Possible implementations include performing some kind of combining or delta processing, such as adding line items together into an invoice or just using the newest exchange and removing old exchanges such as for state tracking or market data prices; where old values are of little use.</p><p>Notice the aggregation strategy is a mandatory option and must be provided to the aggregator.</p><p>Here are a few example AggregationStrategy implementations that should help you create your own custom strategy.</p><div class="code panel pdl" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="codeContent panelContent pdl">

From <strong>Camel 2.12</strong> onwards you can use a POJO for the logic and let Camel adapt to your POJO. To use a POJO a convention must be followed:</p><ul class="alternate"><li>there must be a public method to use</li><li>the method must not be void</li><li>the method can be static or non-static</li><li>the method must have 2 or more parameters</li><li>the parameters is paired so the first 50% is applied to the <code>oldExchange</code> and the reminder 50% is for the <code>newExchange</code></li><li>.. meaning that there must be an equal number of parameters, eg 2, 4, 6 etc.</li></ul><p>The paired methods is expected to be ordered as follows:</p><ul class="alternate"><li>the first parameter is the message body</li><l
 i>the 2nd parameter is a Map of the headers</li><li>the 3rd parameter is a Map of the Exchange properties</li></ul><p>This convention is best explained with some examples.</p><p>In the method below, we have only 2 parameters, so the 1st parameter is the body of the <code>oldExchange</code>, and the 2nd is paired to the body of the <code>newExchange</code>:</p><div class="code panel pdl" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="codeContent panelContent pdl">
