I have a custom object that I will be passing through Camel routes and there may be times where I want to convert the object to different formats, which means that I need to write custom converters. My question is, how do I write a converter for the different String-based formats such as JSON, XML and CSV and have Camel be smart enough to choose the correct one?
If I have the following methods @Converter public String myObjectToXml( MyObject event ){ // do stuff here return "<xml>junk</xml>"; } @Converter public String myObjectToJson( MyObject event ){ // do stuff here return "{stuff:junk}"; } @Converter public String myObjectToCsv( MyObject event ){ // do stuff here return "junk,blah"; } So I would marshal the object to a String-based format, but how does Camel know which one I want?
