A content-based router enables you to route messages to the appropriate destination, where the routing decision is based on the message contents. This pattern maps to the corresponding content-based router pattern in Apache Camel.
Example 14 shows how to
define a content-based router using the ServicMix EIP component.
If a test:echo element is present in
the message body, the message is routed to the
http://test/pipeline/endpoint endpoint.
Otherwise, the message is routed to the
test:recipients endpoint.
Example 14. ServiceMix EIP Content-based Route
<eip:content-based-router service="test:router" endpoint="endpoint">
<eip:rules>
<eip:routing-rule>
<eip:predicate>
<eip:xpath-predicate xpath="count(/test:echo) = 1" namespaceContext="#nsContext" />
</eip:predicate>
<eip:target>
<eip:exchange-target uri="endpoint:test:pipeline:endpoint" />
</eip:target>
</eip:routing-rule>
<eip:routing-rule>
<!-- There is no predicate, so this is the default destination -->
<eip:target>
<eip:exchange-target service="test:recipients" />
</eip:target>
</eip:routing-rule>
</eip:rules>
</eip:content-based-router>Example 15 shows how to define an equivalent route using Apache Camel XML configuration.
Example 15. Apache Camel Content-based Router Using XML Configuration
<route>
<from uri="jbi:endpoint:http://progress.com/demos/test/router/endpoint"/>
<choice>
<when>
<xpath>count(/test:echo) = 1</xpath>
<to uri="jbi:endpoint:http://progress.com/demos/test/pipeline/endpoint"/>
</when>
<otherwise>
<!-- This is the default destination -->
<to uri="jbi:service:http://progress.com/demos/test/recipients"/>
</otherwise>
</choice>
</route>Example 16 shows how to define an equivalent route using the Apache Camel Java DSL.
Example 16. Apache Camel Content-based Router Using Java DSL
from("jbi:endpoint:http://progress.com/demos/test/router/endpoint").
choice().when(xpath("count(/test:echo) = 1")).to("jbi:endpoint:http://progress.com/demos/test/pipeline/endpoint").
otherwise().to("jbi:service:http://progress.com/demos/test/recipients");
