XML RPC

Since Camel 2.11

As the XmlRpc message could be request or response, when you use the XmlRpcDataFormat, you need to specify the dataformat is for request or not.

<camelContext id="camel" xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring">

    <!-- we define the xml rpc data formats to be used -->
    <dataFormats>
        <xmlrpc id="xmlrpcRequest" request="true"/>
        <xmlrpc id="xmlrpcResponse" request="false"/>
    </dataFormats>

    <route>
        <from uri="direct:request"/>
        <marshal ref="xmlrpcRequest"/>
        <unmarshal>
           <xmlrpc request="true"/>
        </unmarshal>
        <to uri="mock:request" />
    </route>

    <route>
        <from uri="direct:response"/>
        <marshal>
            <xmlrpc request="false"/>
        </marshal>
        <unmarshal ref="xmlrpcResponse"/>
        <to uri="mock:response" />
    </route>
</camelContext>
