Way for a processor to spawn new exchanges

[Pete Mueller <pe...@routecloud.com>]

Hey all, 

I have an incoming message in an exchange that needs to be processed.  The
processing of this message may create more messages. This is not a spliting
action, in one case for example, data is analyzed and if the result of a
computation is > X, a new alert message needs to be sent down a different
camel route.

My question is: Is there a "standard" way for a processor (which has one
exchange with an in and out message) to create one or more new exchanges and
send it off on it's way.  If so, since this exchange is created internally,
and not from any component, how do you tell the exchange what route it is to
take?  Is this what "direct" or "seda" is used for?

thanks
-pete

Hi,

You can use the ProducerTemplate to send a new message to whatever 
endpoint that you want to send to in the processor.

Here is an example[1] in apache wiki.
