Ashwin Karpe edited comment on CAMEL-3285 at 1/30/11 8:46 AM: -------------------------------------------------------------- Kristof, Your suggestion above has the implication of a 1:1 indirection i.e the addToCatalog endpoint will only indirect to the seda:addToCatalog route . It does not have the ability to perform content based routing to inner routes based on payload content. Secondly, it is perfectly legal to have multiple consumers in the routebox with from("direct:addtoCatalog")... from("seda:addtoCatalog")... and from("http://localhost:9000/addToCatalog) in the routebox at the same time. How would you then indirect to the right route...? I am sure your usecase can be satisfied in the current implementation with a dispatchMap in the Routebox URI referring to a Spring defined Hashmap if the developer is averse to writing code. I am afraid further simplification is a behavioral change that impacts capability and serves to confuse.
