Pipes and Filters
Camel supports the Pipes and Filters from the EIP patterns in various ways.
With Camel you can split your processing across multiple independent Endpoint instances which can then be chained together.
Using Routing Logic
You can create pipelines of logic using multiple Endpoint or Message Translator instances as follows
In Spring XML you can use the <pipeline/>
element
In the above the pipeline element is actually unnecessary, you could use this:
which is a bit more explicit.
However if you wish to use <multicast/>
to avoid a pipeline - to send the same message into multiple pipelines - then the <pipeline/>
element comes into its own:
In the above example we are routing from a single Endpoint to a list of different endpoints specified using URIs. If you find the above a bit confusing, try reading about the Architecture or try the Examples
