Hi If you have all the data in headers, then you can use the simple language to build a message body http://camel.apache.org/simple
I guess this is what you attempted with <constant>. But constant is what is says a constant. <constant>"<2> DateValue Hostname Message"</constant> So try with <simple>"<2> ${header. DateValue} ${header. Hostname} ${header. Message}"</simple> On Tue, Dec 16, 2014 at 11:59 PM, mtod09 <m...@thetods.net> wrote: > I'm developing a route that will read the incoming xml message and create a > new message to pass to an outbound route. > > I need to extract some data via xpath then concat the data elements to send > to a new route. > > Example > > <msg1> > <data1>My</data1> > <data2>home</data2> > <msg1> > > var1 = data1 > var2 = data2 > > var3 = var1 + " " + var2 > > var3 = "My home" > > I'm not sure how to do this with Spring XML does any one have an example or > pointer? > > My Route so far: > > <camel:camelContext id="myCamel" > xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring"> > > <camel:dataFormats> > <camel:syslog id="mySyslog"/> > </camel:dataFormats> > > <camel:route> > <camel:from uri="activemq:queue:syslogMessages"/> > > <setHeader headerName="DateValue"> > <xpath > resultType="String">/km:FMIMessage/km:Header/km:Payload/se:SystemEvent/se:EventTime/text()</xpath> > </setHeader> > <setHeader headerName="PRI"> > <xpath > resultType="String">/km:FMIMessage/km:Header/km:Payload/se:SystemEvent/se:LevelID/text()</xpath> > </setHeader> > <setHeader headerName="Hostname"> > <xpath > resultType="String">/km:FMIMessage/km:Header/km:Payload/se:SystemEvent/se:ServerName/text()</xpath> > </setHeader> > <setHeader headerName="Message"> > <xpath > resultType="String">/km:FMIMessage/km:Header/km:Payload/se:SystemEvent/se:MessageText/text()</xpath> > </setHeader> > <setHeader headerName="SyslogMsg"> > <constant>"<2> DateValue Hostname Message"</constant> > </setHeader> > > > > <camel:marshal ref="mySyslog"/> > <camel:to uri="mina:udp://localhost:514?sync=false"/> > > > </camel:route> > > </camel:camelContext> > > Thanks > > Mike > > > > > -- > View this message in context: > http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Camel-Spring-XML-working-with-variables-from-xml-message-tp5760788.html > Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Claus Ibsen ----------------- Red Hat, Inc.
