Apache Camel conditional routing

Viewed 34607

I have a service which has two operations.

RegisterUser
UpdateUser

I have a camel rout:

<camel:route id="myRoute">
    <camel:from uri="cxf:bean:myListenerEndpoint?dataFormat=POJO&amp;synchronous=true" />            
    <camel:bean ref="processor" method="processMessage"/>
    <camel:to uri="xslt:file:resources/service/2.0.0/UserRegistration.xsl"/>
    <camel:to uri="cxf:bean:myTargetEndpoint"/>
</camel:route>

In my processor bean, when I specify:

RegisterUser registerUser = exchange.getIn().getBody(RegisterUser.class);

I get the register user object. Everything works fine. The problem is that I want camel to route my request conditionally, for e.g:

If the service operation is RegisterUser I want to route the message to my specific bean and if the service operation is UpdateUser I want to route the message to the other bean.

I have tried to use camel xPath, but it not seems to be working.

<camel:route id="myRoute">
    <camel:from uri="cxf:bean:myListenerEndpoint?dataFormat=POJO&amp;synchronous=true" />  
    <camel:choice>
        <camel:when>
            <camel:xpath>
                //RegisterUser
            </camel:xpath>
            <camel:bean ref="processor" method="processMessage"/>
            <camel:to uri="xslt:file:resources/service/2.0.0/UserRegistration.xsl"/>
        </camel:when>
    </camel:choice>                        
    <camel:to uri="cxf:bean:myTargetEndpoint"/>
</camel:route>

I was searching how to set up camel to route to the different targets but did not find anything. Maybe somebody knows where might be the problem?

Spring XML route In my case I use inbound Jetty EP. I check parametr in request. Invole URL http://localhost:8080/srv?alg=1

    <choice id="_choice1">
    <when id="_when1">
        <simple>${in.header.alg} == '1'</simple>
        <log id="_log10" message="LOG ALG 1"/>
    </when>
    ...
    <otherwise id="_otherwise1">
        <setFaultBody id="_setFaultBody1">
            <constant>Return message about ERROR</constant>
            </setFaultBody>
    </otherwise>
</choice>
final CamelContext context = exchange.getContext();
if (isAlive) {
    context.startRoute("table-reader-route");
    log.info("starting dailycase route= " + response);
} else {
    context.stopRoute("table-reader-route");
    log.info("stoping dailycase route= " + response);
}
