Component

Available

of

Camel

...

2.12

...

The

...

mvel:

...

component

...

allows

...

you

...

to

...

process

...

a

...

message

...

using

...

an

...

MVEL

...

template.

...

This

...

can

...

be

...

ideal

...

when

...

using

...

Templating

...

to

...

generate

...

responses

...

for

...

requests.

...

Maven

...

users

...

will

...

need

...

to

...

add

...

the

...

following

...

dependency

...

to

...

their

...

pom.xml

...

for

...

this

...

component:

Code Block

{code:xml}
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-mvel</artifactId>
    <version>x.x.x</version>
    <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>

The

sets

a

the

MVEL

Context

...

Camel

will

provide

exchange

...

information

...

in

...

the

...

MVEL

...

context

...

(just

...

a

Map

...

).

...

The

Exchange

...

is

...

transfered

...

as:

Wiki Markup

{div:class=confluenceTableSmall}
|| key || value ||
| {{exchange}} | The {{Exchange}} itself. |
| {{exchange.properties}} | The {{Exchange}} properties. |
| {{headers}} | The headers of the In message. |
| {{camelContext}} | The Camel Context intance. |
| {{request}} | The In message. |
| {{in}} | The In message. |
| {{body}} | The In message body. | 
| {{out}} | The Out message (only for InOut message exchange pattern). |
| {{response}} | The Out message (only for InOut message exchange pattern). |

Hot

...

reloading

...

The

...

mvel

...

template

...

resource

...

is,

...

by

...

default,

...

hot

...

reloadable

...

for

...

both

...

file

...

and

...

classpath

...

resources

...

(expanded

...

jar).

...

If

...

you

...

set

...

contentCache=true

...

,

...

Camel

...

will

...

only

...

load

...

the

...

resource

...

once,

...

and

...

thus

...

hot

...

reloading

...

is

...

not

...

possible.

...

This

...

scenario

...

can

...

be

...

used

...

in

...

production,

...

when

...

the

...

resource

...

never

...

changes.

...

Dynamic

...

templates

...

Camel

...

provides

...

two

...

headers

...

by

...

which

...

you

...

can

...

define

...

a

...

different

...

resource

...

location

...

for

...

a

...

template

...

or

...

the

...

template

...

content

...

itself.

...

If

...

any

...

of

...

these

...

headers

...

is

...

set

...

then

...

Camel

...

uses

...

this

...

over

...

the

...

endpoint

...

configured

...

resource.

...

This

...

allows

...

you

...

to

...

provide

...

a

...

dynamic

...

template

...

at

...

runtime.

Wiki Markup

{div:class=confluenceTableSmall}
|| Header || Type || Description ||
| CamelMvelResourceUri | String | A URI for the template resource to use instead of the endpoint configured. |
| CamelMvelTemplate | String | The template to use instead of the endpoint configured. |

Samples

For example you could use something like

Code Block


h3. Samples

For example you could use something like

{code}
from("activemq:My.Queue").
  to("mvel:com/acme/MyResponse.mvel");
{code}

To

...

use

...

a

...

MVEL

...

template

...

to

...

formulate

...

a

...

response

...

to

...

a

...

message

...

for

...

InOut

...

message

...

exchanges

...

(where

...

there

...

is

...

a

...

JMSReplyTo

...

header).

...

To

...

specify

...

what

...

template

...

the

...

component

...

should

...

use

...

dynamically

...

via

...

a

...

header,

...

so

...

for

...

example:

{
Code Block
}
from("direct:in").
  setHeader("CamelMvelResourceUri").constant("path/to/my/template.mvel").
  to("mvel:dummy");
{code}

To

...

specify

...

a

...

template

...

directly

...

as

...

a

...

header

...

the

...

component

...

should

...

use

...

dynamically

...

via

...

a

...

header,

...

so

...

for

...

example:

{
Code Block
}
from("direct:in").
  setHeader("CamelMvelTemplate").constant("@{\"The result is \" + request.body * 3}\" }").
  to("velocity:dummy");
