Well Camel only converts when really needed, or if you ask it to do so, such as from the Processor where you asked it to convert to a DOM. The XPath expression/predicate in Camel can work with the input message as source types, eg InputSource (I think the XML class name is). That means it can work on the message in the optimal way it sees fit. > Currently I'm more in a feasibility/prototyping stage but I'm expecting some > refactoring in the near future, when I know how to use Camel properly ;-) to > make sure performances are not too degradated by unnecessary type conversions. > Yeah type convertions of big xml payloads can cause performance.
