Hi, I would like to know if it is possible for a camel bean to call an unmarshall/marshall endpoint/process (I don't know if it must be considerate as an endpoint or process) from a Camel bean ?
In a normal routing, we call unmarshall/marshall like this : <route> <from uri="direct:start"/> <marshal ref="myJaxb"/> <to uri="direct:marshalled"/> </route> What I would like to do is to declare marshal/unmarshal in a spring DSL file (if it possible) and call it inside a bean ? Why, because the payload to be marshalled/unmarshalled is part of an object and I would like to keep this object during the pipeline route. ex <from uri=file://temp/data/> <convertBodyTo type="java.io.String"/> <bean ref="ServiceHelper" method="createRequest" /> // The Request object is an object used by Hibernate and will contain the content of the file. So this object cannot be unmarshalled/marshalled by its content well <bean ref="ServiceHelper" method="parseRequest" /> // Method who will call the unmarshall/marshall endpoint / process defined in Spring DSL file. This method send the string content to the endpoint who will unmarshall by example the content into a collection of Objects. The result is saved into the object Request <bean ref=ServiceHelper" method="saveRequest"/> because it is not possible to do this without loosing the Request object <from uri=file://temp/data/> <convertBodyTo type="java.io.String"/> <bean ref="ServiceHelper" method="createRequest" /> <unmarshall ref="csbBindyDataFormat"/> <bean ref=ServiceHelper" method="saveRequest"/> Regards, Charles Moulliard Senior Enterprise Architect Apache Camel Committer ***************************** blog : http://cmoulliard.blogspot.com
