I have a series of camel routes.

I try to explain.

route 1 : Poll a directory, make some validation on the file found and move file (one or more) to a working directory (specific for each file which start the process). I put the specific working directory in a property of the exchange and send to a queue with transferExchange to keep the property of the exchange.

route 2 : read from the previous queue, split with custom pojo (unzip and create a list of file unzipped). On each splitted element, i make some job (create command message for an external application) and send to a queue with transferExchange to keep the property of the original exchange and the property of the split process (camelSplitComplete).

route 3 : read from the previous queue, process the command message (the external application create some files in the working directory and respond only with the master filename created) and aggregate the result based on camelSplitComplete.

Do you have a better solution ?

Thanks in advance

If i understand correctly, i put my properties in the headers of the message.

OK i try but where the split put the properties ? In the doc, i see in the exchange. How i can retrieve the property camelSplitComplete ?

thanks in advance

OK but I have one more question. It's not easy for me to know the best destination (exchange property or message header) for some properties. Do you have maybe a documentation which explain the aim of the two element.

If i read the doc, i see sometimes the properties are set in the message headers like file component, sometime in exchange properties like split eip. Why we put the properties in different location ? How you decide the best position ? Have you some idea to realize the best choice ?

In my case, i have three routes. I have three exchange (one by route). Is it correct ?

Thanks in advance

Thanks a lot for your time
