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")
    ...
