Build a bean from a Master Detail flat file

[Marco Bettiol <ja...@gmail.com>]

I have one flat file with the following structure:

----------------------------
//Order Headers
header A
header B
...
--------------------------
//OrderDetails
detail A.1
detail B.1
detail B.2
....

in other word I have a file where at the beginning I can find the orders
headers and then the orders details.
I successfully mapped the OrderHeader from flat file to a java bean using
bindy.
The problem I do not know how to solve is how to process the order header
with its own details togheter to create 1 "Order" bean containing both
header and associated details.

You can always do custom mapping from a Camel Processor or Java Bean.
If the flat file contains N+ orders in the  same file. You can "spit
out" new messages from the Java code using Producer Template.
Then you can send the order using the producer template to the
"direct:order" endpoint.


from(file)
   .process(new MyCustomProcessor();

from("direct:order")
   .to("log:order")
    ...
