Thank you Matthias for your answers. The mailing list that you linked shows a solution using the Processor API.
Actually, the set of subtypes is not known in advance this is why I need to compute output topics from messages. So the branch method is of any help in my context. I think, this feature should be supported by the DSL as the Processor API solution is not completely safe. 2016-10-18 10:01 GMT+02:00 Damian Guy <[email protected]>: > Hi Florian, > > Do you know the set of subtypes in advance?
