Hi In Java DSL you can do it like this:
.setHeader("myHeader").xpath("/xpath/to/needed/element", String.class) XPath in Camel: http://camel.apache.org/xpath.html Set Message-Header example: http://camel.apache.org/constant.html Regards Stephan -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Amiya Sankar Pradhan [mailto:amiya.c...@gmail.com] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 31.

We have a requirement to set a header values(value has to be extracted from the body before setting) in soap request based on the soap body element received and then reroute it after that. Presently we are marsalling the soap body to java object in the router class and getting the required value and setting it to the header. As the request is very large we are facing memory leak issue. therefore we want to read the xml and retrieve the attribute and set it in the header without converting it to java object. please let us know how can we achieve that. Also let me know if this approach is correct.
