This paper presents a simple and reliable design using the Neuron ESB Pipeline Designer and Runtime to resolve a common scatter-gather application integration problem described in the book “Enterprise Integration Patterns: Designing, Building, and Deploying Messaging Solutions” by Gregor Hohpe and Bobby Woolf. The Scatter Gather pattern is manifested when a requester sends an asynchronous request to a number of providers, who then send their replies asynchronously to the requester. A common use for this pattern is when a request for quote is received, and that request must be broadcast out to N number of providers for bid. Each provider will (or may) reply to the request with their respective bid. From there the replies are aggregated and the highest bidder may win.
