Ah okay yeah that should be doable using the simple language.
Or other languages like OGNL, Mvel, Groovy etc.
Simple has OGNL like method call:
http://camel.apache.org/simple
<split>
<simple>${body.someMap().values()}</simple>
...
</split>
This will invoke a getter getSomeMap() on the method body, and invoke
its values() method.
And use that for the splitter.
