Hi, all. Since the list is quiet I thought I'd run something by you.
I wrote a custom splitter that's working just fine, so I really don't need any
help.
But I was curious if I could have done things simpler with some combination of
split(), tokenize() and Simple, etc.?
~~~
I hit an endpoint that returns a String representing a list of lists of the
form:
[ [ "line 1", "line 2" ], [ "line 1", "line 2" ], ... [ "line 1", "line 2" ] ]
The goal was to iterate on the inner-lists and pass each "line 1"/"line 2" pair
to a processor.
I couldn't quite get split() to work as-is, and tried playing around a bit with
tokenize().
Ultimately, I created the following custom splitter, which creates an array of
strings which can be split on, and added it to my route with
.split().method("MySplitter", "splitList").
But could I have done something simpler?
Thanks.

/* Converts a string representing a lists of lists into an array of strings
of the form:
"line 1", "line 2"
...
"line 1", "line 2"
*/
public List<String> splitList (String body)
{
String lists = body.trim();
lists = lists.substring(1, lists.length()-1);
List<String> answer = new ArrayList<String>();
for ( String list : lists.split("],") ) {
answer.add(list.replace("[", "").replace("]", "").trim());
}
return answer;
}
