Does switchyard support Robust In-Only Messaging Pattern?

[luisdeltoro]

I'm trying to do an integration test that includes the switchyard validators.

In this case my services are bean implemented services made out of void methods, therefore in-only services. As a result of the test, when a validation fails there is no way I can figure out that this when wrong, as the only reaction that Switchyard provides is an stack trace in debug level coming from the FaultProcessor class.

I was wondering if Switchyard supports Robust In-Only messaging pattern or if it's planned for the near future.

Thanks in advance!

There are two types of errors/faults in SY:

- Application errors which are declared in the service contract (e.g. throws InvalidOrderException)

- Runtime errors which are generated during processing (e.g. validation or transformation errors)

IMO, Robust In-Only is for cases where you want to report an application error but there is no expected success response.  This is not on the schedule for SY 1.0.

SWITCHYARD-1534 involves propagating runtime errors back to the consumer as part of an in-only exchange and that is on the schedule for 1.0.

Yes, it does.

Thanks Keith.
