VariableTypeDescription
exchangeIdStringThe exchange's ID value.
idStringThe In message ID value.
body Object

The In message body. Supports OGNL expressions.

in.bodyObjectThe In message body. Supports OGNL expressions.
out.body Object

The Out message body.

bodyAs(Type)TypeThe In message body, converted to the specified type. All types, Type, must be specified using their fully-qualified Java name, except for the types: byte[], String, Integer, and Long. The converted body can be null.
mandatoryBodyAs(Type)TypeThe In message body, converted to the specified type. All types, Type, must be specified using their fully-qualified Java name, except for the types: byte[], String, Integer, and Long. The converted body is expected to be non-null.
header.HeaderNameObject

The In message's HeaderName header. Supports OGNL expressions.

header[HeaderName]Object

The In message's HeaderName header (alternative syntax).

headers.HeaderNameObjectThe In message's HeaderName header.
headers[HeaderName]ObjectThe In message's HeaderName header (alternative syntax).
in.header.HeaderNameObjectThe In message's HeaderName header. Supports OGNL expressions.
in.header[HeaderName]ObjectThe In message's HeaderName header (alternative syntax).
in.headers.HeaderNameObjectThe In message's HeaderName header. Supports OGNL expressions.
in.headers[HeaderName]ObjectThe In message's HeaderName header (alternative syntax).
out.header.HeaderName Object

The Out message's HeaderName header.

out.header[HeaderName]Object

The Out message's HeaderName header (alternative syntax).

out.headers.HeaderNameObjectThe Out message's HeaderName header.
out.headers[HeaderName]ObjectThe Out message's HeaderName header (alternative syntax).
headerAs(Key,Type)TypeThe Key header, converted to the specified type. All types, Type, must be specified using their fully-qualified Java name, except for the types: byte[], String, Integer, and Long. The converted value can be null.
headersMapAll of the In headers (as a java.util.Map type).
in.headersMapAll of the In headers (as a java.util.Map type).
property.PropertyName Object

The PropertyName property on the exchange.

property[PropertyName]Object

The PropertyName property on the exchange (alternative syntax).

sys.SysPropertyNameStringThe SysPropertyName Java system property.
sysenv.SysEnvVarStringThe SysEnvVar system environment variable.
exceptionStringEither the exception object from Exchange.getException() or, if this value is null, the caught exception from the Exchange.EXCEPTION_CAUGHT property; otherwise null. Supports OGNL expressions.
exception.messageStringIf an exception is set on the exchange, returns the value of Exception.getMessage(); otherwise, returns null.
exception.stacktraceStringIf an exception is set on the exchange, returns the value of Exception.getStackTrace(); otherwise, returns null. Note: The simple language first tries to retrieve an exception from Exchange.getException(). If that property is not set, it checks for a caught exception, by calling Exchange.getProperty(Exchange.CAUGHT_EXCEPTION).
date:command:patternStringA date formatted using a java.text.SimpleDateFormat pattern. The following commands are supported: now, for the current date and time; header.HeaderName, or in.header.HeaderName to use a java.util.Date object in the HeaderName header from the In message; out.header.HeaderName to use a java.util.Date object in the HeaderName header from the Out message;
bean:beanID.MethodObjectInvokes a method on the referenced bean and returns the result of the method invocation. To specify a method name, you can either use the beanID.Method syntax; or you can use the beanID?method=methodName syntax.
ref:beanIDObjectLooks up the bean with the ID, beanID, in the registry and returns a reference to the bean itself. For example, if you are using the splitter EIP, you could use this variable to reference the bean that implements the splitting algorithm.
properties:KeyStringThe value of the Key property placeholder (see Property Placeholders in Implementing Enterprise Integration Patterns).
properties:Location:KeyStringThe value of the Key property placeholder, where the location of the properties file is given by Location (see Property Placeholders in Implementing Enterprise Integration Patterns).
threadNameStringThe name of the current thread.
