New rider here ... please be gentle :-) ... making my way through the Manning
book (a highly recommended publication for beginners!) ... read through section
8.3 but still didn't find the answer I'm looking for.
I plan on writing a splitter bean that will extract multiple messages (using a
custom business entity API call). My situation calls for me to decorate each
message with different custom headers (based on additional business logic).
Assuming a Component is making BusinessEntity available :
public List<Exchange> pullMessages(@Body BusinessEntity businessObject,
Exchange originalExchange)
{
List<Exchange> newExchangeList = new ArrayList<Exchange>();
Endpoint endPoint = originalExchange.getFromEndpoint();
for(BusinessSubentity subEntity : businessObject.getChildren())
{
Exchange newExchange = endPoint.createExchange();
newExchange.getIn().setBody(subEntity, BusinessSubentity.class);
newExchange.getIn().setHeaders(originalExchange.getIn().getHeaders());
newExchange.setExchangeId(originalExchange.getExchangeId());
newExchange.getIn().setHeader("MessageSubtype",
subEntity.getMessageType(businessObject.getPermissionSet()));
newExchangeList.add(newExchange);
}
return newExchangeList;
}
Is this an acceptable Splitter implementation? Am I violating a Camel best
practice? Does Camel support this (I assume it does)? Is there an easier way to
do this?
My apologies for the length of the email and any help is deeply appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike G.
