The static routing slip pattern in the ServiceMix EIP component is used to route an InOut message exchange through a series of endpoints. Semantically, it is equivalent to the pipeline pattern in Apache Camel.

Example 32 shows how to define a static routing slip using the ServiceMix EIP component. Incoming messages pass through each of the endpoints, test:procA, test:procB, and test:procC, where the output of each endpoint is connected to the input of the next endpoint in the chain. The final endpoint, test:procC, sends its output (Out message) back to the caller.

<eip:static-routing-slip service="test:routingSlip"
                         endpoint="endpoint">
  <eip:targets>
    <eip:exchange-target service="test:procA" />
    <eip:exchange-target service="test:procB" />
    <eip:exchange-target service="test:procC" />
  </eip:targets>
</eip:static-routing-slip>

Example 33 shows how to define an equivalent route using Apache Camel XML configuration.

<route>
  <from uri="jbi:endpoint:http://progress.com/demos/test/routingSlip/endpoint"/>
  <to uri="jbi:service:http://progress.com/demos/test/procA"/>
  <to uri="jbi:service:http://progress.com/demos/test/procB"/>
  <to uri="jbi:service:http://progress.com/demos/test/procC"/>
</route>

Example 34 shows how to define an equivalent route using the Apache Camel Java DSL.

from("jbi:endpoint:http://progress.com/demos/test/routingSlip/endpoint").
    pipeline("jbi:service:http://progress.com/demos/test/procA",
             "jbi:service:http://progress.com/demos/test/procB",
             "jbi:service:http://progress.com/demos/test/procC");
