Claus Ibsen commented on CAMEL-3564: ------------------------------------ Madhav i dont see the point. We are talking about a Camel expression to refer an object, which you lookup using an id, and find it in a registry such as the Spring XML file (its app context). Then someone asked if you can use this <ref> expression with the <seetHeader>. Yes you can as shown: {code} <setHeader headerName="myFoo"> <simple>${ref:foo}</simple> </setHeader> {code} What you refer to is some internals of camel-cxf which seems to store some transports headers in a map structure. That map structure is not the Camel Headers Map structure. Those 2 are not related. > RefLanguage - To be able to refer to something from the registry > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CAMEL-3564 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-3564 > Project: Camel > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: camel-core, camel-spring > Affects Versions: 2.5.0 > Reporter: Claus Ibsen > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 2.7.0 > > > See nabble > http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Set-exchange-property-to-a-Map-tp3349171p3349171.html > This is needed for folks using XML routing.
