Does camel-xmpp support the request reply pattern?

[Sean Parsons <se...@futurenotfound.com>]

I'm just experimenting with camel-xmpp, but it seems a bit like it 
doesn't support request reply like most of the other endpoints.  The use 
case that this is causing me some grief with writing a bot using the 
endpoint, so that the user sends a message to the bot and the response 
comes back in the same conversation.

Has anyone else got any examples of doing something similar?

Thanks,
Sean.

I dont think this is supported out of the box with the camel-xmpp component.
I think its based on InOnly, eg send a message to a chat room.

If you need to wait for a reply, then there must be some logic which
can correlate / filter messages and trigger when the right reply came.
I can see the idea of sending to a bot and it replies back, so you can
kinda send a CMD and have the bot reply response.

Should be possible to implement and then have for example a Predicate
to determine when the correlated message came back.
And maybe the XMPP API has some headers/properties you can set so the
bot can use to set a correlation id.
