Hi Daniel,

I have got an idea how I could implement several services on one queue 
without too much problems.

The idea is to publish the services with a local endpoint only. Then I 
configure one additional endpoint on jms and write a custom invoker. The 
invoker figures out what local endpoint the request should go to and 
invokes it. Then it forwards the reply back to jms. It could find the 
correct endpoint either by analysing the namespace of the xml or by 
using ws addressing. The only thing is I do not know exactly how to 
implement this.

Is it better to do this in cxf directly or should I rather use camel for 
this? The jms and invoker part sounds to me like it could be done in 
camel quite nicely but I am not sure. Especially I do not know how to do 
synchronous things in camel.

Best regards

Christian
