Hello Camel experts we are using Camel to read a delimited file and import the data in our system. The file has a quite simple structure:
ABF31|01|10503547153|1|9921|90|3|3|20120713|20120713|20120718|0|0| ABF37|01|10503547153|1|9921|65|1|1|0||PSB031|20120718||1 ABF37|01|10503547153|1|9921|75|2|2|0||PSB031|20120718||1 ABF37|01|10503547153|1|9921|80|2|2|0||PSB031|20120718||1 ABF31|01|10503547154|1|9921|90|3|3|20120730|20120730|20120815|0|0| ABF37|01|10503547154|1|9921|65|1|1|0||PSB031|20120815||1 ABF37|01|10503547154|1|9921|95|1|1|0||PSB031|20120815||1 ABF37|01|10503547154|1|9921|100|3|3|0||PSB031|20120815||1 ABF31|01|10503547155|1|9921|90|3|3|20120730|20120730|20120807|0|0| ABF37|01|10503547155|1|9921|75|3|3|0||PSB031|20120807||1 ... So we have a abf31 record that has abf37 records as "children". We are reading the file using Camel CSV data format and then want to use an aggregator to aggregate the rows. The example above should result in 3 abf31 objects. Unfortunately the records do not have a real correlation identifier to be used in the aggregator. The aggregation is complete if the next record is an abf30 record. In "normal" programming this kind of grouping is quite simple, but we did not find an obvious and easy way to do this with Camel and aggregators. As a workaround we now try to insert a correlation id while reading the CSV. Is this the recommended way to do it? Any help is appreciated. Klaus
