Hi all,

I was wondering why the Recipient annotation on my interface like below does not work:

@RecipientList

public String[] route(Exchange exchange, @XPath(value="//Service/text()", resultType=String.class) String service) throws Exception;

and the implementation looks like:

@RecipientList

public String[] route(Exchange exchange, String service) throws Exception

{

String[] routes = null;

routes = new String[]{"vm:myProcessor?timeout=180000"}

return routes;

}

The implementation returns an array of strings, but Camel never treat the array of strings as recipients and thus mesages are not routed to the endpoints in the string array. Instead it executes the next line in the same camel context.

See came context that invokes the route function:

Instead it executes the testDataSource method in the testDriver bean, instead of going to the endpoint returned by the route function.

Please any idea on alternative method to implement this will be appreciated. And oh, it works fine when its not an interface. But its important I make it an interface.

I stumbled on this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3353378/annotations-on-interfaces?rq=1. Is this correct?

Regards.
