I've run into a case where I have an incoming message that contains a payload. The payload in many cases could be different for the same message type and I want to unmarshal the payload of the message into an object (e.g. byte[] to SomeObject.class)
I'd like to make use of camel's type converters making it easier to perform payload conversions. For example:
class MyObject {
public String msgType;
public byte[] payload;
public byte[] getPayload() {
return payload;
}
}
@Converter
class PayloadConverter {
@Converter
public static PayloadFoo(byte[] bytes) {
...
}
@Converter
public static PayloadBar(byte[] bytes) {
...
}
}
// body is MyObject
from("direct:input")
// call the method getPayload on the object
.choice()
// invoke the method get payload for passing result to the camel type converter
// the payload will get stored in the setPayload
.when(header("PayloadType").isEqualTo("Foo")).convertBodyPropertyTo(PayloadFoo.class, "getPayload")
If there is a way I can implement this and submit it to the community where would be a good place to start digging in the code?
