Chapter 6. Adding another route to the routing context
This tutorial shows you how to add a second route to the camel context in the ZooOrderApp
project’s blueprint.xml
file. The second route:
- Takes messages (valid orders) directly from the terminal end of the first route’s otherwise branch.
- Sorts the valid messages according to the customer’s country.
-
Sends each message to the corresponding
country
folder in theZooOrderApp/target/messages
folder. For example, an order from the Chicago zoo is copied to the USA folder.
Goals
In this tutorial you complete the following tasks:
- Reconfigure the existing route for direct connection to a second route
- Add a second route to your Camel context
- Configure the second route to take messages directly from the otherwise branch of the first route
- Add a content-based router to the second route
- Add and configure a message header, logging, and target destination to each output branch of the second route’s content-based router
Prerequisites
To start this tutorial, you need the ZooOrderApp project resulting from one of the following:
Complete the Chapter 5, Adding a Content-Based Router tutorial.
or
-
Complete the Chapter 2, Setting up your environment tutorial and replace your project’s
blueprint.xml
file with the providedblueprintContexts/blueprint2.xml
file, as described in the section called “About the resource files”.
Reconfiguring the existing route’s endpoint
The existing route sends all valid orders to the target/messages/validOrders
folder.
In this section, you reconfigure the endpoint of the existing route’s Otherwise _elseValid branch to instead connect to a second route (which you create in the next section).
To configure the existing route for direct connection with the second route:
-
Open your
ZooOrderApp/src/main/resources/OSGI-INF/blueprint/blueprint.xml
in the route editor. - On the canvas, select the Route_route1 container to open its properties in the Properties view.
- Scroll down to the Shutdown Route property and then select Default.
- On the canvas, select the terminal file node To_Valid to display its properties in the Properties view.
-
In the Uri field, delete the existing text, and then enter
direct:OrderFulfillment
. -
In the Id field, enter
_Fulfill
.
Instead of repurposing the existing To_Valid
terminal file node, you could have replaced it with a Components To_Valid
node.
To learn more about the Direct component see the Apache Camel Component Reference.
Adding the second route
To add another route to the routing context:
- In the Palette, open the Routing drawer and then click the Route ( ) pattern.
In the canvas, click to the right of the
Route_route1
container:The Route pattern becomes the
Route_route2
container node on the canvas.-
Click the
Route_route2
container node to display its properties in the Properties view. Leave the properties as they are. - Save the file.
As your routing context grows in complexity, you might want to focus the route editor on an individual route while you work on it. To do so, in Project Explorer, double-click the route that you want the route editor to display on the canvas; for example Route_route2
:
To display all routes in the routing context on the canvas, double-click the project’s .xml
context file entry (src/main/resources/OSGI-INF/…
) at the top of the Camel Contexts
folder.
Configuring a Choice branch to process USA orders
In this section, you add a Choice branch to the route and configure the route to send USA orders to a new target/messages/validOrders/USA
folder. You also set a message header and a log file component.

The routes on the canvas should look like this:
Completed route1
Completed route2
In the Source tab at the bottom of the canvas, the XML for the camelContext element should look like that shown in Example 6.1, “XML for dual-route content-based router”:

If the tooling added the attribute shutdownRoute=" "
to the second route element (<route id="route2">
), delete that attribute. Otherwise, the ZooOrderApp
project might fail to run.
To make sure that your updated project works as expected, follow these steps:
-
Run the
ZooOrderApp/Camel Contexts/blueprint.xml
as a local Camel Context (without tests). Check the end of the Console’s output. You should see these lines:
Check the target destination folders to verify that the routes executed properly:
-
In Project Explorer, right-click
ZooOrderApp
and then select Refresh. Expand the
target/messages/
folder.The
message*.xml
files should be dispersed in your the destinations as shown:Figure 6.1. Target message destinations in Project Explorer
-
In Project Explorer, right-click
