Thanks for the answer. Our use cases are not all as trivial as that, though. Some pieces of the incoming data are just one bit long (flags), others span multiple bytes. For our project, we've written a completely flexible engine for unmarshalling data like that, including signed/unsigned little-endian/big-endian int support, and floating point numbers. I'm not sure how much effort it would be to integrate that into Camel - and it seems like ours is a fairly exotic problem which the rest of the world doesn't really care about. I'll check the Bindy code when I've got some time to get a feel for the component. Cheers, Johannes Think green - keep it on the screen.
