Using the payload-type-router

[jettro]

Hi,
we are in the process of migrating to spring-integration 2. In that process we are trying to make things easier than they are at the moment. One of the possible candidates to improve in the routing part. At the moment we have code like this:

    <si:router input-channel="docTypeChannel" ref="docTypeRouter" method="resolveObjectTypeChannel"/>
    <si:channel id="News"/>
    <si:channel id="PressRelease"/>
    <si:channel id="Faq"/>
    <si:channel id="Address"/>
    <si:channel id="PB51Publication"/>
    <si:channel id="LeadingPage"/>
    <si:channel id="Bill"/>
    <si:channel id="CountryInformation"/>
    <si:channel id="TravelAdvice"/>
    <si:channel id="Webpage"/>
    <si:channel id="Delete"/>

The router is a very basic implementation:

    public String resolveObjectTypeChannel(Message message) {
        return message.getPayload().getClass().getSimpleName();
    }

Now I would like to replace this with the existing payload type message router. If I understand well, I do need to provide a mapping between type and channel myself, would be nice if there could be a default resolving strategy like:
- fully qualified class name
- simple class name
- custom mappings

Am I wrong and is this possible?

thanks,

How about using Spring Expression Language (SpEL):

<router input-channel="..." output-channel="..." expression="payload.getClass().getSimpleName()"/>

In the above, the result of the expression will be the simple name of the class which is also a channel name in your config.

That is why we invested so much time in providing support for SpEL in Spring INtegration 2.0

I am not that used to SPeL, but indeed it works and I like this solution as well.
