XPath and regexp routing

[kconner]

We are looking to expand the options available for routing messages within the ESB.

At present the routing is based on drools and, while very good at the job, is overkill when the routing requirements are simple. Two capabilities that have been requested in the past are routing decisions based on XPath and regexp.

There would be some issues to address within our messages but I do not feel that these are insurmountable.

What do folks think about these? Do you have any specific requirements? Have you integrated either of these into the ESB?

One implementation option for XPath could be the SXC project on codehaus. It only supports a subset of XPath but could be sufficient for some needs.

Of course there is no reason why SXC would have to be the only implementation option :)

Can you add some comments here to highlight what you would like to see for these?

Thanks
