As of now tokenizer does not evaluate properties/expression, so you have to pass string value.
I am curious to know if one can refer/access current exchange object while defining the route. If that is possible then something like this will work in your case. from("direct:start").split().tokenize(header("tokenheader").evaluate(exchange, type) ,2)...... -Ravi ________________________________________ From: Costash [costache_v_v...@yahoo.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 29, 2014 7:07 PM To: users@camel.apache.org Subject: TokenizeXML by value from message header Hi, I'm trying to tokenize (by grouping) a body of a message based on a values from message header. The value from message header differs from one message to another. But it is not working. Is this not supported by camel? or should be done in a specific way? I've tried different ways. ( int groupSize = 10 ) Case1: .split().tokenizeXML("${headers.myTagHeader}" , groupSize) Result: Illegal repetition near index 13 <(.{1,15}?:|)${headers.myTagHeader}(\s+.*?|)> Case2: .process(new Processor() { @Override public void process(Exchange exchange) throws Exception { exchange.setProperty("myTagHeaderInExchange", exchange.getIn().getHeader("myTagHeader")); } }) .split().tokenizeXML(header("myTagHeaderInExchange").toString() , groupSize) Result: Illegal repetition near index 18 <(.{1,15}?:|)header{myTagHeaderInExchange}(\s+.*?|)> Case3: .setHeader("myTagHeaderInExchange", simple("${headers.myTagHeader}")) .split().tokenizeXML(header("myTagHeaderInExchange").toString() , groupSize) Result: Illegal repetition near index 18 <(.{1,15}?:|)header{myTagHeaderInExchange}(\s+.*?|)> Case4: public static String myTagHeaderInExchange = "dummy"; .process(new Processor() { @Override public void process(Exchange exchange) throws Exception { EslRouteBuilder.myTagHeaderInExchange = (String) exchange.getIn().getHeader("myTagHeader"); } }) .split().tokenizeXML(myTagHeaderInExchange , groupSize) Result: tokenize by "dummy" instead of value of "myTagHeader" header. Witch is normal as Anonymous class. But if instead of the anonymous processor i call an existing processor class with same code. Still processing after "dummy".
