The routing slip is a dynamic router that allows one to determine at
runtime to what endpoints messages should be sent. It got nothing to do
with the process of creating routes.
The 2 choices are to either hardcode the logic described or the more
elegant solution imo of defining a small dsl for that. I am going on a
limb here and guess that there is some reason for generating the many
routes. That reason I suspect could probably be expressed in a concise
way, which would make a dsl appropriate.
The requirements were quite vague but I hope my guesses are not way off.
A bit more details may get you some sample code to get you started. Here
are a few pointers:
1. To define a number of routes you would implement a RouteBuilder and
its configure method.
2. Although virtually all examples show that you need to call
from(x).to(y).blah()..., there is nothing that prevents you from
implementing a method:
protected void foo() {
from(x).to(y).blah()...;
}
and call it within configure(), it'd have the same effect.
3. Next imagine that your method foo() actually takes some parameters,
that would allow you to parameterize the route (you may have more than
one such method).
4. Another thought is that you could actually use a Camel route (active
only during startup) to extract the data from your store. Useful for
unit testing and other goodies.
5. Bonus points for realizing that actually you can use a Camel
Expression to evaluate the result of querying the data store and produce
the value Object to parameterize the route.
6. An Expression may be useful to determine how many parameterized
routes you need.
7. Add some syntactic sugar and you got your dsl.
All of the above may sound complicated or advanced, but it's actually
quite simple to implement.
I hope this helps,

Would a routing slip work for you? You can dynamically configure where your
message is going, not necessarily what your input is. However, depending on
your requirements, this could suffice:
