Itinerary based workflows

Hi,
as far as I understand it, there are 3 options to implement workflows in an ESB.
1. an Orchestration engine such as ODE
2. manual configuration of routing rules with e.g. Camel
3. itineray based workflows, where the orchestration information is sort of attached to the messages and the BCs/SEs examine it themselves.

I'm particularily interested in the third approach but couldn't find any information on how this can be done in servicemix or JBI in general. So, any hints are welcome :-)

cheers, Johannes

Johannes,

have a look at servicemix-osworkflow. Maybe this would be a interesting option 
for you.

Regards
Lars

Johannes,

You could also use Camel's dynamic routing list 
(http://activemq.apache.org/camel/recipient-list.html) to route the 
message through a set of endpoints, where the list can be retrieved from 
either the message header or from the payload itself.

Regards,

Gert
