Hi First of all welcome to Apache Camel!
As you don't own a XSD you can't make use of JDK-XJC compiler tool to create your JAXB-POJOs. However having a proper XSD had made your use case much easier. As then JAXB would have taken over the job of "Unmarshalling" from XML to POJO. Nevertheless I used [1] to show you *one possible way* you could go for it. The idea is really simple, just put a Processor in between which does the conversion of DOMSource-Object => JPA-Object: @Override protected RouteBuilder createRouteBuilder() throws Exception { return new RouteBuilder() { @Override public void configure() throws Exception { // START SNIPPET: e1 from("file:target/pair") // split the order child tags, and inherit namespaces from the // orders root tag .split().tokenizeXML("order", "orders").process(new Processor() { @Override public void process(Exchange exchange) throws Exception { DOMSource source = exchange.getIn().getBody(DOMSource.class); Node order = source.getNode(); NodeList childs = order.getChildNodes(); for (int j = 0; j < childs.getLength(); j++) { Node text = childs.item(j); // instead of just dumping the content as I do here, // just create an object of your POJO and set the properties // on it using the "current" Node here and then do something like: // WeatherCurrent weather = ne WeatherCurrent(); // weather.setXXX(text.getTextContent()); // weather.set... // // exchange.getIn().setBody(weather); System.out.println(text.getTextContent()); } } }) // of course you would instead send the current exchange to // the JPA producer instead of "mock" // .to("jpa://com.foo.WeatherCurrent ") .to("mock:split"); // END SNIPPET: e1 } }; } If you would run this test with my modifications it would additionally dump the following into the console: Camel in Action ActiveMQ in Action DSL in Action [1] https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/camel/trunk/camel-core/src/test/java/org/apache/camel/language/TokenXMLPairNamespaceSplitTest.java Babak -- View this message in context: http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/How-to-create-a-Camel-route-which-takes-XML-and-bind-some-data-to-JPA-annotated-POJO-tp5564614p5565135.html Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
