You could use a templating engine to transform the message into a human readable format first, before routing it to the log component. See... http://activemq.apache.org/camel/templating.html for example from("..."). to("velocity:scripts/Validating.vm"). to("log:Validating"); then your Validating.vm script could generate text extracting some headers or payload from the message etc. Maybe if the logging information is simpler; we could just use normal expressions? e.g. using the EL as a kinda templating engine from("..."). setBody().el("Validating ${in.header.foo} blah"). to("log:Validating"); Templating engines come into their own when you are composing a large page of text such as an email with embedded values; if its a single line of text for a log message or SMS or something then using EL or XPath or something might be simpler as you can inline the expression inside your route. -- James ------- http://macstrac.blogspot.com/ Open Source Integration http://open.iona.com
