023 * A strategy capable of applying interceptors to a processor.
024 * <p/>
025 * Its <b>strongly</b> advised to use an {@link org.apache.camel.AsyncProcessor} as the returned wrapped
026 * {@link Processor} which ensures the policy works well with the asynchronous routing engine.
027 * You can use the {@link org.apache.camel.processor.DelegateAsyncProcessor} to easily return an
028 * {@link org.apache.camel.AsyncProcessor} and override the
029 * {@link org.apache.camel.AsyncProcessor#process(org.apache.camel.Exchange, org.apache.camel.AsyncCallback)} to
030 * implement your interceptor logic. And just invoke the super method to <b>continue</b> routing.
031 * <p/>
032 * Mind that not all frameworks supports asynchronous routing, for example some transaction managers, such as
033 * Spring Transaction uses the current thread to store state of the transaction, and thus can't transfer this
034 * state to other threads when routing continues asynchronously.
