Hi,
If you don't mind using XQuery as an expression language for achieving
this, you could use the following instead of using a Bean. IMHO, this is
more natural, as it uses XML languages themselves to spit out an
XML-compliant dateTime format ;)
<setHeader headerName="myDate">
<xquery type="java.lang.String" xmlns:xs="
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";>xs:dateTime(current-dateTime()) -
xs:dayTimeDuration('P1D')</xquery>
</setHeader>
Couple of things:
- Providing the type is absolutely necessary (java.lang.String in the
above example)
- You need to specify the XML Schema namespace. If you want the
expression XML element to be lighter, you could push up the namespace
declaration to the <route>, <camelContext> element or above
- You can construct the duration dynamically by using the concat()
function.
- Make sure that camel-saxon is on your classpath, or that the
camel-saxon feature is installed if you are using ServiceMix/Karaf -
whatever is relevant in your case.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Raúl.
