Java DSL vs. Spring DSL

[labo32_delaboe]

Hello,

I got a problem converting a route from spring dsl into java dsl.

<camelContext xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring">
    <route>
        <from uri="jms:topic:test"></from>
        <choice>
            <when>
                <xpath>//xml/t1</xpath>
                     <split>
                      <xpath>/xml/t1/test</xpath>
                         <to uri="log:1"></to>
                  </split>
            </when>
            <when>
                <xpath>//xml/t2</xpath>
                     <split>
                      <xpath>/xml/t2/tset</xpath>
                      <to uri="log:2"></to> 
                  </split>
            </when>
            <otherwise>
                <to uri="log:Invalid"></to>
            </otherwise>
        </choice>
    </route>
</camelContext>

I expected a java dsl route like

from("jms:topic:test")
.choice()
       .when(xpath("//xml/t1"))
                 .split(xpath("/xml/t1/test"))
                     .to("log:1")    
       .when(xpath("//xml/t2"))
                .split(xpath("/xml/t2/tset"))
                     .to("log:2")            
            .otherwise()
                .to("log:Invalid");

but I failed with ...... a lot of possible versions.

Is there a limitation in java dsl ?

Thanks

Yeah the Java DSL have stretched the boundaries how far you can do a DSL in regular Java language.

So when you use certain EIP patterns inside a for example Content Based Router, you would need to use .end() or .endChoice() to tell the DSL when the embedded EIP is "done". In this example the .end() should be added where you would have the </split> in the XML route.

There is a variation of .end() which is .endChoice() which should be used, so you get the scope of the Content Based Router.
