The end() means to close the block, just like the "}" in java, it is very useful for the choice() fluent API.

Thanks. I'll try that. The multicast fluent builder example http://activemq.apache.org/camel/multicast.html here doesn't use end:

from("direct:a").multicast().to("direct:x", "direct:y", "direct:z");

What's the difference between:

multicast().to("direct:x", "direct:y", "direct:z").end();
and

 to("direct:x", "direct:y", "direct:z");

Thanks.

Hi,

Did you try end() to terminate the multicast?  As in:
from(uri).
   choice().
     when(expr).multicast().to(uris).end().
     otherwise().to(pojo);

Cheers
Hadrian

I'm trying to broadcast a feed to multiple endpoints but with
content-based selection. I assume I need to use multicast, however, I
can't achieve conditional multicast based on content selection since I can't use an otherwise() method after using multicast().to("endpoint1",
"endpoint2")

Furthermore, the to() method supports a list of endpoints without
requiring a multicast first so what is the difference between that and a
multicast().to(...)?

feed in -> multicast to two outputs

To recap with code:

1) I can't use otherwise after a multicast...

       from(cnn).
               choice().
               when(xpath(filter)).multicast().to(im, archive); // I
can't now use otherwise()...

2) Do I really need multicast or can I just do the following...?

       from(cnn).
               choice().
               when(xpath(filter)).to(im, archive).
               otherwise().to(myPojo);


One way I've worked around this is to inverse the filter and do the
multicast in the otherwise() part but clearly this doesn't answer my
original question:

from(cnn).
               choice().
               when(xpath(filter)).to(stdout).
               otherwise().multicast().to(im, archive);
