Router
Router
The Router is a producer which makes it possible to route messages to other flows. You can choose to send one message to flow A, another to flow B and delete yet another.
The routing works according to mappings and a router strategy. The strategy determines which part of the message is evaluated against the mapping values.
When a mapping value is found, the message is sent to the flow that is referred to. If multiple mappings satisfy, the message is sent to multiple flows.
In routing, the full ConnectMessage with all associated headers and properties is always sent.
In the table below, you will find an explanation of these properties. All attributes with a ‘*’ are mandatory.
