Camel has no component to read a fixed length file that has multi rectypes.

Camel has camel-flatpack, camel-bindy to read files. Neither of these provide the ability to read file that has multiple record types. For example if line starts with "header" then it should use the order header class to store the data. If it starts with "detail" it should use a order detail class. etc... How are people dealing with this? There is a project called flatworm that I am going to see if I can use.

I used flatworm. I took the String that the exchange object returned (String test = exchange.getIn().getBody(String.class)) and made it into an inputstream which I fed to flatworm. InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(text.getBytes("UTF-8"));

So the answer to the question is that Camel has no component to do what I need done. Flatworm works though so all is good.
