Thanks for getting back to me about this. Too bad that array creation is not supported. What I was trying to do with my bean method was to provide validation to check whether or not one of the properties of my object was equal to one of the values in the array. I just found an alternate solution by using the validate dsl instead. I'm not sure how I managed not to find the validate DSL first before rolling my own solution. With the validate DSL I was able to do the following instead:
<validate><simple>${body.mypropertytovalidate} regex '\b(STRING1|STRING2|STRING3)\b'</simple></validate> -- View this message in context: http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Define-an-array-in-simple-tp5770637p5770691.html Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
