route-to element in jboss-esb.xml

[massios]

An observation I made today.

The content based router (see page 28) of the services guide

<action class="org.jboss.soa.esb.actions.ContentBasedRouter" name="ContentBasedRouter">
<property name="cbrAlias" value="XPath"/>
<property name="destinations">
<route-to service-category="BlueTeam" service-name="GoBlue" expression="/Order[@statusCode='0']" />
<route-to service-category="RedTeam" service-name="GoRed" expression="/Order[@statusCode='1']" />
<route-to service-category="GreenTeam" service-name="GoGreen" expression="/Order[@statusCode='2']" />
</property>
</action>

uses the route-to element inside a property element.

According to the XSDs in jbossesb-4.7\xml (for example jbossesb-1.2.0.xsd) the route-to tag is not allowed threre (or anywhere else).

Hi Nikos,

According to the XSDs in jbossesb-4.7\xml (for example jbossesb-1.2.0.xsd) the route-to tag is not allowed threre (or anywhere else).

The 'property' element extends 'xsd:anyType' and only mandates that a name attribute be present. The value is optional and there is no constraints on the content in any way. This allows custom actions to receive configuration properties.

Hello Daniel,

I see.

XML Spy 4.4 is reporting "element route-to not defined in DTD/Schema". I thought that the problem was that route-to was not declared as a type but probably the version if XML Spy I am using is too old.
