new bean expression language
An issue some folks have hit has been how to write complex expressions
and predicates for non-XML payloads of messages without adding any new
dependency on some expression language like Groovy, EL, OGNL, Ruby
etc.
Well there's always Java :)
Folks could write a new Expression/Predicate class; but that can often
be a tad noisy when used in the DSL (and it doesn't translate too well
to describing routing rules in XML); so to simplify that I've
implemented a simple Bean Language so you can just refer to bean
methods as an expression or predicate...
http://cwiki.apache.org/CAMEL/bean-language.html
it also helps show some of the power of the Bean Integration annotations
http://activemq.apache.org/camel/bean-integration.html
The nice thing about this approach is if you write an expression in
Java code; your code can avoid the use of Camel APIs; namely to be
just business logic style code using whatever classes ou like.
The JIRA for this feature is here btw
http://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/CAMEL-226
As usual, feedback always appreciated

Good point! :)
Here's a Java DSL test case...
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/activemq/camel/trunk/camel-core/src/test/java/org/apache/camel/processor/MethodFilterTest.java
also we use this in the Aggregator Spring XML test case
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/activemq/camel/trunk/components/camel-spring/src/test/resources/org/apache/camel/spring/processor/aggregator.xml
I've added these links to the wiki page

Are there any full working examples of this new bean expression
language? Docs are never as good as seeing some example code that
actually runs.
