I noticed the new DslHelper, very nice Daniel. This inspired me to propose the following addition to the XPathLanguage.dsl Add: [then]SetAsString : "{key}", "{xpath}"=msg.getBody().add("{key}",org.jboss.internal.soa.esb.services.routing.cbr.DslHelper.selectAsString(msg, "{xpath}") ); This will allow the user to write rules that can extract some fields from the XML and set them as named parameters on the Message.Body. For example the rule: | when | xpathGreaterThan "/price", "1.00" | then | Log : "XPath Greater Then"; | Destination : "XML_XPath_GreaterThan_Destination"; | SetAsString : "priceInDollars", "/price"; | would add the named parameter "priceInDollars" to the ESBMessage with a value of "1.00" I guess you can also consider adding SetAsNumber etc. Cheers, --Kurt View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4216024#...
