I reviewed that page extensively and found a reference to using the namespace
http://camel.apache.org/xml/variables/system-properties What I am really looking for is an example that shows if it is possible to use a variable in the Xpath expression. So in Java I do the following: System.setProperty("MY_PROP", "MY_VALUE"); Then I define the system-property namespace and give it a prefix of "sys". What would the resulting Xpath expression look like? Below are the examples I tried with no luck. <camel:filter> <camel:xpath>/myns:SomeTag = ${sys.MY_PROP}</camel:xpath> </camel:filter> AND <camel:filter> <camel:xpath>/myns:SomeTag = sys:MY_PROP</camel:xpath> </camel:filter> Claus Ibsen-2 wrote: > > Hi > > See this wiki page > http://camel.apache.org/xpath > > that may help a bit. > > > > On Mon, Nov 2, 2009 at 10:11 PM, bhusted <bhus...@yahoo.com> wrote: >> >> Is it possible to refer to a Java System property in a camel:xpath >> filter? >> >> For example: >> >> <camel:filter> >> <camel:xpath>/myns:SomeTag = ${sys.SomeSystemProp}</camel:xpath> >> </camel:filter> >> >> >> Any suggestions if this isn't possible for combining xpath and expression >> language would be REALLY helpful. >> >> Thanks >> -- >> View this message in context: >> http://old.nabble.com/Use-sys.property-in-xpath-filter-tp26157832p26157832.html >> Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. >> >> > > > > -- > Claus Ibsen > Apache Camel Committer > > Author of Camel in Action: http://www.manning.com/ibsen/ > Open Source Integration: http://fusesource.com > Blog: http://davsclaus.blogspot.com/ > Twitter: http://twitter.com/davsclaus > > -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Use-sys.property-in-xpath-filter-tp26157832p26284380.html Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
