Hi Its fairly common for end users of Camel to send a message to an endpoint by which the uri is dynamic.
We have a FAQ for that. http://camel.apache.org/how-do-i-use-dynamic-uri-in-to.html However you would need to use the recipient list EIP to support that. Ben O'Day recently created a ticket to improved this, and on the @user a person is asking for this as well. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-4226 We may want to try to take a stab at improving this. The problem would be to keep being backwards compatible. And at the same time support passing in expressions for a to in the DSL. Likewise the DSL may get big as we would need to add more methods to the model so you can use the expressions. The bigger problem is JAXB being a bit of an *** in terms of flexibility of the generated schema. I remember looking at this years ago and it wasn't easy to have JAXB generate a XSD where the expression would be optional. There was no good way of specifying this in the JAXB annotation in the model class. But since this could be a good improvement we may want to tamper with a special support on ToDefinition to force JAXB to see the expression as being optional. With this you could write from X to (simple("xxxx:${header.bar}")) And in XML <from uri="X"/> <to><simple>xxx:${header.bar}</simple></to> Simple is just one of the many expressions you can use. -- Claus Ibsen ----------------- FuseSource Email: cib...@fusesource.com Web: http://fusesource.com Twitter: davsclaus, fusenews Blog: http://davsclaus.blogspot.com/ Author of Camel in Action: http://www.manning.com/ibsen/
