----------------------------------

             Summary: Simple language - Add type function which can refer to a constant or enum 
                 Key: CAMEL-6016
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-6016
             Project: Camel
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: camel-core
            Reporter: Claus Ibsen
             Fix For: Future


It would be nice if we added support so people can refer to a constant on a class / interface, or to an enum, which we can referred to in the simple language.

The syntax would need to be worked out a bit
{code}
<when>
  <simple>${body} == ${T(com.foo.MyTypes.CUSTOMER)}</simple>
</when>
{code}

Not sure about the function name, here we use T to refer to a type. We could also use, "const", "type", or have "enum" as well
{code}
<when>
  <simple>${body} == ${const(com.foo.MyTypes.CUSTOMER)}</simple>
</when>
{code}

And we can use colon instead of ( ) which is shorter
{code}
<when>
  <simple>${body} == ${enum:com.foo.MyTypes.CUSTOMER}</simple>
</when>
{code}
