* During processing down the {@link Processor} chain, the {@link Exchange} provides access to the * current (not the original) request and response {@link Message} messages. The {@link Exchange} * also holds meta-data during its entire lifetime stored as properties accessible using the * various {@link #getProperty(String)} methods. The {@link #setProperty(String, Object)} is * used to store a property. For example you can use this to store security, SLA related * data or any other information deemed useful throughout processing. If an {@link Exchange} * failed during routing the {@link Exception} that caused the failure is stored and accessible * via the {@link #getException()} method. *

* An Exchange is created when a {@link Consumer} receives a request. A new {@link Message} is * created, the request is set as the body of the {@link Message} and depending on the {@link Consumer} * other {@link Endpoint} and protocol related information is added as headers on the {@link Message}. * Then an Exchange is created and the newly created {@link Message} is set as the in on the Exchange. * Therefore an Exchange starts its life in a {@link Consumer}. The Exchange is then sent down the * {@link Route} for processing along a {@link Processor} chain. The {@link Processor} as the name * suggests is what processes the {@link Message} in the Exchange and Camel, in addition to * providing out-of-the-box a large number of useful processors, it also allows you to create your own. * The rule Camel uses is to take the out {@link Message} produced by the previous {@link Processor} * and set it as the in for the next {@link Processor}. If the previous {@link Processor} did not * produce an out, then the in of the previous {@link Processor} is sent as the next in. At the * end of the processing chain, depending on the {@link ExchangePattern Message Exchange Pattern} (or MEP) * the last out (or in of no out available) is sent by the {@link Consumer} back to the original caller. *

* Camel, in addition to providing out-of-the-box a large number of useful processors, it also allows * you to implement and use your own. When the Exchange is passed to a {@link Processor}, it always * contains an in {@link Message} and no out {@link Message}. The {@link Processor} may produce * an out, depending on the nature of the {@link Processor}. The in {@link Message} can be accessed * using the {@link #getIn()} method. Since the out message is null when entering the {@link Processor}, * the {@link #getOut()} method is actually a convenient factory method that will lazily instantiate a * {@link org.apache.camel.impl.DefaultMessage} which you could populate. As an alternative you could * also instantiate your specialized {@link Message} and set it on the exchange using the * {@link #setOut(org.apache.camel.Message)} method. Please note that a {@link Message} contains not only * the body but also headers and attachments. If you are creating a new {@link Message} the headers and * attachments of the in {@link Message} are not automatically copied to the out by Camel and you'll have * to set the headers and attachments you need yourself. If your {@link Processor} is not producing a * different {@link Message} but only needs to slightly modify the in, you can simply update the in * {@link Message} returned by {@link #getIn()}. *

* See this FAQ entry * for more details. * */ public interface Exchange { String AUTHENTICATION = "CamelAuthentication"; String AUTHENTICATION_FAILURE_POLICY_ID = "CamelAuthenticationFailurePolicyId";
