What EIP pattern would fit this

[lekkie_lomotayo]

Hi Guys,

I have this complex integration that requires dynamic decision to be made at some point. Here is the flow:

Let say I have endpoints A,B, C, D, E, F

The desired flow is

A -> {B->C->E; C->D->E} -> F

Where {B->C->E; C->D->E} is a dynamic routing endpoint.

The problem is, I would like to use camel but the closest thing to this in camel is a Routing Slip. However, This is not flexible enough and decisions cannot be taken in between a routing-slip endpoints (I might be wrong, but that is as far as I can see).

I would however prefer to use a rule engine (drools engine to be specific), but I have not seen any drool integration with camel. I will appreciate any pointer or any thought on this concept as well.

Regards.

JBoss is currently working on integrating Drools out of the box with Camel.

We could introduce a variation to the routing slip so it can evaluate the next step on-demand. Then you dont have to compute the slip up front, but just the next step.

And if it evaluates null/false then the slip has reached its end.

I created a ticket for this
