Yes it is in fact. You want to take a look at the dynamic recipient list EIP http://camel.apache.org/recipient-list.html And then you can use a POJO to compute the list of endpoints to send to. The return type of your POJO can for example be String[], or List, or Iterator etc. But to start simple you can use either a List<String> or String[]. public List<String> computeSomeEndpoints(File file, @Header("CamelFileName") String name) { ... compute some endpoints list.add("jms:queue:foo"); list.add("ftp://someu...@someserver?password=secret";); return list; } And then use a route that route to the recipient list and use the bean as expression from("file://xxxx").recipientList().method(MyComputeBean.class); > I realize that ESB-like products such as Camel may not be a perfect fit for > this scenario, but Camel has so many of the features I need already built > in...seems like it might be better than writing from scratch. > -- > View this message in context: > http://old.nabble.com/Using-Camel-to-%22route%22-binary-files-tp26629157p26629157.html > Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > -- Claus Ibsen Apache Camel Committer Author of Camel in Action: http://www.manning.com/ibsen/ Open Source Integration: http://fusesource.com Blog: http://davsclaus.blogspot.com/ Twitter: http://twitter.com/davsclaus
