We would very much like to receive any feedback on the new site, please join the discussion on the Camel user mailing list.

Ref Expression Language

Available as of Camel 2.8

The Ref Expression Language is really just a way to lookup a custom Expression from the Registry.
This is particular useable in XML DSLs.

Example usage

The Splitter in XML DSL can utilize a custom expression using <ref> like:

<bean id="myExpression" class="com.mycompany.MyCustomExpression"/>

...

<route>
  <from uri="seda:a"/>
  <split>
    <ref>myExpression</ref>   
    <to uri="mock:b"/>
  </split>     
</route>

in this case, the Message coming from the seda:a Endpoint will be splitted using a custom Expression which has the id myExpression in the Registry.

And the same example using Java DSL:

from("seda:a").split().ref("myExpression").to("seda:b");

Dependencies

The Constant language is part of camel-core.
