Loop

Loop

The Loop allows to process the a message a number of times and possibly process them in a different way. Useful mostly for testing.

For each iteration two properties are set on the Exchange that could be used by processors down the pipeline to process the Message in different ways.

that could be used by processors down the pipeline to process the Message in different ways.

Examples

The following example shows how to take a request from the direct:x endpoint , then send the message repetitively to mock:result. The number of times the message is sent is either passed as an argument to loop(), or determined at runtime by evaluating an expression. The expression must evaluate to an int, otherwise a RuntimeCamelException is thrown.

Using the Fluent Builders

Pass loop count as an argument

Use expression to determine loop count

Use expression to determine loop count

Using the Spring XML Extensions

Pass loop count as an argument

Use expression to determine loop count

For further examples of this pattern in use you could look at one of the junit test case
