routing based on parameter value in camel context file

Question

Hi I have a route which is

<route id="invokeGetMortgageAccountDetails">
<from uri="direct:invokeGetMortgageAccountDetails" />
<removeHeaders pattern="operationNamespace" />
<setHeader headerName="operationName">
<constant>getMortgageDetailsRequest</constant>
</setHeader>            
<to uri="cxf:bean:getBastionAcctDetailsClient" />                   
<removeHeaders pattern="*" />
</route>

Now i want to change the 'to uri' if length of parameter account is equal to 8.

I am new to Apache camel and there is not very helpful information on internet.

I am using camel version 2.15 and i tried passing an extra property called length of account number in exchange and tried to match with value in route but it did not work.

Processor:

public void processMortgage(final Exchange exchange) throws ServiceException { MessageContentsList messageContentsList = (MessageContentsList) exchange.getIn().getBody(); List paramsList = new ArrayList(); String systemID = messageContentsList.get(0).toString().trim(); String brandID = messageContentsList.get(1).toString().trim(); String account = messageContentsList.get(2).toString().trim(); String len = Integer.toString(account.length()); paramsList.add(Constants.HUB); paramsList.add(brandID.toUpperCase()); paramsList.add(account); exchange.setProperty(Constants.SystemID, systemID); exchange.setProperty(len, len); exchange.setProperty(Constants.ErrorCode, null); exchange.setProperty("mortgageAccountNumber", Integer.parseInt(account)); } exchange.getIn().setBody(paramsList); }

Route Config:

<route id="invokeGetMortgageAccountDetails">             
<from uri="direct:invokeGetMortgageAccountDetails" />           <removeHeaders pattern="operationNamespace" />           
<setHeader headerName="operationName">
<constant>getMortgageDetailsRequest</constant>           </setHeader>            <choice>
                <when>
                    <simple>${body.len} == '8'</simple>
                    <to uri="cxf:bean:getPhoebusClient" />
                </when>
                <otherwise>
                    <to uri="cxf:bean:getBastionAcctDetailsClient" />
                </otherwise>            
 </choice>              
   <removeHeaders pattern="*" />         
 </route>

If you are using Apache Camel version > 2.16 then you can use the

Dynamic To Endpoint

You will probably need to use Spring Expression Language to build your dynamic uri
