Splitter EAI Pattern: A router that really split the message and delivery the message parts to different message channels ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBESB-2805 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBESB-2805 Project: JBoss ESB Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Content Based Routing Affects Versions: 4.4, 4.5, 4.6 Reporter: Ricardo Ferreira Attachments: jboss-esb-splitter-test.zip, Splitter.java, Splitter.java Current JBoss ESB Routers (StaticRouter and StaticWiretap) does not implement fully the EAI Patterns Splitter (http://www.eaipatterns.com/Sequencer.html). Those implementations just take the incoming message and redelivery for diferent services using basic routing. But in the pattern description we found: "Use a Splitter to BREAK OUT the composite message into a series of INDIVIDUAL MESSAGES, each containing data related to one item" The proposal is to implement a generic Splitter (org.jboss.soa.esb.actions.Splitter) that takes a message, and, using Smooks, separate the message onto diferent messages (individual messages) and send those individual messages to others message channels. Here's a example of this action: <action name="splitter" class="org.jboss.soa.esb.actions.Splitter"> <property name="destinations"> <route-to service-category="Enterprise Business Services" service-name="FirstService"> <message-splitter smooksConfig="/META-INF/smooks-res-1.xml" resultType="STRING" /> </route-to> <route-to service-category="Enterprise Business Services" service-name="SecondService"> <message-splitter smooksConfig="/META-INF/smooks-res-2.xml" resultType="JAVA" /> </route-to> </property> </action> I've implemented this action and it is fully working in the following enviroment: OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 JVM: Sun JDK 1.5-16 JBoss ESB 4.5 I would like that this feature would be available in the JBoss ESB and the SOA Platform product, since, I've customers that asked me for this kind of feature.
