Description

The 'ignoreInvalidEndpoint' option for the WireTap component has no effect on the non-dynamic endpoints.

The worst thing is that there is no warning that the set option is going to be ignored.

I'm not sure about the design decision here, but from the user point of view it's confusing and not what one can expect.

 

My use case:

I defined a route configuration that by default does some processing of the intercepted messages and also sends them to a preconfigured endpoint. In my design this endpoint is optional and a route for it could be defined only if the default processing isn't enough. 

But because the endpoint URI is static and the 'ignoreInvalidEndpoint' has no effect, I get the messages stuck in-flight.
