Split a Camel Route according to type

I have an Apache Camel exchange that, as result of some processing, contains a Pair<List<Message>, List<Error>>. I want to split my Camel route into two paths, one only processing the Messages, and one only processing the Errors. Using a pseudo-DSL, I am looking for something like this:

split(MyPairSplitter::Class)
  .to("direct:process-messages")
  .to("direct:process-errors")

Now, this is not how the splitter EIP works. To my understanding, the splitter creates a sequence of exchanges that all have the same data type as body and that are all fed into a single route; but I would like to have two routes that process different data types. What is the best way to do this?

The Splitter doesn't really care what the type of the thing being split is. I think what you're looking for is the Composed Message Processor pattern.

split(body())
    .when(simple("${body.class.name == 'Message'"))
        .to("direct:process-messages")
    .otherwise()   
        .to("direct:process-errors")
    .end()
.end()
