context: within a wmb 7.0.0.3 message flow, i need to call a soap endpoint and use the response from that service to drive calls other service providers. for example, the "accountService" returns information from 3 accounts (the number of accounts returned is variable based on args passed to the accountService). next, i need to call multiple soap endpoints once for each account returned from accountService. in this case, i have to call each provider 3 times. transactional behavior is not a must - if one of the downstream calls fails, i can continue processing until the loop cycle completes.

problem: it doesn't appear the collector node or aggregaterequest/control/reply node meets the requirement and i cannot find a node that supports this sort of "looping" pattern. any thoughts on an efficient way to pull this off? i'm considering use a compute node to cycle thru the account details but that means calling a soap service within a compute node, something i would prefer doing with soapRequest node (which i don't think you can call within a compute node).
