Hi

You should generally use the user mailing list for questions on Camel.
Do you mind posting your mail again there?

As temporary solution I've implemented a routine which puts a case-id in the header of the message if no correlation-id is known or use the case-id if there is a correlation-id. My tests has shown that the first message has no correlation-id (incrementing a class variable), all following has one. I'm not sure if this rule for every possible situation holds.
