I use camel 2.8.0 with servicemix4.3. I set up a dynamic router by camel-context.xml. as follows: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation=" http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.0.xsd http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring/camel-spring.xsd">

Return null to indicate the end. if (started.get()) { if (exchange.hasOut()) { return null; } if (types != null && types.size() > 0 && bizType != null) { WrapperMessageBizType mbt = types.get(bizType); if (mbt != null && mbt.getSaIds() != null && mbt.getSaIds().size() > 0) { exchange.getIn().setHeader(MessageHeader.CW_INNER_MSG_BIZ_URI, mbt.getUri()); return gatewayUri; } } } return storeUri; } It finish selecting one approach(gatewayUri or storeUri) But I debug the camel-su. When (gatewayUri or storeUri) downflow components return an exchange with out message(it contains body and headers), camel ignore headers and think the body is next uri in BeanExpress. Is it a bug?? Camel should return the exchange to upflow component(http) in servicemix. BeanExpress code: org.apache.camel.language.bean.BeanExpression line 161-163 resultExchange.setPattern(ExchangePattern.InOut); processor.process(resultExchange); result = resultExchange.getOut().getBody(); In line 163, resultExchange is ok. It contains In Message and Out Message returned by downflow components in servicemix. The out Message has headers and body. but 163, camel bean expression only cares about the body of out message and ignore headers of out message. How can I use dynamic router in camel. It can return entirely exchange from downflow components to upflow component. thank you very much!
