapping between SY exchange and Camel exchange).  If so, we should remove this extra parameter as part of removing the message composer hooks for camel implementations.

public Message compose(D source, Exchange exchange, boolean create) throws Exception;

Should be this, IMHO:

public Message compose(D source, Exchange exchange) throws Exception;

I agree.  It's used in 14 places right now, all of which pass in true, except the one place that you mentioned.

Excellent.  Thanks for the quick confirmation, David.

I was thinking about this few times during refactor. Glad to see it's gonna be removed.
