Camel - Content based routing based on JSON Request body

Question

I have a camel REST endpoint which receives a request of the form:-

{"method" : "getHello"}

Based on the value in the method field in the request body I want to route the request to different routes. So I tried something like this below:-

from("jetty:http://localhost:8888/hello").unmarshal().json(JsonLibrary.Jackson, RouteRequest.class)
            .choice()
                .when(method(DynamicRouter.class, "route").isEqualTo("getHello")).to("stream:out")
            .otherwise()
                .log("Processing Failed");

Dynamic Router class is like below:-

public class DynamicRouter {
    public String route(RouteRequest req) { 
        switch (req.getMethod()) {
        case "getHello":            
            return "xxxx";
        }
        return null;
    }
}

Even though I am returning xxxx from route() but the below Predicate is always evaluating to true and it is never going to .otherwise

isEqualTo("getHello")).to("stream:out")

Can someone let me know what I am doing wrong? Also is there some better way of what I am trying to achieve?

I am on camel 2.16.3

This is working as expected. My log4j.properties was not properly configured on the classpath. So the log was not showing up.
