Kevin, Do you have any specific concerns with my proposed "short-cut"? Remove the destinations when using the XPath/Regex inline. | <action class="org.jboss.soa.esb.actions.ContentBasedRouter" name="ContentBasedRouter"> | <property name="cbrClass" value="XPath"/> | <property name="ruleSet"> | <rule target-service="OrderCategory:BlueService" expression="/order/header[@cat='blue']" /> | <rule target-category="OrderCategory" target-service="RedService"" expression="/order/header[@cat='red']" /> | </property> | </action> | We need to pick the right attribute names for the "target-service" and/or "target-category". I do think this cleans this up a bit for the most simple use cases. View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4256733#...
