Name
Multicast — Routes a message to a number of endpoints
Usage
The multicast pattern routes a message to multiple endpoints without modifying the message. Each endpoint gets a copy of the same message. In the event that the route's exchange pattern is in-out, the multicast pattern aggregates the responses into a single message.
The multicast pattern can appear at any point in the body of a route. It must be followed by two or more destinations.
