Header _expression_ Language

The Header _expression_ Language allows you to extract values of named headers.

Available as of Camel 1.5

Example usage

The recipientList element of the Spring DSL can utilize a header _expression_ like:

<route>
  <from uri="direct:a" />
  <!-- use comma as a delimiter for String based values -->
  <recipientList delimiter=",">
    <header>myHeader</header>
  </recipientList>
</route>

In this case, the list of recipients are contained in the header 'myHeader'.

And the same example in Java DSL:

from("direct:a").recipientList(header("myHeader"));

And with a slightly different syntax where you use the builder to the fullest (i.e. avoid using parameters but using stacked operations, notice that header is not a parameter but a stacked method call)

from("direct:a").recipientList().header("myHeader");

Dependencies

The Header language is part of camel-core.
