Constant Expression Language

The Constant Expression Language is really just a way to specify constant strings as a type of expression.

Example usage

The setHeader element of the Spring DSL can utilize a constant expression like:

<route>
  <from uri="seda:a"/>
  <setHeader headerName="theHeader">
    <constant>the value</constant>        
  </setHeader>
  <to uri="mock:b"/>     
</route>

in this case, the Message coming from the seda:a Endpoint will have 'theHeader' header set to the constant value 'the value'.

And the same example using Java DSL:

from("seda:a").setHeader("theHeader", constant("the value")).to("mock:b");

Dependencies

The Constant language is part of camel-core.
