ChoiceDefinition

public ChoiceDefinition()

Method Detail

getOutputs

public List<ProcessorDefinition<?>> getOutputs()

Specified by:

getOutputs in class ProcessorDefinition<ChoiceDefinition>

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

addOutput

public void addOutput(ProcessorDefinition<?> output)

Description copied from interface: Block

Adds the given definition as output to this block

Specified by:

addOutput in interface Block

Overrides:

addOutput in class ProcessorDefinition<ChoiceDefinition>

Parameters:

output - the processor definition

getPrecondition

public String getPrecondition()

setPrecondition

public void setPrecondition(String precondition)

Indicates whether this Choice EIP is in precondition mode or not. If so its branches (when/otherwise) are evaluated during startup to keep at runtime only the branch that matched.

end

public ProcessorDefinition<?> end()

Description copied from class: ProcessorDefinition

Ends the current block

Overrides:

end in class ProcessorDefinition<ChoiceDefinition>

Returns:

the builder

endChoice

public ChoiceDefinition endChoice()

Description copied from class: ProcessorDefinition

Ends the current block and returns back to the choice() DSL.

Important: If you want to end the entire choice block, then use ProcessorDefinition.end() instead. The purpose of ProcessorDefinition.endChoice() is to return control back to the choice() DSL, so you can add subsequent when and otherwise to the choice. There can be situations where you would need to use ProcessorDefinition.endChoice() often when you add additional EIPs inside the when's, and the DSL looses scope when using a regular ProcessorDefinition.end(), and you would need to use this ProcessorDefinition.endChoice() to return back the scope to the choice() DSL.

For more details and examples see also this FAQ: Why can I not use when or otherwise in a Java Camel route .

Overrides:

endChoice in class ProcessorDefinition<ChoiceDefinition>

Returns:

the choice builder

precondition

public ChoiceDefinition precondition()

Indicates that this Choice EIP is in precondition mode, its branches (when/otherwise) are then evaluated during startup to keep at runtime only the branch that matched.

Returns:

the builder

precondition

public ChoiceDefinition precondition(boolean precondition)

Indicates whether this Choice EIP is in precondition mode or not. If so its branches (when/otherwise) are evaluated during startup to keep at runtime only the branch that matched.

Parameters:

precondition - the flag indicating if it is in precondition mode or not.

Returns:

the builder

when

public ChoiceDefinition when(@AsPredicate
                             org.apache.camel.Predicate predicate)

Sets the predicate for the when node

Parameters:

predicate - the predicate

Returns:

the builder

when

@AsPredicate
public ExpressionClause<ChoiceDefinition> when()

Creates an expression for the when node

Returns:

expression to be used as builder to configure the when node

otherwise

public ChoiceDefinition otherwise()

Sets the otherwise node

Returns:

the builder

setId

public void setId(String id)

Description copied from class: OptionalIdentifiedDefinition

Sets the id of this node

Specified by:

setId in interface org.apache.camel.spi.IdAware

Overrides:

setId in class OptionalIdentifiedDefinition<ChoiceDefinition>

getShortName

public String getShortName()

Specified by:

getShortName in interface org.apache.camel.NamedNode

getLabel

public String getLabel()

Description copied from class: ProcessorDefinition

Returns a label to describe this node such as the expression if some kind of expression node

Specified by:

getLabel in interface org.apache.camel.NamedNode

Overrides:

getLabel in class ProcessorDefinition<ChoiceDefinition>

getWhenClauses

public List<WhenDefinition> getWhenClauses()

setWhenClauses

public void setWhenClauses(List<WhenDefinition> whenClauses)

Sets the when nodes

getOtherwise

public OtherwiseDefinition getOtherwise()

setOtherwise

public void setOtherwise(OtherwiseDefinition otherwise)

configureChild

public void configureChild(ProcessorDefinition<?> output)

Description copied from class: ProcessorDefinition

Strategy for children to do any custom configuration

Overrides:

configureChild in class ProcessorDefinition<ChoiceDefinition>

Parameters:

output - the child to be added as output to this
