Routes messages based on a series of predicates
The Choice pattern is the entry to a content based router. It does not do any processing. The routing decisions are left up to When patterns.
The Choice pattern can be placed anywhere in the route body. It must be followed by one or more When patterns and a single Otherwise pattern.
Table 36, “Choice Properties” describes the properties you can specify using the properties editor.
Table 36. Choice Properties
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Specifies a text description for the node. This description is included in the generated XML file, but it is informational only. It is not used by Apache Camel. |
| Specifies a unique identifier for the endpoint. The tooling automatically generates an id for a node when it is created, but you can remove that id or replace it with your own. The Camel debugger requires all nodes with a breakpoint set to have a unique id. You can use the id to refer to endpoints in your Camel XML file. |
