Predicates is mostly intended for runtime hence most examples works on exchange headers. However if you want to use predicts I believe you can use the constant() method in your predicate. --- from(uri) ... stuff here... .to(destination) .choice() .when(constant(localVar).isEqualTo("value")).to(additionalDestination); --- Or since you are doing all this in design time you can also build the route normal if statements (as you do) but use a local route definition variable to avoid having to duplicating code . --- RouteDefinition myRoute = from(uri) .... stuff here... .to(destination): if ( localVar == value) { myRoute.to(additionalDestination); } else { myRoute.to(someotherDestination); } myRoute.to(commonFinalDestination); --- Best regards Pontus Ullgren
